Sukhov Shoves the Turn

Level 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Yevhen Sukhov opened to 8,000 first-to-act and Uk Seong flatted from middle position for a heads-up pot.

Seong called a 5,000 bet from Sukhov on the 3A4 flop and then Sukhov announced he was all in for 33,500 after the 10 fell on the turn.

Seong asked for a count and went deep into the tank, but eventually decided to fold and Sukhov collected the pot without showing.

Zografakis Leaves Dirlewanger on the Ropes

Level 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

In a preflop contest, Emmanouil Zografakis was all-in for 62,500 with the AK and Leandro Dirlewanger had the inferior AQ. Zografakis cemented his lead on the AK7 flop but the J turn gave Dirlewanger some outs for the upset.

Nothing changed with the 2 river and Zografakis doubled in the last hand before the table broke.

Hadid Comes From Behind to Double Through Koplimaa

Level 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Abdellah Hadid shoved for his last 20,500 from under the gun and action folded to Markku Koplimaa in middle position, who also went all in for 43,500. Everyone else folded and a showdown was held.

Abdellah Hadid: A8
Markku Koplimaa: AQ

Hadid would need some help, which immediately came on the 865 flop.

The A turn and 9 river improved Hadid to two pair and he doubled up through Koplimaa.

Michaud Escapes Against Schneiders

Level 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Felix Schneiders min-raised just before the blinds went up and Clement Michaud then jammed from the next seat for 20,500. It folded back to Schneiders and he made the call.

Clement Michaud: KQ
Felix Schneiders: A9

The A63 left Michaud on the ropes but he pulled a miracle escape out of the hat thanks to the K turn and K river.

Zeiter Doubles Through Alt

Diego Zeiter
Diego Zeiter

Christopher Nguyen opened to 6,000 from middle position and was three-bet to 18,000 by Dinesh Alt in the hijack. Diego Zeiter then shoved for his last 51,500 from the big blind, which got a fold from Nguyen and a reluctant call from Alt to put Zeiter at risk.

Diego Zeiter: AQ
Dinesh Alt: K10

"I was worried I was dominated!" Alt said.

It didn't matter either way, as the 69Q25 runout kept Zeiter best with a pair of queens and he doubled up.
