Burmistrov Gets a Pure Triple

Level 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Nemanja Lukovic opened from early position to 16,000. The action then folded to Wooram Cho in the small blind who flat-called before Fedor Burmistrov also flat-called out of the big blind off a stack of about 50,000.

The Q99 flop landed and action checked to Lukovic who continued for 14,000. Cho called and action was on Burmistrov. After about a minute in the tank he announced he was all in for his remaining 36,000.

Lukovic thought over his option and then put in the extra chips. Cho opted to tag along aswell.

The Q landed on the turn double pairing the board and action quickly checked through to a 3 river. It was checked through once more and hands were tabled. Lukovic and Cho rolled over ace-high and Burmistrov tabled 95 for a full house and the win. He would get a put triple-up after a call from the big blind at just the right time.

Niederreiter Doubles Through Gordo

Level 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Fabian Niederreiter moved all in from early position for 48,000 before action made it to Guillermo Gordo in the cutoff. He took a moment before announcing he was all in for a few big blinds more. The remaining players folded and the cards hit their back with Niederreiter at risk.

Fabian Niederreiter: K5
Guillermo Gordo: QQ

Gordo had a commanding lead going to a flop but the dealer had other plans as they tabled the K41010J board. Niederreiter doubled through Gordo to gain some new life.
