Robinson Puts Max Pressure on Stankov

Yori Epskamp

Level 31 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Vitalijs Zavorotnijs raised to 400,000 from under the gun, Ivan Stankov called in middle position, and Colin Robinson called from the big blind. The flop was 10♦9♦7♣ and Robinson and Zavorotnijs checked. Stankov bet 400,000, Robinson called, and Zavorotnijs folded.

The Q♥ on the turn brought the fireworks. Robinson checked, Stankov bet 1,400,000, and Robinson responded with a big check-raise all in. It was effectively for Stankov's remaining stack of nearly 6,000,000.

The usually very stoic Stankov seemed taken aback by the shove, and his expressionless face changed. He agonized over his decision for the better part of five minutes but ultimately decided to go with the fold.

While the turn peeled off the A♠, Park fired for 1,250,000. Shaw found the call.

The river was the 10♠ and Park moved all in for around 4,000,000. Shaw went into the tank but made the fold.

Ky Nguyen Eliminated in 10th Place ($48,703)

Yori Epskamp

Level 31 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Ky Nguyen shoved all in for 2,510,000 from early position and Gonzalo Almada came over the top from middle position.

Ky Nguyen: A♠Q♥ All in
Gonzalo Almada: A♦A♥

The 8♦8♠3♠ flop was innocuous enough but the 9♠ turn brought a little sweat for Almada and his Argentinian rail. The river 10♣ bricked for Nguyen, and he left the table flanked by a loud "Vamo!" from Almada's fans.
