Pidun takes Over the Chip Lead

Level 31 : 60,000/120,000, 20,000 ante

Daniel-Gai Pidun has taken over the lead from Robert Haigh after the two were involved in a three-way hand.

Alexander Helbig raised to 240,000 from early position and was called by Pidun in the cut-off and Haigh in the big blind.

On the {5-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{9-Hearts} flop it was Pidun who bet first, for 500,000. Only Haigh called from the big blind, but he too folded on the {q-Clubs} turn when he checked to face a 1,000,000 bet.

Roman Korenev

The next time Roman Korenev was all in he was out the door, and he'll be hating pocket jacks from now on. He couldn't beat them before and now they couldn't hold for him.

Alexander Helbig raised to 240,000 from under the gun and called when the Russian moved all in for 1,105,000 from the small blind.

Helbig: {4-Hearts}{4-Spades}
Korenev: {j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}

The board ran {2-Spades}{3-Clubs}{a-Spades}{q-Spades}{k-Spades} to make Helbig a flush.

Level 31 : 60,000/120,000, 20,000 ante

Roman Herold raised from the button to 240,000 and Julian Thomas three-bet to 490,000. Roman Korenev quickly folded after which Herold double checked his cards before throwing them towards the muck. Thomas took another pot down but he's still one of the short stacks.

Two Short Stack Shoves

Level 31 : 60,000/120,000, 20,000 ante

Short stacks have to shove to have any hope, just ask the Romans.

First up, Roman Korenev shoved for 945,000 from early position to take the blinds and antes. The next hand it was Roman Herold moving all in from the small blind. His 2,500,000 move got through.
