Cech Doubles-Up Trough Budac

Sava Krink

Level 32 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Vitezslav Cech moved all in from under the gun with his last 840,000 chips, and right after, Stepan Budac, still recovering from a big loss in the previous hand, re-shoved with 600,000 more chips. Dmitrij Fadeev took some time, and asked for a count, but eventually folded. It was time for a heads-up showdown.

Vitezslav Cech: A♥Q♣ All in
Stepan Budac: K♦Q♦

Budac needed to improve to knock out Cech, but the board ran out 2♥9♣6♦2♠6♣, offering no help. Cech secured the double-up, much to his relief, staying alive in the tournament.

Player	Chips	Progress
Vitezslav Cech	2,080,000 1,240,000	1,240,000
Stepan Budac	600,000 -1,390,000	-1,390,000

Everyone folded to Enrico Linke on the button, where he shoved for his last 2,170,000. Dmitrij Fadeev, sitting in the small blind, asked for a count before making the call, sending them to showdown.

Enrico Linke: Q♠10♣ All in
Dmitrij Fadeev: A♦10♦

With Fadeev holding the better hand, Linke needed help from the board, but it didn’t come. The 6♣5♣9♥5♠10♥ runout sealed his fate, and he was eliminated from the tournament.

Level 32 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Rostyslav Sabishchenko raised to 320,000 in the cutoff and saw Ferdinando Costagliola commit his 835,000 chips on the button. The action folded back to Sabishchenko, who made a quick call with the covering stack.

Ferdinando Costagliola: A♠K♦ All in
Rostyslav Sabishchenko: A♦J♣

Some chop outs appeared on the 9♣4♠4♣ flop, and the A♣ turn even gave Sabishchenko a flush draw. However, Costagliola's ace-king remained best on the 5♦ river, doubling him up.

Level 32 : 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Antonio Menga raised his button to 320,000 and was called by Alberto Speranzoni in the big blind. Speranzoni checked to Menga on the 2♠10♣8♥ flop, after which the latter jammed all in for 1,600,000.

Speranzoni spent some time in the tank but ultimately decided to make the call to put his opponent at risk.

Antonio Menga: A♠A♦ All in
Alberto Speranzoni: J♥10♦

Speranzoni failed to upgrade his pair of jacks on the 7♣ turn, and the A♣ river gave Menga trips to secure the double-up.
