Sturm's Two Pair is Best

Level 5 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Leon Sturm raised from early position to 8,500, which was call by Sam Greenwood in the cutoff, and the big blind Alex Foxen.

The flop came 7J7 and all three players checked to the 9 on the turn. Foxen then bet out 24,000, which Sturm called, and Greenwood folded.

After the K on the river, Foxen sized down to 12,000, and Sturm made the call. Foxen tabled AJ for two pair, jacks and sevens, but Sturm had the winner when he turned over J9 for two pair, jacks and nines.

Koon busted shortly after

Mullur Outflips Peters to Double

Level 4 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Samuel Mullur
Samuel Mullur

David Peters opened to 7,000 from under the gun and was called by Fedor Holz in middle position and Moonho Seo in the hijack. In the cutoff, Kazuyuki Tanemura three-bet to 35,000. Then, Samuel Mullur in the big blind announced all in for 281,500. Peters jammed for 391,500. Holz and Seo folded quickly before Tanemura requested a count and used a time bank before making a painful fold.

Samuel Mullur: QQ All in
David Peters: AK

It was the most classic of flips with the J105 flop giving Peters additional outs. However, the board ran out 42 and Mullur got the full double in the one of the largest pots of the day so far.

Action went three-ways to a flop of 5J6 in a three-bet pot between Masashi Oya who was under the gun, Santhosh Suvarna in the hijack, and John Pannucci in the big blind.

Pannucci led out with a bet of 70,000, Oya folded, and Suvarna made the call. On the 9 turn, Pannucci moved all in for 179,500, putting himself at risk. Suvarana thought for a moment before flicking in the call.
