Hand #97 – Baptiste Audoli opens to 1,500,000 from the cutoff with Heart KClub 10 and gets it through.

Hand#98 – Hugues Girard opens to 800,000 from the button with Spade QDiamond 6 and takes the blinds.

Hand #99 – Oleksii Ievchenko moves all in for 3,600,000 from the button and gets it through.

Hand #100 – Oleksii Ievchenko jams from the cutoff Spade ASpade 7 for 4,600,000 and gets it through.

Hand #101 – Etienne Silva De Oliveira completes in the small blind with Diamond 10Club 9 and Kostya Zaks checks his option with Diamond JSpade 9.

On the Spade JClub 8Club 6 flop, De Oliveira leads out with a bet of 500,000, which Zaks calls.

On the Spade 4 turn, De Oliveira slides out a bet of 1,500,000. Zaks takes some time for thought before calling. 

The Heart 7 hits on the river to give De Oliveira the straight. He jams for 3,500,000. Zaks goes into the tank, eyeing his opponent, and De Oliveira thinks Zaks has called when he puts in a time bank. De Oliveira seems desperate to turn over his cards but realises at the last moment Zaks hasn’t called and pulls back, giving off a big physical tell. That perhaps eventually persuades Zaks to fold.

Etienne Silva De Oliveira – 8,700,000 (21 bb)
Kostya Zaks – 10,000,000 (50 bb)
