Livello 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

The under-the-gun player raised before Jaspal Brar made it 9,000 on their direct left. Action folded back around to the original raiser who made it 30,000, leaving around 25,000 behind. Brar put in the five-bet and his opponent called off their stack.

"Must be aces versus aces," said a tablemate.

Under the gun: A♣A♠K♣3♣
Jaspal Brar: A♥A♦J♣3♦

The at risk player made a straight but was drawing dead as Brar hit the nut-flush on the Q♦J♦10♦ flop. The 7♥8♦ runout was a formality and Brar took in the pot.

Livello 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

A player from middle position bet 2,800 and was called by a player in the hijack. Maximilian Schindler then three-bet to 11,600 from the big blind and received a call from both opponents.

the flop came A♥5♥2♠ and Schindler led out for 11,600. The middle position player folded but the player in the hijack made the call to stick around.

The river came the 5♣. Schindler bet 48,300, leaving himself just a single grey `100 chip behind. His opponent went deep into the tank and Schindler buried his head into his shirt to make sure he was not giving off any reads.

After about 90 seconds of deliberation the hijack player made the fold and Schindler received a nice pot.
