Robert Heidorn opened with an under-the-gun raise, and Olivier Busquet three-bet to 60,000 in the cutoff. From the small blind, Erik Seidel four-bet to 145,000 total, and that was enough to chase Heidorn out of the way. Busquet spent a couple minutes considering it, then called to see a flop.

It came . Seidel assembled a stack of chips and slid out what looked like 130,000 of them. Busquet spent another couple minutes in thought, long enough for us to count the 251,000 chips he had left in front of him. He eventually surrendered his cards into the muck, and Seidel won the pot with no further resistance.

Erik Seidel – 645,000 (65 bb)
Olivier Busquet – 251,000 (25 bb)

George Dolofan moved all in for 77,000 in middle position, and Stephen Chidwick called on the button to put him at risk. From the small blind, though, Andjelko Andrejevic re-shoved for about 280,000 total, and Chidwick pondered for a long while before surrendering his cards into the muck.

Dolofan was heads-up with a chance to triple up, but he was in bad shape.

Dolofan:
Andrejevic:

The flop was a good start for Dolofan, and the turn gave him an unbeatable ace-high flush. The river was the meaningless , and Dolofan came from behind to triple up.

Stephen Chidwick – 310,000 (39 bb)
Andjelko Andrejevic – 205,000 (26 bb)
