Golob the "Lucky One"

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

After a preflop raise to Bahram Chobineh and the call of Christian Golob, the action was checked to the Austrian on a flop of {4-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds}. Golob moved all in to put his opponent at risk and Chobineh called for his last 19,075 with {Q-Clubs} {Q-Clubs}.

Golob only had the {A-Spades} {K-Diamonds} for two over cards and a backdoor diamond draw. The {6-Spades} spade killed the additional outs, but the dealer then flipped over the {K-Spades} river to improve Golob's hand. "Sorry, I am the lucky one," the Austrian said to his opponent before stacking the chips.

Greenwood Shoves into Cimbolas

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

The {Q-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds} {2-Clubs} {5-Spades} {A-Clubs} board was already complete when Matas Cimbolas said to Sam Greenwood: "You don't have to go all in," before the Canadian did exactly that. The pot was around 8,000 chips and Cimbolas had 6,075 to call. "I knew it," the Lithuanian said with a smirk on the face before releasing his cards into the muck after some consideration.

Chafak & Van Hoof at It Again

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

With around 2,500 in the pot and a board reading {8-Spades}{10-Spades}{3-Spades}{k-Diamonds}, Miss Finland Sara Chafak checked from early position and Jorryt van Hoof bet 2,500 from middle position. Chafak then splashed 4,500 into the pot, and the dealer informed her that to be a legal raise she needed to make it 5,000. She promptly tossed in another purple T500 chip. Van Hoof made the call, and the duo watched the {K-Spades} pair and four-flush the board.

Chafak checked, and Van Hoof paused for a moment before moving all in for 11,000. Chafak thought about it for nearly 90 seconds, but then slowly slid her cards to the dealer.
