Shafikov Chips Up

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

Denys Shafikov raised to 25,000 and Bahram Chobineh called in the big blind. On a {A-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{3-Diamonds} flop, Chobineh checked and called a bet of 30,000 before the {10-Clubs} on the turn went check, check. On the {10-Diamonds} river, Chobineh bet 30,000 and Shafikov called to get shown {J-Hearts}{3-Hearts}, which he had beat with the {A-Hearts}{K-Spades}.

Shafikov then raised to 25,000 from the hijack and Joao Vieira three-bet all in for 146,000, which went through uncalled.

Last but not least, Cary Katz check-called a bet of 75,000 by Shafikov on the {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} river and mucked when he was shown the {K-Clubs}{10-Spades} for two pair by Shafikov.

Katz and Sammartino Double

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

On the flop of {Q-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{3-Hearts}, Cary Katz check-raised all in for his last 109,000 and Denys Shafikov called from one seat over in the under-the-gun position.

Cary Katz: {A-Spades}{Q-Hearts}
Denys Shafikov: {A-Hearts}{7-Hearts}

"You owe me one," Katz said, referring to the previous clash of the duo when Shafikov scored a lucky double. This time it was Katz that ended up on top with the blank {6-Clubs} turn and {2-Spades} river as final two cards.

Shortly after, Joao Vieira raised to 23,000 first to act and Dario Sammartino three-bet all in.

"How much is it?" Vieira asked and Sammartino confidently replied "less than 120," which prompted a call from Vieira.

Dario Sammartino: {9-Spades}{9-Clubs}
Joao Vieira: {A-Spades}{Q-Hearts}

Th {J-Spades}{9-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{K-Hearts} board gave Sammartino a set and he doubled for 119,000.

Boeree Chips Up Further

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Cary Katz had raised from the cutoff and picked up a single caller in Dario Sammartino out of the big blind. On the {A-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{K-Hearts} turn, Sammartino checked and called a bet of 40,000 by Katz. The {3-Diamonds} on the river was checked through and Sammartino announced a king, Katz immediately sighed.

Sammartino turned over his {K-Hearts}{J-Spades} and that won the pot.

Over on table one, Liv Boeree raised from early position and was called by Goran Mandic in the big blind. Mandic checked and called a continuation bet of 30,000 on a {9-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{6-Hearts} flop. The {4-Clubs} turn and {J-Clubs} river were checked and Mandic showed {A-Clubs}{8-Clubs} for ace-high and a busted straight draw. Boeree had {8-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} for the same straight draw and a turned pair of fours to drag in the pot.
