Levinskas Wins Big

Level 26 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante

Laurynas Levinskas raised to 120,000 from under the gun and was called by Viacheslav Goryachev in middle position as well as Andrey Zaichenko in the cut off.

The flop came down {5-Hearts}{a-Spades}{q-Spades} and all three players checked their options. With the {6-Spades} falling on the turn, Levinskas checked. Goryachev bet out 90,000 which sent Zaichenko into the tank. He then raised it up to 285,000 and was called instantly by Levinskas. Goryachev then tanked for a minute before releasing his hand.

The {9-Diamonds} completed the board and both players quickly checked.

Levinskas then tabled his {a-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} for a pair which was enough to take down the pot.

Schemion Folds to Small River Bet

Level 26 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante

Viacheslav Goryachev opened for 130,000 from the cutoff and Ole Schemion in the big blind was the only caller.

Schemion continued to check call a 100,000 bet on {Q-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} and another 200,000 on the {5-Clubs} turn.

The river came the {K-Clubs} and Schemion checked again. Goryachev bet a mere 100,000 with 245,000 behind and Schemion needed some time. He sighed, whispered "So sick!" and took some more time. Laurynas Levinskas called the clock and after about 20 seconds Schemion folded.

Schemion Dropping

Level 26 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante

The action started with Ole Schemion raising to 120,000 from the hijack. Francois Billard made the call from the button before both players watched the flop come down {j-Spades}{2-Spades}{q-Hearts}.

Shemion threw out a continuation bet of 165,000 which was called before the {2-Diamonds} landed on the turn.

After thinking about his decision for a minute, Shemion reached for his chips, before betting out another 375,000 in chips. Billard took his time in making the call before the {q-Clubs} completed the board.

Shemion checked shortly after and Billard followed.

“Nine-high,” said Shemion, before tabling his {9-Spades}{5-Spades} for a missed flush draw.

Billard then tabled his {a-Spades}{j-Diamonds} for a higher two pair then on the table and took down the pot.

Vieira's Bluff Fails

Joao Vieira
Joao Vieira

Andrey Zaichenko opened for 125,000 from the button and Joao Vieira made the call in the big blind. Both players checked on {5-Spades}{10-Clubs}{9-Spades} and so the {5-Diamonds} was free of charge for both.

Vieira now lead for 165,000 and Zaichenko made the call. The river came the {Q-Clubs} and Vieira cut out 335,000 and slid them forward. Zaichenko needed just a little while before making up his mind and calling.

Vieira showed {6-Spades}{7-} for a missed gut shot. Zaichenko showed {K-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} and took it down.
