Vlasenko Finds a Double

Level 8 : 400/800, 100 ante

In a three-way three-bet pot for 5,500 apiece, Salvatore Candido Graziano in the big blind, Bradley Marsh from early position and Preben Stokkan in the cutoff ended up checking down a board of {9-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}. Graziano showed the {A-Hearts}{K-Spades}, Marsh the {7-Diamonds}{7-Spades} and Stokkan won the pot with {A-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}.

One hand later, Ema Zajmovic raised to 1,500 on the button and short stack Martin Jacobson defended the big blind. On a flop of {A-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{9-Hearts}, Jacobson checked and folded once Zajmovic had fired a bet worth 1,200.

Last but not least, Graziano raised to 1,600 a few hands later, in the new level already, and called the shove of short stack Andrey Vlasenko for 7,500.

Andrey Vlasenko: {A-Hearts}{A-Clubs}
Salvatore Candido Graziano: {A-Spades}{J-Diamonds}

The board came {Q-Spades}{J-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{7-Spades} and Vlasenko kept his hopes alive. Below are also the updated counts for Dan Smith and Daniel Dvoress, who share the same table.
