Nível 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Artur Martirosian raised to 18,000 from under the gun, Lander Lijo three-bet to 48,000 in the hijack and Felipe Boianovsky cold-four bet to 88,000. Kuljinder Sidhu, on the button, called off the bet for his remaining 86,000. Martirosian folded and Lijo called.

Lijo and Boianovsky checked it down and the final board read 6♠2♦3♦A♠10♦.

Kuljinder Sidhu: K♣K♥ All in
Felipe Boianovsky: A♦Q♣
Lander Lijo: A♣Q♦

Sidhu's kings were cracked sending him to the rail as Lijo and Boianovsky chopped the pot. Martirosian later told the table he also folded an ace, meaning the ace on the turn was, in fact, the last in the deck.

With 32 players remaining and 31 being paid, the tournament is now playing hand for hand.

Ben Heath opened to 16,000 under the gun and was met with a three-bet to 28,000 by Daniel Rezaei in middle position. Action folded back to Heath, who called.

Heath check-called a bet of 9,000 from Rezaei on the J♦3♦2♦ flop.

The 7♥ rolled off on the turn, and Heath check-called a small bet of 12,000 from Rezaei.

The K♣ landed on the river, and Heath checked once more. Rezaei thought momentarily before announcing he was all in, easily covering Heath.

Heath chuckled to himself, checked his cards a couple of times and considered the spot for a minute or so. He then folded, shaking his head as he did so.

As Rezaei raked in the pot, he looked at his opponent, smiled and said "Pleased to not get snapped by a flush."

Heath responding "That was a weird f***ing hand, man."
