Sixes Are Good for Chouity

Sami Kelopuro opened for 95,000 but Nicolas Chouity made it 240,000 to go. After a while Kelopuro called.

They saw a {4-Diamonds} {10-Hearts} {4-Clubs} flop and Kelopuro checked. Chouity bet 325,000 and Kelopuro called, bumping the pot up to 1.2 million. Intriguing.

They saw a {10-Diamonds} turn but this time time both players checked, and indeed they checked down the {3-Diamonds} river too. Chouity tabled {6-Clubs} {6-Spades} and following a muck from Kelopuro, Chouity cried, "Yes!" and celebrated with a little fist pump.

Rugini Doubles Through Saizu

Rugini - double up
Rugini - double up
First hand back and Claudiu Saizu opened for 97,000, then called instantly when Emanuele Rugini pushed for 826,000 from the small blind. On their backs.

Rugini: {Q-Spades} {Q-Diamonds}
Saizu: {A-Hearts} {A-Diamonds}

Board: bink! {Q-Hearts} {6-Clubs} {8-Diamonds} {5-Clubs} {2-Spades}

Rugini's set of queens doubled him up to 1,720,000. The Romanian was left with just 126,000 and will need some serious help if he's not going to crash out of this tournament soon...

Saizu Doubles Through Kelopuro This Time

A hand or two later and Sami Kelopuro made a raise of 70,000 which Nicolas Chouity called behind. Claudiu Saizu shoved from the button, and immediately ordered Chouity, who seemed just to be telling Kelopuro the action so far (ie. that he had called and Saizu had shoved) not to speak to Kelopuro. Either way, the action was back on Kelopuro, who reraised. Chouity folded and they were on their backs.

Saizu: {5-Clubs} {5-Spades}
Kelopuro: coinflipping with {10-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds}

Flop: {2-Hearts} {9-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} to give Kelopuro a flush draw as well as his two overcards

Turn: {K-Hearts}

River: {K-Clubs}

Nope. Kelopuro swore under his breath as Saizu doubled to just under a million.

Smaller Saizu

We caught up with the action on the {9-Diamonds} {6-Clubs} {2-Spades} flop, which Claudiu Saizu checked from the big blind position. Sami Kelopuro bet 80,000 form the button - only for Saizu now to check-raise to 235,000 with 430,000 behind. Kelopuro thought about it for a long time, before reraising to cover. Saizu bent over the table and dwelled up for a while before folding, leaving himself somewhat short-stacked.
