Boika Doubles Through Polke

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

We found Aliaksei Boika all in and at risk for his last roughly 100,000 before the flop against Milan Polke. Pole tabled {3-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} and was racing against Boika's {A-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}.

A grin materialized over Boika's face as the dealer spread out the {A-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{4-Clubs} flop, pairing Boika's ace and giving him the significant edge in the hand. The turn was the {6-Spades} and the river the {K-Hearts}, ensuring that Boika would be able to double up this hand. He scooped the pot and now has about 210,000 while Polke has fallen to about 355,000.

Duta Doubles to Survive

Level 18 : 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante

Florian-Dimitrie Duta moved all in for his last 68,000 chips and the action was on Alex Stevic. He asked for a count and then decided his hand was good enough for a call and tabled {a-Clubs}{j-Spades}. Duta had {q-Spades}{q-Hearts}. The board ran out {3-Spades}{7-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{k-Clubs} and Duta survived putting medium sized dent in the PokerStars Sponsored players stack.
