Istomin Busts Speranza; MacIntyre Takes from Huntly

Level 9 : 1,600/3,200, 400 ante

Aleksei Istomin raised to 6,500 and called the shove of Simone Speranza for 38,900.

Aleksei Istomin: {A-Spades}{10-Spades}
Simone Speranza: {J-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}

The board ran out {K-Hearts}{J-Spades}{7-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} and Istomin turned the nut straight to bust Speranza.

In the last hand of the level, Gordon Huntly and Fraser MacIntyre saw the {A-Spades}{Q-Spades}{6-Spades}{3-Clubs} turn and Huntly bet 21,000 in the small blind. MacIntyre called from early position and did so again for 35,000 on the {5-Diamonds} river. Huntly showed {A-Hearts}{Q-Clubs} for top two, but MacIntyre had that beat with {3-Spades}{3-Hearts} for a turned set.

"That's not good for the Scottish relationship," MacIntyre joked to his fellow countryman.
