Greenwood Takes From Mateos

Level 14 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Adrian Mateos opened to 100,000 from middle position and Sam Greenwood defended from the big blind.

The flop came K42 and Greenwood check-called a 13,000 continuation bet from Mateos.

Greenwood lead out with a 26,000 bet on the 4 turn and Mateos made the call.

On the Q river Greenwood bet 128,000 and this time it was enough to force a fold from Mateos.

Camosci Doubles, Daher Suffers a Brutal Beat in a Hand He Isn't Even In

Level 14 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Enrico Camosci moved all in for around 50,000 from the big blind over a raise from Gha Iakobishvili, and Iakobishvili called.

Enrico Camosci: AQ
Gha Iakobishvili: Q10

Iakobishvili was dominated but hit the 1027 flop, making top pair and leaving Camosci needing help. The board ran out 64 and Camosci improved to the nut flush to earn a double up.

"No!" Albert Daher cried out after seeing the board come all clubs. He and Iakobishvili had a $100,000 bet over a board with all the same suits but had recently called it off.

Daher Down $152,000 After Doubling Mateos

Level 13 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Albert Daher raised to 16,000 under the gun, then called when small blind Adrian Mateos moved all in for 122,000.

Adrian Mateos: AQ
Albert Daher: KJ

The QJ5 flop gave both players a pair, but Mateos was ahead with his pair of queens.

"That's 15," Gha Iakobishvili confirmed to Daher.

"What am I down now? $152,000," Daher replied as the board ran out 103 and Mateos doubled up.

The next hand, Sam Greenwood raised to 18,000 in early position and Daher defended his big blind.

The flop came Q2K and Greenwood continued for 16,000. Daher called, then folded to a bet of 60,000 on the J turn.

Daher showed his cards only to Iakobishvili, then mucked them. "I had two spades," he told the rest of the table.

"You played two spades? Wow," Greenwood joked.

Greenwood Takes It on the Turn

Level 13 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

"Guys, I'll give you a little tip. Don't try to put ICM pressure on him," Albert Daher told his tablemates about Gha Iakobishvili as the table folded around to Sam Greenwood on the button, who raised to 17,000.

Artur Martirosian called in the big blind and they went heads-up to the 6K9 flop. Greenwood then bet another 17,000 and Martirosian called.

The turn came the 3 and Greenwood fired out another 55,000. Martirosian quickly let his hand go.

Sam Greenwood

Mikita Badziakouski opened to 16,000 from under the gun and Enrico Camosci moved all in for 147,000 from the small blind. Sam Greenwood called off from the big blind with a stack of 95,000 and Badziakouski got out of the way.

Sam Greenwood: 1010
Enrico Camosci: AK

It was a classic preflop flip but Greenwood pulled way ahead with top set on the 1084 flop. The 3 turn left Camosci drawing dead and after the Q was dealt on the river Greenwood collected a full double up while Camosci was left with just over six big blinds.

Daniel Rezaei: KQ

The flop came 6210, keeping O'Dwyer in the lead with a pair of sixes. Rezaei couldn't connect with the 3 turn, but the river came the Q and Rezaei made a pair of queens to send O'Dwyer to the rail.
