Suarez Rides the Heart Rollercoaster

Level 22 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Anton Suarez opened to 125,000 on the button, Igor Yaroshevskyy jammed in the big blind, and Suarez quickly called for his 1,030,000 chips.

Anton Suarez: {a-Hearts}{q-Spades}
Igor Yaroshevskyy: {q-Hearts}{9-Hearts}

Suarez was in good shape until the {6-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{4-Hearts} flop vaulted Yaroshevskyy ahead with a flush. The {j-Clubs} turn left Suarez needing another heart, and the {10-Hearts} hit the felt on the river to give him the superior flush and keep his tournament life alive.

It wasn't too long ago when Yaroshevskyy doubled through Suarez by making a heart flush, and Suarez was able to return the favor as the overabundance of hearts went his way to secure a double of his own.

Benitez Has the Right Read, Makes the Wrong Call

Level 22 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Francisco Benitez
Francisco Benitez

Igor Yaroshevskyy opened to 120,000 from the cutoff and Francisco Benitez flat-called on the button to get the hand heads-up.

Yaroshevskyy checked on the flop of {2-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} and Benitez checked back. Yaroshevskyy then bet 80,000 on the {6-Spades} turn and Benitez called.

The river brought the {7-Clubs} and Yaroshevskyy sized up to 350,000.

"Seven on the river? Sick," Benitez said before making a reluctant call.

Indeed, Yaroshevskyy had hit the seven on the river as he turned over {8-Hearts}{7-Hearts} to win the pot.

Suarez Getting Shorter

Level 22 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Just before the blinds went up, Igor Yaroshevskyy opened to 100,000 on the button, Francisco Benitez called in the small blind, and Anton Suarez defended the big blind.

The {k-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} flop was checked to the {2-Spades} turn. Benitez checked, Suarez bet 75,000, and only Yaroshevskyy continued. Both players checked the {2-Diamonds} river.

Yaroshevskyy tabled {j-Spades}{j-Hearts} to defeat Suarez's {q-Clubs}{8-Hearts} and leave him with under ten big blinds.

All Whistles and Hearts as Suarez Doubles Up Yaroshevskyy, Then Finds His Own Double

Level 21 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Anton Suarez
Anton Suarez

Igor Yaroshevskyy open-shoved a stack of 760,000 from the button and Anton Suarez called out of the big blind.

Igor Yaroshevskyy: {k-Hearts}{10-Hearts}
Anton Suarez: {a-Clubs}{6-Clubs}

Suarez let out a whistle as the board came {a-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{7-Hearts} to give himself a pair of aces but to also give Yaroshevskyy a flush draw. The {2-Hearts} on the turn gave Yaroshevskyy the flush and the {5-Hearts} on the river didn't change anything for Yaroshevskyy to earn a double.

Two hands later, Suarez open-shoved his stack of 390,000 from the button and Joris Ruijs flat-called from the small blind.

Anton Suarez: {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts}
Joris Ruijs: {a-Hearts}{a-Spades}

Suarez had run into aces but let out another whistle when the flop came {j-Spades}{6-Hearts}{5-Hearts} to give him his own heart draw. He hit it on the {2-Hearts} turn and the non-heart {9-Clubs} on the river earned him the double as Ruijs whipped out his phone to relay the bad beat tale.

Bruno Volkmann: {k-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}
Francisco Benitez: {5-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}

The {9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} flop was an interesting one as Benitez flopped a set, yet Volkmann had a flush draw to stay alive. However, the {4-Clubs} and {2-Clubs} completed the board and ended Volkmann's run in fifth place for €32,340.

Igor Yaroshevskyy: {k-Spades}{j-Spades}
Bruno Volkmann: {5-Spades}{5-Diamonds}

The duo were off to the races, and the {j-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{2-Spades} flop put Yaroshevskyy well ahead. The {8-Spades} and {9-Spades} completed the board to improve him further to a flush, and he secured the double-up.
