McDouble

Level 27 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

Dominykas Karmazinas opened for 100,000 with a 1 million stack from middle position and Rui Sousa in the cutoff three bet to 250,000. Small blind Stuart McDonald cold four bet to 450,000 with 40,000 behind and the big blind and Karmazinas both folded. Sousa moved in and McDonald made the call for 40,000 more.

Rui Sousa: {K-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}
Stuart McDonald: {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}

"Nine in the window!" the just busted Jonathan Abdellatif shouted from the rail, cheering for his friend. It wouldn't come a nine, but it would stay safe for McDonald; {5-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{8-Spades}{J-Clubs}.

Juanda Risks Some for a Chop

Level 27 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

On a {J-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{2-Spades} flop it was Pascal LeFrancois who checked from the big blind to John Juanda who bet 100,000, and the Canadian called.

The turn was the {5-Diamonds} and both players opted to check.

After the river brought the {5-Hearts}, LeFrancois lead out for 290,000, and Juanda went into the tank.

About a minute went by, as Juanda analyzed the hand out loud, before the dropped in the chips for the call.

LeFrancois showed {A-Diamonds}{7-Spades} and Juanda claimed his half of the pot with {A-Spades}{9-Spades}.

Walker Doubles, Leaves Karmazinas Short

Level 27 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

Dominykas Karmazinas (hijack) and Chris Walker (small blind) got their chips in the middle before the flop. It was the well familiar classics race again:

Dominykas Karmazinas: {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}
Chris Walker: {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades}

The flop hit Walker with {K-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}, but Karmazinas hit some additional outs with the {J-Clubs} on the turn. The river {K-Clubs} wasn't the card where Karmazinas was looking for, and "Domcee" was knocked down to the shortest stack in the room after having to forfeit 660,000 of his chips.

Pascal Lefrancois: {K-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}

The board ran out {10-Spades}{2-Hearts}{3-Spades}{K-Hearts}{A-Clubs} and Karmazinas, who after the turn had already gotten up, sat down again.

Two hands later action folded around to him in the small blind and he moved in for 465,000. Big blind Pascal Lefrancois instantly called.

Dominykas Karmazinas: {K-Spades}{5-Spades}
Pascal Lefrancois: {A-Spades}{10-Clubs}

Touma Doubles Voronin

Level 27 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

We caught the last part of a hand where Roman Voronin doubled through Amir Touma. The board read {8-Spades}{J-Clubs}{10-Clubs} and Voronin had all of his 535,000 chips in the middle with {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}. Touma had {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs} and was trailing. The {J-Diamonds} on the turn gave Touma additional outs, but the {5-Spades} on the river wasn't one of them. Double up for Voronin!

A Much Needed Pot for Khoroshenin

Level 27 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

From the button Oleksii Khoroshenin raised to 100,000 and Sebastian Tejada called from the small blind. The flop came down {A-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} and Tejada check-called 125,000.

On the turn the {6-Clubs} hit and both players checked.

The river was the {2-Hearts} and Khoroshenin fired another 340,000 when Tejada checked to him. After a while Tejada folded and Khoroshenin raked in the pot, after having lost quite a bit in this level early on.

Jensen Triple Barrels Chips Away

Level 27 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

As we arrived the flop was already out: {3-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{K-Diamonds}. Mario Sanchez Cano checked from the big blind and Frederik Jensen bet out 140,000 from the cutoff. Steven Warburton on the button made the call, Cano folded. Jensen bet another 270,000 on the {6-Hearts} turn and Warburton again called.

So far the hand had gone remarkably fast, but Warburton needed some more time on the {A-Clubs} river. Jensen fired a third bullet worth 575,000 and Warburton sighed a little and leaned back. He tanked for some time before tossing in a single 5,000 chip to call.

Jensen quickly showed {5-Hearts}{J-Hearts} for nothing, Warburton tabled {A-Spades}{Q-Hearts} for the winner.
