Boghean Doubles Through Gold

Christian Zetzsche

Level 15 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

A bigger pot was brewing to the 7♣6♠2♦3♠A♣ river on which the shove by Andrei Boghean for 121,000 was eventually paid off by Jamie Gold. Boghean tabled his 5♠4♠ for a straight and Gold was visibly upset, flashing a set of treys.

"What do you think I have?" he bemoaned as his stack was cut into more than half.

Level 15 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Eyal Revah limped in from under the gun and both Olga Iermolcheva and Lewis Spencer limped behind from the button and small blind respectively. Garik Tamasian then three-bet to 35,000 from the big blind, only for Revah to four-bet to 75,000. Iermolcheva and Spencer got out of the way while Tamasian moved all in for 222,000.

Revah thought about his decision for about a minute before opting to fold and Tamasian took down a nice pot without having to see a flop.

Level 16 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Just before the start of the previous break, Pedro Padilha found himself all-in and at risk preflop with the K♣K♠ and he was in prime shape to double. Emmanouil Fountoulakis was pipped by a notch with the Q♠Q♣ and couldn't cause any upset on the J♥8♦6♦2♠7♦ runout.

Schonback Chops Then Busts to Kim

Christian Zetzsche

Level 16 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Jinwoo Kim raised to 16,000 and called the short-stacked shove by Schonback with the A♦Q♥. He was up against A♣2♠ and the 8♣5♣3♣5♠8♠ board brought an unlikely showdown.

One hand later, they got it in again as follows.

David Schonback: Q♣10♦
Jinwoo Kim: K♦J♠

Both players missed the 6♠3♦2♣9♦4♠ board once more, but this time the king played for Kim.

Kristen Foxen and Luis Dono were next to fall right after with the former mentioning she "busted two days in a row around 1 a.m. and got her money's worth".

Picone Chips Up; Salas Scores a Knockout

Christian Zetzsche

Level 16 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Vitor Dzivielevski raised to 16,000 and earned calls from Karen Nazarian as well as Igor Picone out of the blinds. They checked the J♠8♦5♦ flop and Nazarian bet the 4♥ turn for 20,000. Picone raised to 60,000 for Dzivielevski to fold and Nazarian reluctantly folded, too, with around 130,000 behind.

One hand later, Dzivielevski opened to 16,000 and Ori Eshel moved all-in for 122,000 in the very next seat. Damian Salas asked for a count and called, everyone else folded including Dzivielevski who exposed the A♥J♥.

Ori Eshel: J♣J♠
Damian Salas: A♣K♥

The K♦5♥2♠ flop left Eshel on thin ice. He found no escape on the 2♦ turn and 10♠ river to depart.

Nazarian was then eliminated by Jinhoon Lee and Aram Zobian vanished one table over.

Revah Back on Top after Massive Double

Ryan Lashmar

Level 16 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Garik Tamasian opened to 16,000 from the cutoff and Eyal Revah three-bet to 52,000 from the button. Tamasian four-bet shoved, covering Revah's remaining stack of 363,000 and Revah snap-called to put himself at risk in a pot worth nearly 1,000,000 chips.

Eyal Revah: K♥K♣
Garik Tamasian: 9♣9♥

The K♥10♣3♠ flop gave Revah top set leaving Tamasian with only runner outs to either quads or a straight. The 5♥ turn and 8♦ river changed nothing and Revah took down a colossal pot while making a serious dent in Tamasian's stack.

The Long Grind of Papadopoulos Ends Short of the Money

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Christian Zetzsche

Level 16 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Kyriakos Papadopoulos had been in the same seat all day long and saw his stack cut down very early on before he grinded it back up for hours. However, it all came to an end when he three-bet jammed with the J♠J♦ and Anatoly Filatov took the flip with A♦K♦.

The K♥5♥4♠4♦K♣ board improved Filatov to kings full of fours.

"I would have had to call, I had an weaker pair," initial preflop raiser Dylan Linde mentioned.
