"No coffee right now?" Kurganov asked. "Nothing to hide?"

Kurganov then asked if Urbanovich was really tanking with trips. He called, and Urbanovich took down the massive pot.

Small Pots

Level 21 : 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante

Hand #84: Erik Seidel started with 1.8 million and opened with {A-Clubs}{J-Spades} from the small blind. Igor Kurganov found {A-Spades}{J-Diamonds} in the big blind and shoved all in to put the pressure on his neighbor.

Seidel had to decide for all of his chips, tanked and sighed for some time, and called eventually after some minutes of tanking. The board ran out {2-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{Q-Hearts} and the two of them chopped it up.

Hand #85: Sammartino opened {A-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds} to 225,000 under the gun. Action folded to Max Altergott in the big blind and he called with {2-Clubs}{2-Hearts}. The flop came {10-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{4-Clubs} and Altergott checked. Sammartino checked behind.

The {10-Hearts} on the turn made Altergott check again. Sammartino bet 135,000 and Altergott check raised to 425,000. While Altergott put his glasses on, Sammartino tanked and folded.

Hand #86: Urbanovich took down the blinds and antes after shoving for 1,525,000 under the gun with {A-Hearts}{Q-Spades}.

Hand #87: Kurganov opened to 210,000 with {8-Spades}{7-Hearts}. Urbanovich made the call from the big blind with {9-Hearts}{J-Clubs}. The {10-Hearts}{Q-Spades}{8-Clubs} flop and {K-Spades} turn made both players check. {8-Hearts} on the river and Urbanovich bet 325,000. Kurganov called with trips and Urbanovich's {J-Clubs}{9-Hearts} turned out to be no good.

Hand #88: Dario Sammartino opened {A-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} on the button to 200,000. Erik Seidel in the big blind called with {9-Clubs}{7-Clubs}. The flop came {J-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{10-Spades} and both players checked. {J-Hearts} on the turn and again two checks. The {J-Clubs} completed the board and Seidel checked a third time. Sammartino thought about it for a bit, and bet a small 100,000. The graphics said Seidel called with his nine-high, but we're unsure that happened.
