No Diamonds, But Filskov Makes Flop His Best Friend

Raymi Sanchez Thorn opened to 4,900, and Jeff Sarwer called in the cutoff. Nathanael Filskov joined from the small blind. The flop came out a uniform {9-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}. Filskov, an online qualifier, fired out 9,000. Thorn quickly made it 25,200 to go. Sarwer didn't look happy about it, but he gave up his hand. Action back on him, Filskov three-bet to 65,000. Thorn mucked, and Filskov showed pocket nines for top set.

A Plaus-ible Bet?

Clayton Mozdzen had opened preflop to 5,200 before Aleh Plauski reraised to 13,500 next to him. Everyone folded to back to Mozdzen who made the call.

The flop was {8-Diamonds} {8-Spades} {A-Hearts} and Mozdzen check-called a bet of 16,500 to see a {7-Spades} turn. Mozdzen checked again and Plauski thought for several minutes before betting 37,000 and now it was Mozdzen's turn to think deep.

"You like you hand?" said Mozdzen but he got no response. Mozdzen flashed {A-Clubs} {Q-Clubs} and threw it into the muck. "You got ace-king?" said the Canadian but again Plauski said and showed nothing.

Paul Pulls The Trigo

Heinz Kamutzki opened preflop to 4,200 and Max Lykov flatted in middle position, Paul Pires-Trigo pushed all-in for around 30,000 and Kamutzki tanked before folding but Lykov snap-called.

Pires-Trigo: {A-Hearts} {K-Clubs}
Lykov: {A-Clubs} {Q-Spades}

The board was very pro Pires-Trigo, coming {5-Clubs} {J-Diamonds} {2-Clubs} {K-Diamonds} {4-Clubs} to double him up while Kamutzki admitted he would've have won the lot if he'd called.

Markushevski Dodges Lithuanian-on-Lithuanian Aggression

Vadim Markushevski raised to 4,400 from early position, and next to act, Andrej Vinogrodskij called. The big blind,Donelius Kudulis, joined them to see the {10-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{2-Spades} flop. Kudulis bet out 8,500, and Markushevski folded, leaving the two Lithuanians to battle it out. Vinogrodskij checked out his countryman's stack, which only had about 15,000 left in it. Vinogrodskij slid out enough chips to put Kudulis all in, and despite the pot size, Kudulis declined to call all in. As he pulled in the chips, Vinogrodskij showed {4-Spades}{4-Hearts} for just a pair of fours. He's up to 118,000.

Left Weekes At The Knees

Jonathan Weekes looks to be the new chip leader here in Tallinn with a whooping 410,000.

He just explained how he eliminated the Russian Mikhail Mazunin on a Jack-high two club flop when holding {A-Clubs} {3-Clubs} and made the flush against his opponent's {J-} {J-} to knock him out.
