Ryan Lashmar

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

David Djian opened to 55,000 from the hijack and Bruno Khalifa three-bet to 110,000 from the small blind. Djian made the call.

The flop came J♠9♠3♥ and Khalifa fired a 175,000 continuation bet that was called by Djian.

Khalifa fired a second barrel on the 3♦ turn for 350,000 and this time it was enough to force a fold from his opponent.

Shomron Finds a Double and a Pay Jump

Patrick Cole

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Eduard Simonyan opened from the button to 40,000. Amir Shomron made it 60,000 from the big blind, leaving 13,000 behind after having the clock called on him.

Simonyan reshoved all in for over 1,000,000. Shomron then tanked again, before having the clock called on him. He used most of his 30 seconds before hearing "seat open" from across the room. He flicked in the call and the players showed down.

Amir Shomron: 3♦3♥ All in
Eduard Simonyan: K♠5♣

The 4♥4♦2♠ flop gave Shomron two pair and the A♥ turn gave him a straight draw. The river 10♠ ensured he would double and make the pay jump.

He apologized to his tablemates for tanking and having to have the clock called on him. His tablemates were empathetic, with Boris Angelov adding "€1,000 isn't nothing, that's like three cheeseburgers at the restaurant."
