Rudolph Runs Over Sivagnanam

Level 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Ratharam Sivagnanam open-jammed a stack of around 1,000,000 in the small blind and Christian Rudolph called in the big blind with a bigger stack.

Ratharam Sivagnanam: A6
Christian Rudolph: 108

The flop landed 49J to give Rudolph all kinds of outs and the 7 river had Sivagnanam drawing dead as Rudolph made a straight before the Q river confirmed Sivagnanam's elimination.

"Unlucky," commented someone at the table.

Wilkins Ousts Nolet

Level 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

The player under the gun raised to 250,000 only to see Guillaume Nolet jam a short stack from the small blind. Matthew Wilkins woke up with a hand in the big blind and jammed for a bit more. The under-the-gun player folded to set up a runout with Nolet at risk.

Guillaume Nolet: A9
Matthew Wilkins: JJ

The board ran out 2KJ73, leaving Nolet with just ace-high and sending him to the rail as Wilkins collected the pot.

Chuang Races to a Double

Level 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Hao Chuang was all in for 1,915,000 in the big blind and at risk against Junior Guelpa on the button.

Hao Chuang: JJ
Junior Guelpa: AK

The 1097 flop kept Chuang in front and the J turn just left him needing to fade a queen to stay alive. The 3 river changed absolutely nothing and Chuang secured the double.

Hajiyev Check-Raises Flop

Level 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Michael Huber raised from early position to 240,000 and got one caller in Ramin Hajiyev from the big blind before seeing the flop come 3KK.

Hajiyev checked his action to Huber who reached for chips and came out with a continuation bet worth 120,000. Hajiyev paused briefly before reaching into his own stack and coming out with a check-raise to 375,000.

Huber wasn't immediate in letting go of his cards but he did eventually decide to send them to the muck, allowing Hajiyev to take the pot down uncontested.

Sousa Wins Three-Way Check Fest

Level 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Rui Sousa raised to 250,000 from the hijack and found callers in both Pedro Garagnani from the cutoff and Ramin Hajiyev from the big blind before seeing the flop come A89.

All three players checked through to see the turn bring the 5, on which all three players checked through again.

The river peeled off the 6 and when all three players checked through for a third time, Sousa turned over the KK and got a quick fold from both his opponents before dragging in the pot.

Lebrun Doubles Through Zegal

Level 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Joseph Lebrun raised to 240,000 in the hijack and Stanislav Zegal three-bet to 800,000 in the cutoff. Action folded back to Lebrun who four-bet to 2,215,000 with only 325,000 behind.

Zegal reraised fairly quickly and Lebrun waited a bit with the possibility of a pay jump before he stuck in his remaining chips.

Joseph Lebrun: A5
Stanislav Zegal: KJ

The board ran out 764AQ and Lebrun locked up the double on the turn.

"He snap put me in," Lebrun said as he was surprised to have been slightly ahead preflop. "I wasn't ready for that... I was like what the f---, I'm dead."
