Romanov Four-Bets into Denisov

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Blinds are getting chunky now and many players are sat on 20-30 big blinds. One of those was Igor Romanov, who opened in early position just now. He made it 7,500 and Aleksandr Denisov clicked to 11,500. Everyone else got out of the way and Romanov was quick to four-bet all-in. Denisov asked for a count but decided the price was too high and passed.

All the money went in preflop between Dmitriy Zhdanov and Yaniv Peretz and it was a classic flip with Zhadanov the one whose tournament life was on the line.

Yaniv Peretz: {a-Clubs}{9-Spades}
Dmitriy Zhdanov: {6-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}

Peretz connected on the {10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{q-Spades} flop and Zhadanov couldn't recover on the {8-Hearts} turn or the {4-Clubs} river. He finished in 26th place.

Bargatov Barrels into Denisov

Level 13 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Aleksandr Denisov has dropped somewhat in the last couple of levels, most recently he lost a pot against Petr Bartagov.

Bargatov opened the betting to 6,000 and Denisov defended his big blind before the two went to the flop. It came down {4-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{9-Clubs} and Denisov check-called Bargatov's 4,000 continuation. On the {q-Clubs} turn, he checked again and asked to see how much Bargatov was playing behind, before calling the 13,000 bet.

When the {k-Hearts} landed on the river, Denisov checked for the last time and made a quick fold when Bargatov bet 34,500 all-in. He is still in good shape with more than one and a half times average, while Bargatov took the much-needed pot.

Dmitry Yurasov
Dmitry Yurasov

Dmitry Yurasov and Sergey Petrushevskiy have been moved but are still sat next to each other on their new table. Now though, it's Yurasov who has position.

Just now, Petrushevskiy opted to limp and Yurasov upped it four times, to 10,000. Petrushevskiy made the call and they went heads up to the flop.

It fell {6-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{6-Clubs} and Petrushevskiy check called Yurasov's small 6,000 continuation. On the {j-Hearts} turn, Petrushevskiy checked and then tank-folded to the 16,000 barrel, leaving Yurasov to take the chips.

Three Way All-in Sees Gadzhiev Eliminated

Level 13 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Three players got all their chips in on the turn on a draw-heavy {10-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} board.

Andrey Chernokoz: {k-Hearts}{k-Spades}
German Sakavichyus: {a-Clubs}{9-Clubs}
Roman Gadzhiev: {j-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}

Andrey Chernokoz had top set but he had to dodge a lot of outs in order to win the hand. The {2-Spades} river was a brick and Chernokoz eliminated Roman Gadzhiev, whereas German Sakavichyus was left extremely short.

Petrushevskiy Takes From Yurasov

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

The two experienced players are sat next to each other and they are involved in a pot on the flop. With a little over 30,000 in the middle, the action is on the turn and the board is showing {10-Spades}{2-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{2-Spades}.

Sergey Petrushevskiy bets 13,000 and Dmitry Yurasov calls. The river is the {9-Clubs}. Petrushevskiy doesn't bet again and Yurasov checks it back. Petrushevkiy tables {q-Hearts}{10-Hearts} for two pair tens and deuces and Yurasov shows {a-Spades}{3-Spades} for a pair of deuces with the flush and inside straight draws.
