Szymanski Leads After Doubling

Frank Visser

Level 38 : Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante

Przemyslaw Szymanski raised to 1,400,000 under the gun and snap-called his stack of 15,800,000 off once Alberto Speranzoni three-bet all-in from the small blind.

Przemyslaw Szymanski: K♠K♦ All in
Alberto Speranzoni: J♠J♥

The 3♠A♥7♦4♣6♥ runout posed no threat to Szymanski's kings, seeing him receive a gigantic double-up and becoming the new chipleader.

Dmitrij Fadeev opened the action on the button with a raise to 1,125,000, holding J♠J♦. In the small blind, Alberto Speranzoni looked down at A♦8♣, checked Fadeev's stack, and decided to shove all in. Fadeev quickly called, and Speranzoni wasn't thrilled when the cards were revealed.

The flop changed everything as it came 5♠6♥7♣, giving Speranzoni an open-ended straight draw and a glimmer of hope.

The 5♥ on the turn didn’t help either player, but the river stunned the table as the 9♠ completed Speranzoni’s straight, sending Fadeev out in 5th place.

Level 37 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Rostyslav Sabishchenko raised to 1,000,000 in the cutoff. Przemyslaw Szymanski then jammed all in for 7,650,000 on the button before Fadeev reshoved in the big blind.

Sabishchenko quickly got out of the way as the other players tabled their cards.

Przemyslaw Szymanski: A♦Q♠ All in
Dmitrij Fadeev: K♥K♦

It was looking like Szymanski needed an ace to double up but instead he flopped two queens on Q♥Q♦8♣ for a massive lead.

The J♥ turn did bring Fadeev a much-needed king, and the Q♣ river granted Szymanski four of a kind to win the pot in style.

Level 37 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

In a blinds-versus-blinds showdown, Alberto Speranzoni shoved all in from the small blind with A♦10♣, putting Rostyslav Sabishchenko to the test. Sabishchenko, holding A♥2♦, made the call, hoping to double his 3,075,000 stack.

The flop came down Q♣2♥2♠, giving Sabishchenko trip deuces, and you could almost hear his sigh of relief.

Speranzoni was left needing a miracle on the turn to stay alive, but the 8♥ sealed his fate, leaving him drawing dead. Sabishchenko secured the double-up.

Level 37 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Przemyslaw Szymanski moved in for 4,200,000 in the small blind and was quickly called by chipleader Daniel Trunk.

Przemyslaw Szymanski: 7♠7♦ All in
Daniel Trunk: A♠5♣

No sweat for Szymanski, who had Trunk drawing dead once he turned a full house on the 7♣5♠10♣10♥K♥ board. He doubled up to 18 big blinds and put a small dent in Trunk's stack.

Level 37 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

Rostyslav Sabishchenko kicked off the action from under the gun, raising to 1,000,000 with K♣Q♠. The table folded around to Alberto Speranzoni in the big blind, who found A♥4♣ and opted to defend.

The flop came down A♣8♠Q♦, giving both players a piece of the board. Sabishchenko, holding second pair, took the lead with a bet of 500,000, and Speranzoni, with top pair, quickly called.

Both players checked the 10♦ on the turn.

On the 2♠ river, Speranzoni checked again, and Sabishchenko attempted to bluff with a bet of 1,000,000. After some consideration, Speranzoni, confidently saying, "I can beat king-queen," made the call and scooped the pot.

Level 36 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Daniel Trunk raised his button to 900,000 before Georg Strebel piled in his 3,500,000 remaining chips from the small blind.

Trunk instantly called once the action was back on him, putting Strebel at risk of being the next elimination.

Georg Strebel: A♦5♦ All in
Daniel Trunk: A♠K♥

The Q♥J♦Q♣ flop provided some chop outs, but the 10♥ turn left Strebel drawing to a straight to chop. The J♠ river did not bring it, however, seeing Trunk expand his lead with Broadway and sending Strebel out in sixth.
