Astedt Doubles Up with Aces

Maxime Taldir

Level 30 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Stephen Song in the hijack opened to 300,000, then Niklas Astedt in the cutoff three-bet to 800,000. The button and the blinds folded, and Song decided to four-bet all-in. Astedt looked at his cards and snap-called.

Niklas Astedt: A♥A♣ All in
Stephen Song: A♠3♠

Even if he had aces, Astedt was not guaranteed to win as the flop of J♠8♠10♣ gave a flush draw to Song. The 2♣ turn didn't change anything, and Astedt was able to double his 6,100,000 chip stack after the 9♣ river.

Level 29 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Jordan Griff raised to 300,000 and Ciaran McCullagh then pushed all-in from the button for around 2,200,000. Russell Rosenblum in the big blind asked for a count and then went all-in over the top to force out Griff.

Ciaran McCullagh: A♥Q♦ All in
Russell Rosenblum: A♦K♥

In the previous all-in showdown on their table, Rosenblum had come from behind in the same scenario when he was at risk and history seemingly repeated itself on the Q♥6♠3♦ flop. However, the K♦ turn repeated the preflop order and Rosenblum further improved to trips with the K♣ river to send McCullagh to the rail.

Russell Rosenblum	10,550,000 3,050,000	3,050,000

Kevin Davis opened to 350,000 on the button and Tomas Szwarcberg called out of the small blind.

Szwarcberg checked on the flop of 9♥J♠9♣ and Davis continued for 300,000. Szwarcberg called.

Szwarcberg then bet 250,000 on the 9♦ turn and Davis called. The A♥ river completed the board and Szwarcberg put out a bet of around 2,700,000. Davis quickly folded Q♥J♥ face-up.

Over on the right hand feature table, Nicholas Howard in the big blind got his short stack of 2,900,000 in and he was up against Adrian Lopez on the button.

Nicholas Howard: A♦2♥ All in .
Adrian Lopez: A♠J♦

The J♠7♣6♠ flop left Howard on the ropes and the 8♥ turn sealed his fate, which made the 2♣ river a formality.

Level 29 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Justin Vaysman opened to 300,000 on the button and Aliaksandr Shylko defended his big blind.

Shylko checked on the flop of 6♣9♠8♥ and Vaysman continued for 650,000. Shylko called. Shylko checked on the 6♥ turn and Vaysman checked back.

The 5♥ river completed the board and Shylko looked up from his back massage and slid out a bet of 1,200,000. Vaysman went in the tank before raising to 4,200,000 to bring a quick fold from Shylko.

Level 29 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Arthur Morris raised to 300,000 under the gun before Russell Rosenblum reraised to 3,700,000 in the cutoff, leaving 125,000 behind. "I'm going to jam, I'm just doing this for you to make the pay jump," Morris said.

He eventually moved all in and Rosenblum tanked for several minutes as he waited for someone to bust on another table. He finally heard the shout of "payout" and committed his last chips.

Russell Rosenblum: A♠Q♠ All in
Arthur Morris: A♥K♣

Rosenblum was dominated by Morris until the flop brought Q♦8♥6♦, giving him the lead with a pair of queens. The rest of the board ran out 6♣7♣ and Rosenblum doubled up, leaving Morris on a short stack.

Kai Cocklin

Level 29 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Brian Rast opened the button to 300,000 and Bruno Porto called from the big blind.

They both saw a flop of K♣6♦Q♥ which Porto checked, Rast bet 275,000, and Porto check-raised to 725,000. Rast had another bet up his sleeve as he min-raised to 1,175,000, which Porto eventually called.

A 3♦ fell on the turn and after Porto checked, Rast gathered the remainder of his chips into a single stack and put it into the pot. The bet was 1,650,000 and Porto appeared to have just over that in his stack. It took around six minutes before Porto finally made up his mind and decided to call.

Brian Rast: K♦9♣ All in
Bruno Porto: 7♠6♠

Porto needed some help on the river but the 5♠ wasn't what he was looking for, which meant Rast doubled up. Brazil's Porto thought he was eliminated but once the stacks were counted down, he learned that he had around 450,000 chips remaining.

Level 29 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Heads-up on a board of J♥10♠J♠7♠ with several hundred thousand already in the middle, Sami Bechahed checked from the big blind to Luis Vazquez, who bet 250,000. Bechahed check-raised to 625,000 and Vazquez called.

The Q♦ completed the board and Bechahed fired 2,600,000 into the middle. Vazquez didn't take long to shove for 4,825,000 total and Bechahed called.

Vazquez turned over 9♠8♠ for a straight flush, and a flabbergasted Bechahed showed he held J♦7♦ for jacks-full of sevens.

"Let me get a picture of this," Bechahed requested before the dealer scooped up all the cards.

Level 29 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Nazar Buhaiov moved all in for 950,000 in middle position as his supporters on the rail began howling. Stephen Song called in the hijack, while the rest of the table got out of the way.

Nazar Buhaiov: 2♣2♠ All in
Stephen Song: A♥K♥

"Deuces never lose," Buhaiov's rail shouted when the cards were revealed. The 10♠8♥4♣ flop kept him in the lead, while the turn was the J♠. The river, though, was the Q♦ and Song made a straight to win the pot and send Buhaiov to the exit.

"Sorry, guys," Song said to Buhaiov's rail.

Level 29 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Charles Russell opened from early position and Adrian Garcia called on the button.

Russell continued for 500,000 on the flop of 10♠8♥5♣ and Garcia called. Russell sized up to 1,200,000 on the K♦ turn and Garcia again called.

The 8♠ river completed the board and Russell counted out a bet of 5,500,000 to put Garcia all in for around the same amount. Garcia quickly called.

Russell showed A♦10♦ for tens and eights, which was good to beat the 7♥7♠ of Garcia as he hit the rail.
