Marjanovic Wins Battle of Big Stacks

Chris Bean

Level 30 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Rafi Elharar bet 325,000 from the small blind and was called by Adem Marjanovic in the big blind.

Both players checked the A♣10♦10♥ flop, but Elharar bet 250,000 on the 9♦ turn which was called by Marjanovic.

The 3♣ river appeared to be a massive brick and both players checked. Elharar turned over K♦7♦ for a missed flush draw, while Marjanovic tabled J♣9♥ for two pair to take the pot.

Rafi Elharar	5,925,000 -475,000	-475,000
Adem Marjanovic	4,300,000 595,000	595,000

Level 30 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Adem Marjanovic bet 230,000 from the button and was met with a shove from Barny Boatman in the small blind for 1,630,000. Marjanovic called without hesitation.

Barny Boatman: 9♣9♠
Adem Marjanovic: A♥K♥

A classic race and Marjanovic gained the nut flush draw after the flop of 8♥4♥4♣. But no further help came as the J♣6♠ completed the board to give Boatman the double up.

Level 30 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Before the blinds went up, Tobias Peters went for a stop and go against Daniel Koloszar when he defended the big blind against a min-raise. Peters then got the last 160,000 in after the 9♠3♠2♠ flop and was behind with 4♠4♣ versus A♦9♦.

"The spade is coming," Peters predicted.

Koloszar improved to trips on the 9♣ turn but the spade came with the Q♠ river.

Barny Boatman then min-raised to 200,000 and folded to a shove by Rafi Elharar.

Koloszar opened to 200,000 next and Peters three-bet the button with 100,000 behind. Koloszar jammed and Peters called all-in for 720,000.

Tobias Peters: A♣Q♦
Daniel Koloszar: J♠J♣

The flip went to the Dutchman thanks to the A♠10♣10♥9♠7♥ board.

"I like the start of this final table," Peters admitted with a big grin on the face after his second double-up in quick succession.

Rafi Elharar	6,400,000 45,000	45,000

Artsiom Panasiuk: 8♦7♦

With one table playing by far faster than the other, Tobias Peters, Adem Marjanovic and Jorge Ufano have called the clock on Artsiom Panasiuk numerous times to ensure a soft hand-for-hand mode is observed.

Marjanovic used this very slow period to rake in chips while Peters twice raised to 375,000 and preserved his short stack, showing the 10♥10♠ and the A♣.

Rafi Elharar	6,400,000 200,000	200,000

Level 29 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Rafi Elharar raised to 160,000 on the button for Barny Boatman to defend the big blind. They checked through the Q♥8♠2♣ flop and Boatman led the 4♠ turn for 160,000.

Elharar, rather swiftly, raised to 400,000. Boatman was sent into the tank for half a minute and folded.
