Chips Continue to Fly

Level 27 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Picking up the action on the other table, a completed board read {k-Clubs}{8-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{3-Spades} with a little over 1,000,000 chips already in the pot. Sebastian Ulrich checked from the cutoff and Timur Margolin shoved all in. Ulrich was left with a decision for his remaining 1,005,000 chips.

He thought for a couple of minutes and eventually made the call. Margolin turned over {9-Clubs}{7-Clubs} for a missed straight and flush draw while Ulrich called with {a-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}. Ulrich scored himself a full double up and his table talk ensued.

"I only called because it's you. You are capable of bluffing there. That's a compliment," Ulrich said. "I would never call that guy," pointing to Mykhailo Gutyi.

Double Up for Begovic

Level 27 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

The cards were already on their backs when Dhawal Lachhwani had {A-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs} laying in front of him. Amar Begovic had {9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}.

The board was {j-Spades}{10-Spades}{9-Clubs}{9-Spades}{8-Clubs}. Lachhwani managed to hit his straight, but that was not enough against the rivered full house of Begovic who doubled up to nearly two million.

Mrakes Gets Sneaky

Level 27 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Dhawal Lachhwani raised to 125,000 from under the gun and Michal Mrakes just called from the big blind. The flop came {k-Clubs}{6-Spades}{2-Hearts} and both players checked to the {9-Clubs} on the turn.

Mrakes led out for 175,000 and Lachhwani called to see the {a-Diamonds} on the river. Mrakes pushed in a big bet of 475,000 and Lachhwani wasted little time before making the call. Mrakes turned over {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds} for a set of kings and Lachhwani mucked his cards.
