Maxime Taldir

Level 17 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Aleksandr Zubov kept folding until he had one single blue chip worth 5,000 left. So when he found himself in the big blind, he was forced to go all in. He faced Timo Kamphues in the small blind.

Aleksandr Zubov: 9♦7♠ All in
Timo Kamphues: A♥A♠

Everybody laughed when Kamphues flipped over his cards. The German player even flopped a set on 2♠A♦6♠2♣7♦, leaving no chance for Zubov who was eliminated on the bubble.

Straight for Kenjic

Maxime Taldir

Level 17 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

After a several hands without any significant action, Roman Gadzhiev under the gun bet 150,000 on a flop of 5♣8♠8♥, then called when Jovan Kenjic check-raised to 400,000 from the big blind.

Kenjic continued for 550,000 on the 6♥ turn, and Gadzhiev quickly called to find the 7♣ river.

This time, Kenjic checked, and Gadzhiev seemed unhappy to check back. And his bad feeling was right, as Kenjic hit a straight on the river with 4♠3♠.
