Terziani Flops a Set to Bust Machado

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

Diogo Machado got his 100,000 into the middle preflop from the small blind with Stefano Terziani trying to bust him from the big blind.

Diogo Machado: 99 All in
Stefano Terziani: 88

Machado was in great shape to double up, as long as he faded an eight. The flop of 58Q was highly favorable for Terziani as he spiked a set of eights. The rest of the board ran out K2 and Machado was out.

Gunchev Quadruples Up

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

Nikola Gunchev moved all in from under the gun for his very short stack of 3,000. Yiannakis Papapetrou, in middle position, raised to 6,500 and Nebojsa Ankucic, in the big blind, called.

With action on the side, the dealer spread the 783 flop. Both players checked through to the 5 on the turn. Ankucic bet out 5,000 and Papapetrou folded.

Nikola Gunchev: 55 All in
Nebojsa Ankucic: A3

The inconsequential A fell on the river; Gunchev's turned set was good for a quadruple-up.

Too Many Outs for Pihela Jr.

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

Igor Pihela Jr. moved all in for approximately 15,000 from the button and was looked up by Eugene Katchalov, in the big blind.

Igor Pihela Jr.: 87 All in
Eugene Katchalov: AK

The action flop landed K5J giving Katachalov top pair, while Pihela Jr. had outs to a flush. The 7 gave Pihela Jr. additional outs, but the 3 saw him sent to the rail.

Gadzhiev Wins a Flip

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

Gonzalo Leal opened from middle position to 5,000 and Roman Gadzhiev shoved from the cutoff for 31,500. When the action got back to Leal, he asked for a count, then made the call.

Roman Gadzhiev: KJ All in
Gonzalo Leal: 77

Gadzhiev took the lead on the J6Q flop, but Leal picked up a flush draw, which left things in the balance. A 3 on the turn changed nothing, and Gadzhiev managed to evade elimination as the 10 completed the runout, which kept his pair of jacks in front.

Cubukcu’s All-In Adventure Ends with a Chip Crumble

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

Florian Duta started the action with a raise to 5,000 from under the gun. Omer Cubukcu, in early position, decided to three-bet to 18,500. Not to be outdone, Tom Kunze in the cutoff four-bet to 32,000. Duta tossed his cards into the muck, but after some deliberation, Cubukcu went all in. Kunze snap-called, and they headed to showdown.

Tom Kunze: KKAll in
Omer Cubukcu: AK

Cubukcu was in need of some help from the board, but the runout of 410Q67 didn’t offer him any assistance. Kunze secured a double-up, leaving Cubukcu with just a handful of chips.

Maltez Plays for It All

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

The pot had grown to 20,500 with two players looking at a flop of 695.

Yiannis Liperis, in the big blind, bet out 7,000. Fabrice Maltez, who was under the gun, raised to 26,500 and Liperis called.

The 4 turn saw Liperis check-call a bet of 20,000 from Maltez.

The K prompted Liperis to play in flow. Maltez moved all in for about 30,000, earning a fold from Liperis.
