Level 29 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Martynas Brazdžionis opened to 400,000 from the cutoff and Sokratis Linaras three-bet to 1,000,000 from the cutoff. Marius Gicovanu moved all in from the small blind for 3,900,000 and Brazdžionis re-shoved for approximately 5,500,000. Linaras got out of the way leaving Gicovanu all in and at risk.

Marius Gicovanu: 10♣10♥
Martynas Brazdžionis: A♦K♥

The board ran out 4♣Q♦3♠3♣Q♠. Gicovanu's pocket-tens held and he collected a gargantuan pot while making a serious dent in the stack of Brazdžionis.

An exasperated Linaras told his tablemates after the hand that he had folded pocket-jacks which would have been good for a pot worth over 12,000,000 had he called.

Player	Chips	Progress
Marius Gicovanu	8,200,000 4,470,000	4,470,000

Lazare Kalebashvili had defended the big blind and check-called a bet of 625,000 on the J♦5♦2♣J♠ turn. He checked again on the 7♦ river and Zlatin Penev then moved all-in for 2,080,000.

Kalebashvili asked for an exact count but folded to see his opponent pull ahead on the leaderboard.

Level 29 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

On the tail end of a J♥J♠7♠6♠10♠ board, Artiom Poddubnii over-bet jammed into Martynas Brazdžionis. The latter had fewer than ten big blinds behind and eventually called. Poddubnii tabled the J♣2♣ for trips jacks but Brazdžionis had that beat with 8♠2♦ for a flush to double for 1,855,000.

Eljach Semi-Coolers Lamprea

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Ryan Lashmar

Level 29 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Juan Lamprea opened to 400,000 from the cutoff and Omar Eljach moved all in from the small blind for 4,350,000. Lamprea, who had slightly under 4,000,000, considered his options for a couple minutes before Eljach called the clock. As soon as the clock was called Lamprea immediately called, putting himself at risk.

Juan Lamprea: A♦K♣
Omar Eljach: A♣10♦

Lamprea was in excellent shape to collect a massive double up and remained ahead on the A♠Q♠9♠ flop. The J♣ turn brought Eljach some more outs in the form of an open-ended straight draw, which came in on the 8♣ river. Lamprea was sent to the rail while Eljach collected a colossal double up.

"Cooler" a player at the table commented.

"Semi-Cooler" Eljach joked as he scooped the pot.
