Sultanem Wakes Up With Kings; Bernard Busts on the River

David Salituro

Level 24 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Thomas Foertsch raised to 50,000 under the gun before Georges Sultanem moved all in for 315,000 next to act. The table folded back to Foertsch, who tanked for a minute before calling.

Georges Sultanem: K♦K♣
Thomas Foertsch: 10♦10♥

Sultanem was far ahead with his kings, and Foertsch found no help on the J♥7♣J♣4♣8♦ board as Sultanem doubled up. Henning Wendlandt is also at this table with a stack of around 1,700,000.

At the same time at another table, Jensen Bernard moved all in for 250,000 and was called by Darius Samual.

Jensen Bernard: A♦K♣
Darius Samual: A♠Q♦

Bernard had Samual dominated and stayed in front as both players made top pair on the A♣5♠4♥9♥ board, but the Q♣ river improved Samual to two pair and sent Bernard crashing out of the tournament.

Level 24 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Hyun Sup Kim was all in for around 250,000 from the cutoff and up against Davide Quadri in early position.

Hyun Sup Kim: A♠A♥
Davide Quadri: J♥J♠

Kim was ahead with his pair of aces and poised for a double up, but Quadri spiked the J♣ on the flop to make a set. The rest of the board came 3♠5♥9♦6♦ and Kim was sent to the rail thanks to his cracked aces.

Firat Aktag: A♠J♦
Andrej Desset: A♦Q♠

Desset had Aktag dominated, and the at-risk player could find no assistance on the 10♥9♠5♠3♣6♠ runout and was eliminated.

Level 24 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Iman Ghashayar moved all in for 350,000 in early position and Ioannis Temekonidis called in the hijack.

Iman Ghashayar: 7♦7♥
Ioannis Temekonidis: A♠K♠

Ghashayar needed to win the flip to survive, but the flop came A♥6♠3♣ and Temekonidis hit his ace to take the lead.

Ghashayar was already storming out of his seat by the time the Q♠ turn and 5♣ river came to seal his elimination.

Jareth East, Shawn Stroke, and Gab Yong Kim are also at this table.

Level 24 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Heads-up on a flop of K♠10♣Q♠, Roland Israelashvili bet 100,000 from under the gun and Jaroslav Polak raised to 200,000 in the big blind.

Israelashvili then splashed in 450,000 and Polak called. The turn came the 6♠ and Israelashvili got his last 30,000 in the middle.

Polak revealed 10♦10♠ for a set of tens, but Israelashvili showed Q♦Q♥ as Polak let out a loud groan. The river was the 4♥ and Israelashvili doubled up.
