A completed board of 6♠Q♠5♥4♥J♠ was already dealt when Christopher Nguyen jammed all in from the big blind. The pot totaled 170,000, and Nguyen had put his opponent Francisco Caballo Pena to the test for 158,000.
Caballo Pena tanked for roughly five minutes in the hijack. Eventually, he decided to fold as he continued playing with a stack of over 50 big blinds.
Mateusz Wozniak opened to 6,000 from middle position and Mihai Niste defended in the big blind.
The J♣8♦5♠ flop was checked through.
The A♣ hit on the turn, and Niste check-called versus an almost pot bet of 15,000 from Wozniak.
The 4♣ river completed the board and was checked through. Niste showed A♥8♠ for the turned two pair, and Wozniak mucked.
Nível: 14
Blinds: 1,500/3,000
Ante: 3,000
The bubble is fast approaching in the EPT Cyprus Main Event, with 216 remaining. The top 191 finishers will make the money, with the possibility that the bubble will burst today.
As the players head on a 20-minute break, check out the highlights from Level 13.
Mohamed Ameur Hammi got his stack of 73,000 in from the hijack against Alon Huberman in the big blind.
Mohamed Ameur Hammi: K♦K♣ 
Alon Huberman: Q♠Q♦
Hammi had Huberman dead on the 8♣7♣4♦K♠ turn. The 5♥ river was rendered meaningless as Huberman paid Hammi and was left with less than ten big blinds.
There were around 50,000 chips in the pot on a board of J♦7♦7♥3♣2♦ when Lyudmil Ivanov checked it over to Timur Kurbanov, who fired an almost pot-sized bet of 45,000. Ivanov then shoved, which after Kurbanov got the count was confirmed to be 125,000. The Russian player had 100,000 behind and elected to preserve it, and folded his hand.
PokerStars listened to feedback from female poker players on how to draw women to the game, and now the poker site is responding.
The upcoming PokerStars North American Poker Tour (NAPT) Las Vegas festival will feature a $330 buy-in Women's Event on Nov. 5. Notably, the event has a $30,000 guaranteed prize pool attached.
Last year's NAPT Women's Event had a $360 price tag and drew 94 entrants for a prize pool of $28,200. That means PokerStars is expecting this year's event to be an even greater success.
The Women's Event will get underway at 12:30 p.m. local time on Nov. 5 and allows for unlimited reentry. The event will feature 30-minute levels and will see players starting with stacks of 30,000.
Georgios Tsouloftas opened to 5,000 from early position, and was met with a three-bet to 30,000 by Nicolas Vayssieres in middle position, who had about 24,000 left behind.
Action folded back to Tsouloftas, who smiled and asked his opponent "Do you want to go home?", before four-betting with the covering stack. Vayssieres quickly got the rest of his chips in the middle.
Nicolas Vayssieres: A♠Q♠
Georgios Tsouloftas: 7♥7♣
Vayssieres needed some help from the board, and got it on the A♣6♦2♣ flop. That left Tsouloftas needing to bink a seven on the turn or river, but it did not come on the 6♥K♠ runout.
