Nível 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Action was heads up with 20,000 in the middle and 7♥9♣8♠ on the board when Jean Yves Chicheportiche shoved 29,800 into Alec Torelli and his remaining 26,000. Torelli went into the tank and talked out his frustration.

"I should've just shipped it," Torelli said before he made the tank-fold.

On the next hand, Pierre Zerbib raised to 2,500 from under the gun and Sim Kok Wai called from the big blind. The flop was 8♦3♠8♣ and Wai check-folded when Zerbib tossed out 3,400.

Sim Kok Wai	97,000
Pierre Zerbib	95,500 41,000	41,000

Nível 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Stephen Kehoe open-raised to 2,500 and received calls from Aviv Meiri and Jimmy Armougom. Bruno Fitoussi then went for the three-bet to 16,000 before Kehoe put in a four-bet to 40,000.

The other two players did not want to partake anymore and mucked their cards, before Fitoussi went all-in for 6,000 chips more. Kehoe was committed and made the call.

Bruno Fitoussi: A♥Q♣
Stephen Kehoe: K♠Q♠

Domination rotation as Kehoe hit a king on the 10♦3♠K♣ flop. Fitoussi could still hit an ace or jack to clinch out a win, but no more paint appeared on the 3♦8♠ runout. Fittousi busted his second bullet of the day, while Kehoe stacked up to more than 130 big blinds on his first one.

Stephen Kehoe	160,000 113,000	113,000

Nível 10 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Ricardo Caridade made the min-raise to 3,000 from middle position and Jessica Teusl three-bet to 9,000 from the button. Ghassan Bitar was in the small blind and called cold, and Caridade followed suit.

Three players saw the flop, which came down K♥9♦6♦. All players checked and the dealer put out the 4♥ turn. Bitar and Caridade checked again, but Teusl now made a bet of 15,000. This was enough to take down the pot as her opponents quickly folded.

Nível 10 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

A completed board of 2♦3♣2♠8♥6♠ was already spread on Table 3. There were 37,000 chips in the middle and Florian Duta made a slight overbet of 40,000. Jean-Pierre Boulad was in the hijack and tanked for a while before announcing ''all in''.

Duta snap called the 29,000 chips he had left himself behind and tabled 8♠8♣ for the best possible full house. ''That's why I tanked,'' Boulad explained, as he showed his 6♦6♣ for the second-best full house.

The table was in awe of this big cooler, creating two stacks over 100 big blinds at the table.

Jogador	Fichas	Oscilação
Jean-Pierre Boulad	185,000 185,000	185,000
