Mrakes Wins From Ruzicka

Level 8 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

After Kalidou Sow had raised from under the gun, Michal Mrakes called from the cutoff and Vojtech Ruzicka defended the big blind to see the {6-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{7-Clubs} flop appear. Both Ruzicka and Sow checked to Mrakes, who bet 5,000. Both players called the bet.

After the {4-Spades} turn got checked around, the {9-Diamonds} landed on the river. Ruzicka bet 13,400, Sow folded, and Mrakes called instantly. Ruzicka showed {K-Spades}{8-Diamonds} for a busted straight draw and Mrakes won with {Q-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}.

Hata Ousted Early On

Level 8 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Nico Prokic opened from under the gun and Aymon Hata flat-called on the button. The flop came {a-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{4-Clubs} and Prokic checked to Hata who bet 2,600. Prokic check-raised to 7,400 and Hata called.

The turn brought the {j-Spades} and Prokic led out for 12,000. Hata still called and the {8-Hearts} completed the board on the river. Prokic announced all in and Hata was left with a decision for his remaining 37,500 chips. Hata went into the tank for nearly three minutes before making the call. Prokic turned over {k-Spades}{q-Hearts} for Broadway while Hata could only muster two pair with {a-Spades}{10-Spades}.

Geshkenbein Takes From Aldemir

Level 8 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

A substantial pot had already built with the completed board showing {A-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{J-Spades}{3-Hearts} and Koray Aldemir checked over to Vladimir Geshkenbein on a table filled with notables. Geshkenbein made it 31,700 to go and Aldemir reluctantly called, then mucked when he was shown the {A-Spades}{K-Clubs} for top pair and top kicker.

Set for Kaneoya Pays Off

Level 8 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

The flop read {9-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{4-Clubs} and both Renato Kaneoya and Gal Yifrach each stuck in around 20,000 to see the {j-Hearts} on the turn. Kaneoya led out with a bet of 38,000 from early position and Yifrach called just a couple of seats over.

The river was the {k-Spades} and Kaneoya opted to check this time. It didn't take long for Yifrach to knuckle the table as well and Kaneoya turned over {7-Spades}{7-Hearts} for a set of sevens. Yifrach sent his cards to the muck and Kaneoya raked in the pot.
