Fabrice Bigot bet 75,000 from under the gun on a board of 7♠3♣6♠10♥ before Aleksandr Faterin moved all in from the cutoff.

Faterin showed him K♦10♣ and Bigot admitted he folded queen-ten. Bigot folded his big blind to a raise from Bart Lybaert the next hand, then got his last 120,000 in against Fabio Peluso a few hands later.

Fabio Peluso: Q♣10♣

Bigot had Peluso dominated, but the board came all diamonds with 3♦6♦A♦K♦7♦. Peluso told Bigot about his dramatic chop against Paul Newey yesterday as they split this pot.

Nível 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Bart Lybaert opened to 40,000 from the button and Fabio Peluso three-bet to 165,000 from the small blind. Lybaert made the call.

The flop came J♠5♣K♠. Peluso fired a 125,000 continuation bet which was called by Lybaert.

On the 3♦ turn Peluso moved all in for 500,000.

"I'll use some cards" Lybaert said, in reference to his time extensions. After considering his options for just over one minute, Lybaert flicked in a single calling chip to put Peluso at risk.

"Good call" Peluso told his opponent as the cards were put on their backs.

Fabio Peluso: A♦Q♦
Bart Lybaert: K♥Q♣

Peluso had been caught bluffing and could only be saved by a ten or an ace, neither of which materialized on the 9♥ river. Peluso made his exit from the tournament area while Lybaert took down a sizable pot.

Nível 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Nikita Kuznetsov raised to 50,000 on the button and Harald Sammer defended his big blind.

The flop came 9♠9♦6♣ and Kuznetsov continued for 25,000. Sammer then raised to 75,000 and Kuznetsov asked how much he had behind.

Sammer moved his chips forward to give Kuznetsov a clear look. "Three eighty," tablemate Victor Yugay said. Kenny Hallaert, a tournament director and a poker pro, reminded Yugay he shouldn't answer for Sammer.

Kuznetsov called to the Q♦ turn, where Sammer checked and Kuznetsov bet 65,000. Sammer called and the A♦ fell on the river.

Sammer checked again and Kuznetsov picked up the dealer button and slammed it on the table, checking behind. Sammer flashed a queen, but Kuznetsov had A♠6♠ for a better two pair on the river to win the pot.
