Flutur Bombs the River

Ollie Garland

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Nichan Khorchidian raised to 4,000 from the button, the small blind called, as did Mircea Flutur, in the big blind.

The 10♣K♦8♠ flop checked through to the 4♥ on the turn. The small blind checked and Flutur took the lead for 6,000. Khorchidian called and the small blind folded.

The 7♣ river saw Flutur over-bet the size of a pot with a healthy wager of 41,000. Khorchidian spent several minutes in the tank before folding. As Flutur raked in the pot, he flashed the 3♣ to the table.

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Ion-Silviu Scobai: K♥K♠ All in
Hanouadi Del Pino: A♠Q♦ All in
Hamza Nasir: 9♥9♠

Scobai was the shortest stack and had the chance to triple up with pocket kings. The board ran out A♦6♦7♠K♣J♦ which gave Scobai the best hand with a turned set of kings. Scobai tripled up, while Del Pino won the big side pot having hit an ace.

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

With the pot at around 28,000 and the flop showing 7♠9♣5♦, Ali Emre Ozcan, first to act, opted to check. Nebojsa Ankucic saw an opening and placed a bet of 11,000, which Ozcan called after some deliberation.

The K♠ appeared on the turn, and Ozcan checked once again. Ankucic continued his aggression with a 20,000 bet, but this time Ozcan responded by moving all in for 64,000. Feeling the pressure, Ankucic chose to muck his cards, handing the sizable pot over to Ozcan.

Alessandro Pichierri raised to 4,000 from early position and only Parham Ghadamgahi defended out of the big blind.

Both players checked a board of 9♣7♣9♥5♠5♥ all the way down to the river before Ghadamgahi bet 6,000. Pichierri thought it over briefly before flicking in the call. Ghadamgahi turned turned over A♠9♠ for a full house and Pichierri mucked his hand.

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Arian Hassankashani opened to 4,000 from under the gun and Andrei Sediakin shoved for 36,500 from the cutoff. Edward Quinn then committed his stack of around 26,500 to the pot from the small blind, which left Hassankashani with a decision. After getting the counts of both stacks, Hassankashani elected to surrender his chance at eliminating two players, and folded.

Edward Quinn: A♣J♣ All in
Andrei Sediakin: A♦Q♠

Quinn was at risk and needed to come from behind if he wanted to survive. Some help arrived in the shape of a K♠2♠2♣ flop as plenty of chop outs were available. The 4♠ river didn't change too much, and Quinn failed to survive on the 7♣ river as Sediakin's kicker played.

Andrii Vasylyk	75,000 75,000	75,000

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Sergi Reixach raised to 4,000 from under the gun, Mathieu Di Meglio three-bet to 11,500 on the button and Mohamadou Abilil, in the small blind, cold-called. Reixach also called.

The action checked to Di Meglio, who continued for 5,000 on the 9♦4♠4♦ flop. Abilil check-raised to 17,000 and Reixach stepped aside. Di Meglio called.

Abilil bet again on the 5♥ turn, this time for 25,000. Di Meglio was undettered.

The A♥ river saw one last bet of 45.000 from Abilil. Di Meglio beat him into the pot with a call. Abilil rolled over Q♦10♦, but was beaten by the A♠10♣ of Di Meglio.

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Adi Rajkovic opened the action from middle position with a raise to 4,000, and Fintan Hand, sitting in the hijack, took his shot, shoving all in for his last 25,500. Anton Volkov, in the small blind, followed suit, moving all in as well. That was enough to push Rajkovic out of the hand, leaving Hand and Volkov to battle it out.

Fintan Hand: A♣J♥ All in
Anton Volkov: 9♣9♠

Hand needed some help, and luck was on his side as the flop came J♠5♣4♦, giving him top pair. The 6♥ turn and 3♠ river didn’t change the outcome, allowing Hand to score a crucial double-up.

Anton Volkov	435,000 394,500	394,500

Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Saleh Assi made it 5,000 to go from the hijack and Konstantin Voronin called from the cutoff. Damir Zhugralin also called from the small blind .

On the flop of J♣9♦3♠, Zhugralin open-shoved for around 30,000, which got Assi to fold, but Voronin called.

Damir Zhugralin: 10♦8♠ All in
Konstantin Voronin: K♠J♥

Zhugralin decided to go with his open-ended straight draw, but it didn't pay off for the Kazakhstani player as the runout of 4♠4♦ meant he was eliminated.
