De Zutter and Ilies Lead the Way

According to Alexandre de Zutter, he won a big pot against Guy Meller in the last level when defending his big blind to a raise to 1,600. On a flop of :::4x:::4x:::2x, de Zutter check-called a bet of 2,200 and then check-raised the :::6d turn from 4,500 to 9,800. Meller called and the :::5x appeared on the river.

De Zutter bet 16,000 and was called to show :::4c:::2c for a full house and big blind special, Meller had improved to a straight. Florin Ionut Ilies is the other big stack at the table not far behind. He raised the button and called the shove of Eli Lahem with :::7h:::7s. Lahem had :::Ad:::Qd and the board ran out {10s}:::5c:::4d:::8d:::2s.

Mihai Manole arrived on the same table with a healthy stack as well.
