Two Pair for Poddubnii

Maxime Taldir

Level 30 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

On a flop of 3♠8♥4♣, Artiom Poddubnii check-raised to 1,075,000 from the big blind. Levan Rcheulishvili called in middle position to find the K♦ on the turn.

Both players decided to check on this card and moved on to the river A♠. Poddubnii checked, and Rcheulishvili bet 500,000. But again, Poddubnii checked-raised, this time for all his 2,575,000 chips. Rcheulishvili seemed desperate, but called.

Artiom Poddubnii: K♠8♣
Levan Rcheulishvili: Q♦Q♠

Poddubnii hit a pair on the flop and a second one on the turn to beat Rcheulishvili's queens and double up.

Ihar Khursin moved all in from the cutoff for 3,300,000 and Sabri Neziri re-shoved from the button with a covering stack, folding out all other players to put Khursin at risk.

Ihar Khursin: A♣8♣
Sabri Neziri: Q♣Q♦

The board ran out K♦A♥J♣2♥3♥. Khursin had flopped top pair and remained ahead until the river, allowing him to collect a full double up at Neziri's expense.

Level 30 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Daniel Lehmann raised to 500,000 and Francis Klar pushed all-in for 2,050,000 on the button, which the Norwegian called rather swiftly within a few seconds.

Francis Klar: A♣10♥
Daniel Lehmann: 10♦9♦

"We need a nine," Lehmann told a friend on the rail. Until the 10♠6♠5♦A♦ turn, the nine was no good anymore as Lehmann instead had to hit a diamond. That didn't come on the 3♠ river and Klar doubled.

Martynas Brazdžionis: Q♠Q♦
Jamel Ghizaoui: 5♠5♦

On 9♠7♦7♠2♣K♠, Brazdžionis kept the lead and doubled up. Down to 17,500,000 chips, Ghizaoui took a pot with top pair against Alberto Cigliano on the next hand and won almost every chips he lost.

Levan Rcheulishvili opened from middle position, and he was called by Sabri Neziri in the cutoff, and by Aleksej Grenz and Michele Tocci in the blinds.

On the flop 8♠K♣4♠, Rcheulishvili made a continuation bet of 625,000, but only Grenz called.

Then Rcheulishvili fired a second barrel of 975,000 on the turn 5♥. Grenz quickly check-called again.

The 10♠ came on the river, and Grenz took the lead, betting 1,500,000 with 7♣7♥. Rcheulishvili went into the tank, but eventually called with K♣4♠ for top pair and won the pot.
