Doubles in Order For Glushchenko, Garcia

David Salituro

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Diogo Ferreira raised to 30,000 from early position and was called by Teddy Kamel before big blind Nickolai Glushchenko moved all in for 131,000. Ferreira reshoved for around 350,000 and Kamel tanked for a moment before flashing the A♦ and folding.

Nickolai Glushchenko: A♠K♦
Diogo Ferreira: K♥Q♥

The 4♠3♠5♠J♣6♦ board didn't provide any help to Ferreira's dominated hand and Glushchenko, an online qualifier, earned a double up.

At the same time at another table, Carlos Garcia was all in for 117,000 and up against Alexander Delgado.

Carlos Garcia: K♦K♣
Alexander Delgado: A♥Q♣

The 3♦4♣7♥ flop was safe for Garcia, while he made top set on the K♠ turn and left Delgado drawing dead heading to the 6♠ river.

One player who was not so lucky was Tullio Bertoli, who was recently eliminated after running into the pocket kings of Jaskirat Singh Bindra.

Heads-up in a blind versus blind battle on a flop of 2♣K♥K♦, Antonio Pagliuca bet 17,000 and Vladyslav Ostapenko called in the small blind.

The turn came the 3♥ and Pagliuca bet another 50,000. Ostapenko again called and checked the Q♦ river.

Pagliuca checked back and Ostapenko showed him Q♣Q♠ for a rivered full house. Pagliuca turned over K♠J♠ to a round of "oohs" from around the table.

"How do you not bet the last card," tablemate Ariel Galactico asked him.

"I know. Two queens or two jacks," Pagliuca replied.
