Albeck Hits a Boat on the River to Double

Tim Baker

Level 19 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Samuel Albeck and George Sandford limped in from late positions before Eran Carmi called from the small blind. Vivian Saliba checked out of the big blind and they went to the flop four-way.

Carmi led out for 15,000 on the 4♠6♣5♠ flop and only Albeck called.

Carmi bet 75,000 upon seeing the 7♣ hit the turn. Albeck shoved for 320,000 and after a few moments Carmi called.

Samuel Albeck: A♣Q♠6♥5♣ All in
Eran Carmi: J♣J♥7♠8♣

Albeck was ahead with two pair but Carmi had a lot of outs to double up. The 5♥ river wasn't one of those outs as Albeck improved to a full house, fives full of sixes to win the pot.

Level 19 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

In the 857th episode of the PokerNews Podcast, which is sponsored by PokerStars, Chad Holloway, Kyna England and Mike Holtz are back at Level 9 Studio in Las Vegas to talk about Daniel Negreanu's recent tweet from the Poker Masters criticizing an unknown player for their lackluster tip to a cocktail waitress. It got the poker world both talking and speculating.

From there, the crew looks at a wild rollercoaster hand with improbable river cards from Hustler Casino Live (HCL), which found itself with a big headache when its YouTube channel was suspended, as well as offer their thoughts on potential Women in Poker Hall of Fame candidates. In the realm of winners, Niklas "Lena900" Astedt won two PokerStars WCOOP titles in one hour, while the Poker Masters has crowned champs such as Spencer Champlin, Jeremy Becker, and Jonathan Little, just to name a few.

Finally, Chad offers his review of the poker movie Dead Money and sits down with high-stakes poker pro Alan Keating to talk about his cameo appearance and how he wound up becoming friends with the film's leading actor Emile Hirsch.

A new PokerNews Podcast will drop weekly every Friday at 8a PT / 11a ET / 4p UK time. Remember to subscribe to our YouTube channel so you do not miss an episode!

Daniel Smuskovics Eliminated in 21st Place (€4,335)

Level 19 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Vivian Saliba raised her button to 25,000 and Alen Sabic called in the small blind. Daniel Smuskovics then three-bet to 125,000 in the big blind.

Saliba pondered for some minutes before finding a fold, after which Sabic tossed in a quick call.

The flop fell 9♦Q♦2♥ and saw Sabic lead the pot. Smuskovics put in his stack of 350,000 and Sabic quickly called.

Daniel Smuskovics: A♥A♣K♣J♠ All in
Alen Sabic: Q♥9♥8♦6♣

Sabic had flopped two pair and a flush draw to take a big lead over Smuskovics' aces. The Q♠ turn improved him to a full house, and the 5♠ river could not bail Smuskovics out.

Smuskovics' dream of back-to-back final tables was crushed as he left the tournament area with a little more than the minimum cash. Sabic, meanwhile, increased his monstrous stack even more and ended up with around 130 big blinds.

Player	Chips	Progress
Alen Sabic	1,600,000 -70,000	-70,000
Vivian Saliba	200,000 36,000	36,000

Tim Baker

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Eran Carmi raised from the button to 30,000 and Alen Sabic three-bet out of the big blind to 96,000. Carmi potted it, and Sabic shoved. Carmi called and was at risk in a pot with over 1,000,000 in it.

Eran Carmi: A♣Q♠Q♣8♠ All in
Alen Sabic: A♥A♦4♦3♥

If Sabic could hold with his aces he would become one of the biggest stacks left in the tournament. However, the runout of 10♥9♠3♦Q♦9♦ gave Carmi the winner with a full house, queens full of nines.

Player	Chips	Progress
Alen Sabic	1,050,000 -290,000	-290,000
Eran Carmi	1,030,000 627,000	627,000

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Thomas Eychenne raised to 42,000 in the cutoff, leaving himself around 60,000 behind. The action folded to Eran Carmi in the big blind, who called to the 5♠5♣7♦ flop.

He then put Eychenne all-in, with the latter snap calling.

Thomas Eychenne: K♠K♥Q♣4♣ All in
Eran Carmi: A♥10♥8♠6♥

Eychenne's kings had to fade Carmi's straight outs, as well as an ace. However, the A♠ turn brought Carmi the better pair. The Q♥ river could not save Eychenne, who exited in 22nd.

Level 19 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Jari Mahonen raised to 30,000 from early position. Hokyiu Lee called in the hijack before Tamazi Skhirtladze three-bet to 138,000 from the cutoff. Mahonen called but Lee folded.

Mahonen shoved for 199,000 on the K♠A♠10♠ flop and Skhirtladze snap-called.

Jari Mahonen: A♦K♦J♠10♥ All in
Tamazi Skhirtladze: A♥A♣9♥4♦

Mahonen needed to find a queen to stay alive, but the 6♠ turn and 9♣ river kept Skhirtladze's set of aces in front and Mahonen was sent to the rail.

Level 19 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Catching the action on a flop of 3♠10♣8♣, there had been a massive pot of 205,000 chips built between Fahredin Mustafov in middle position and Levani Rozomashvili in the cutoff.

Mustafov then bet the pot, sending Rozomashvili into the tank. After several minutes, he announced his all-in and Mustafov snap called, covering Rozomashvili's stack of 330,000 by just 3,000.

Levani Rozomashvili: A♠A♥6♠4♦ All in
Fahredin Mustafov: A♦Q♣5♦3♣

Rozomashivili's aces were still ahead, and he made a straight on the 7♠5♠ runout to secure the monster pot.

A few hands later, Mustafov's final chips went in from under the gun. Rozomashvili then made it 38,000 to go in middle position and Alen Sabic called in the small blind.

Both players checked the 2♣Q♥10♥ flop before Sabic fired 35,000 on the 5♥ turn. Rozomashvili called to the 9♦ river, where he saw his opponent check.

Rozomashvili took the opportunity to bet 75,000 but was raised to 300,000 by Sabic. Rozomashvili instantly folded and Sabic turned over A♥A♣8♦2♥ for the nut flush.

Mustafov's A♠8♠7♠7♣ disappeared into the muck as he was the first player to depart from the final three tables.

Player	Chips	Progress
Alen Sabic	1,670,000 330,000	330,000
Levani Rozomashvili	690,000 270,000	270,000
