Dowling Chooses to Play for it All

Level 19 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

The action folded around to Christopher Dowling in the small blind who opted to shove all in for 415,000. It was a big shove from Dowling but Arnaud Enselme had him covered in the big blind and also had a premium hand to call with.

Christopher Dowling: {k-Spades}{q-Diamonds}
Arnaud Enselme: {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}

Despite being dominated, Dowling took the lead on the {k-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{7-Hearts} with two pair. The {8-Hearts}, {j-Diamonds} runout was no help to Enselme who was forced to cough up a large portion of his stack.

Sebbah Rivers a Pair to Pick Up a Bounty

Level 19 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Peter Kvisthammar was down to around 100,000 chips and ripped all in from middle position. Avner Sebbah reshoved all in for around 200,000 on the button and the blinds folded.

Peter Kvisthammar: {2-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}
Avner Sebbah: {a-Spades}{j-Spades}

The flop came {10-Spades}{6-Hearts}{4-Clubs} and Sebbah was still looking to connect with the board. The {q-Spades} on the turn gave him a royal flush draw, but it was just the {a-Hearts} on the river that gave him a pair and eliminated Kvisthammar.

Level 19 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Christopher Dowling opened to 20,000 from middle position before Nikita Kuznetsov jammed for around 100,000 on the button. Jose Ruiz Dominguez then ripped in his bigger stack from the small blind which folded out Dowling.

Nikita Kuznetsov: {8-Spades}{8-Clubs}
Jose Ruiz Dominguez: {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}

Kuznetsov was unable to improve on the {k-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{7-Clubs}{3-Clubs} runout and was eliminated.

Galindo Doubles Ning; Dives Under Million Mark

Level 19 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Zhi Yi Ning
Zhi Yi Ning

The chips were all in preflop between Humberto Lopes Galindo and Zhi Yi Ning when the action was caught.

Zhi Yi Ning: {q-Clubs}{q-Hearts}
Humberto Lopes Galindo: {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}

Ning was at risk in the classic no-limit hold 'em flip. The board ran out all numbers with {8-Clubs}{9-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{5-Hearts} and Ning doubled up. In the meantime, Galindo's stack took a little dive from his previous seven-figure mark, but he is still sitting very comfortably with close to three times the average.

Level 19 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Aliaksandr Shylko
Aliaksandr Shylko

The action folded to Aliaksandr Shylko in the cutoff who shoved all in for his last 177,000 chips. Moonho Seo was in the big blind and looked down at a premium before calling.

Aliaksandr Shylko: {6-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}
Moonho Seo: {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs}

The flop of {a-Clubs}{9-Spades}{7-Clubs} provided no immediate help for Shylko but the {5-Spades} on the turn gave him a straight draw. The {10-Diamonds} bricked off on the river and the 2023 PSPC winner exited the tournament.
