David Salituro

Level 4 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

In a blind versus blind battle, Joachim Haraldstad bet 52,000 from the small blind on a board of 9♣2♥3♣6♠, Hans Thumann moved all in, and Haraldstad called for 110,000.

Haraldstad had 10♦8♣7♦5♣ for straight and flush draws, while Thumann showed K♦9♦6♦2♦ for two pair. The river K♥ missed Haraldstad as Thumann ended up with kings and nines to win the pot and send Haraldstad to the rail.

With around 50,000 in the pot on a flop of K♦2♥4♥, Amir Mozaffarian bet 25,000 from the cutoff and Farid Jattin potted in middle position. Mozaffarian then moved all in and Jattin committed his last 130,000.

Level 4 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Stanislau Melhui raised to 10,500 on the button and Burak Simsek reraised to 38,000 in the small blind. Melhui called and the flop came Q♦9♠3♦.

Simsek then bet 85,000, Melhui moved all in, and Simsek snap-called for around 30,000 more.

Burak Simsek: A♦A♥K♠Q♠ All in
Stanislau Melhui: A♠Q♣J♠9♥

Melhui had flopped two pair to take the lead over Simsek's aces as the 6♠ fell on the turn. The river was the 5♠ and Simsek clapped his hands together in celebration after hitting a flush, but Melhui pointed out he had the nut flush to send Simsek to the rail.

Level 3 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Jaagup Luhakooder bet 3,500 from the cutoff on a flop of 4♦8♠4♥ and Imad Derwiche raised to 18,000 in the small blind. Aku Joentausta called in the big blind, as did Luhakooder called.

Action checked to Luhakooder on the 7♥ turn and he bet 31,000. Only Derwiche called to the 9♠ river, where Luhakooder moved all in for 85,000.

"Will you show if I fold?" Derwiche asked.

"One card," Luhakooder replied.

Derwiche eventually mucked 8♦4♣ for a flopped full house and Luhakooder allowed him to pick one of his cards. Derwiche picked the 8♥. "Show two," Derwiche pleaded, but Luhakooder returned the rest of his cards face down.

Level 3 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Georgios Tsoupras recently emerged from the bar holding a pastry with candles stuck in it as he led the room in singing Happy Birthday to the dealer at his table.

Tsoupras then raised to 7,000 under the gun and Hans Thumann called in the hijack. Vladislavs Petrovs reraised to 32,000 in the cutoff and both opponents called.

Petrovs bet 30,000 on the A♦J♣3♥ flop, Tsoupras moved all in for 55,000, and Thumann got out of the way while Petrovs snap-called.

Georgios Tsoupras: A♥K♥7♣5♣ All in
Vladislavs Petrovs: A♠A♣J♦6♣

Tsoupras was far behind Petrovs' top set as the 2♠ turn gave him outs to a straight. The 4♣ river completed his straight and Petrovs angrily flung the chips across the table as he surrendered the pot.
