Andrei Cherkashin bet 4,000 from under the gun on a flop of 7♥K♥J♥ and Dylan DeStefano called in the big blind.

The turn came the Q♣ and Cherkashin made sure that DeStefano had already checked before checking back. DeStefano then led out for 8,000 on the Q♦ river.

Cherkasin came back with a raise to 25,000 and DeStefano spent about a minute in the tank before mucking.

Dmitrii Levin three-bet to 18,000 in the big blind and Nikolay Baryshnikov called in early position. Tobias Peters then moved all in for 33,000 in the cutoff, Levin folded, but Baryshnikov quickly tossed in a chip to signify a call.

Tobias Peters: A♣A♠
Nikolay Baryshnikov: K♥K♠

Peters had woken up with aces and was a big favorite to double up as the board brought 6♠6♥10♦8♥. The river, though, came the K♦ and Baryshnikov spiked a full house.

Nível 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Damian Rapanowicz and Michel Habib were heads-up blind versus blind on a flop of Q♣7♠3♠ when Rapanowicz bet 4,000. "Why so much?" Habib asked before slamming in his last 29,000.

"All right," Rapanowicz said as he called to put Habib at risk.

Michel Habib: 6♠4♠
Damian Rapanowicz: J♣J♠

Rapanowicz was ahead with his pair of jacks as the K♣ fell on the turn, but the river brought the 2♠ and Habib completed a flush to double up.

"Thank you for calling quickly and not asking for a count," tablemate Parker Talbot told Rapanowicz.

"My pleasure. I love to gamble," Rapanowicz replied.
