Venovski Limping In

From the cutoff seat, Alexander Venovski limped in. Philipp Gruissem raised to 21,000 from the button and action folded back to Venovski. He called and the flop came down {A-Spades}{J-Spades}{4-Spades}. Both players checked and the turn brought the {6-Clubs}. Both checked again. The river was the {4-Diamonds} and both players checked a final time.

Venovski mucked after Gruissem showed the {8-Hearts}{6-Hearts} for a pair of sixes.

Peters Eliminated By Litvinov

David Peters fired 31,500 on the {Q-Spades}{10-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{9-Hearts} board. His opponent was Artem Litvinov and he made the call. The river card was the {2-Diamonds} and Peters bet all in for 81,500. After a couple minutes of tanking, Litvinov called.

Peters tabled the {A-Spades}{Q-Clubs} for top pair, top kicker. Litvinov had him beat with the {10-Clubs}{9-Clubs} for two pair. He won the pot and eliminated Peters. Upon seeing that he won the hand, Litvinov let out some loud roars and began doing some shadow boxing in the air. He then sat back down and stacked up his chips to 740,000.
