Level 2 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Three players saw the flop come down 4♦5♥J♠. Kadir Altinbasak was first to act from the small blind and fired out a bet of 50,000, into a pot of around 70,000. The big blind called and Naryman Yaghmaie called from the cutoff.

Altinbasak checked the J♥ turn and the big blind player fired out 75,000. Yaghmaie got out the way, but Altinbasak made the call.

The Q♣ river checked through and Altinbasak took down the pot with trip jacks holding A♠J♦.

The player under the gun raised to 10,000 before Aylar Lie three-bet to 40,000 from the button. After the blinds folded, Lie's opponent stuck in the call.

The A♣Q♦J♥ flop got checked to Lie and she fired out a continuation-bet of 35,000. The under the gun player called.

After the under the gun player checked the 10♦ turn, Lie fired a second barrel, this time for 105,000. The under the gun player quickly called.

When the board-pairing 10♣ dropped on the river, the under the player led out for 160,000. Lie thought it over for quite some time before making the call. The under the gun player showed a rivered boat with A♦10♠ to take down the pot.

The action was picked up on the turn of a board that showed 10♠J♦7♥3♣. There were roughly 80,000 chips in the middle before Kemal Aslan checked from the small blind. Erik Smith bet 40,000 from the big blind, which Aslan called,

The river came the 8♥ and both players checked. Smith showed top two pair with Jx10x, and was in disbelief after Aslan tabled 8♠8♦ for a rivered set of eights to win the pot.
