Okhotskyi’s Kings in the Big Blind

Level 23 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante

Dmitry Yurasov opened for 60,000 and got called by Benny Spindler on the button and big blind Oleh Okhotskyi.

They saw a flop of {3-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}.

Okhotskyi checked, Yurasov continued for 80,000 and Spindler made the call. Okhotskyi now moved all in and when Yurasov folded Spindler asked for a count and was told it was 90,000 more to call. He shrugged and made the call with {k-Clubs}{j-Spades}. Okhotskyi turned over {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}.

The turn {j-Clubs} and river {7-Hearts} saw Okhotskyi more than double up.

Benny Spindler Eliminated in 7th Place (€66,350)

Level 23 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante
Benny Spindler - 7th Place
Benny Spindler - 7th Place

Benny Spindler, who won the EPT London Main Event back in 2011, began the day second in chips, but he was never able to get anything going at the final table. He watched his chips dwindle, until he made a stand against Vitaly Lunkin.

It happened when Lunkin opened for 60,000 and Spindler moved all in from the hijack for approximately 675,000. Action folded back to Lunkin and he quietly whispered, "Call."

Lunkin: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}
Spindler: {a-Spades}{q-Clubs}

Spindler's face seemed to indicate that he was thinking, "That's just my luck."

He then began to rise as the dealer put out the {10-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} flop. Neither the {4-Spades} turn nor {9-Clubs} river helped Spindler, and he had to settle for seventh place and €66,350.

Rasmus Agerskov Eliminated in 6th Place (€91,150)

Level 23 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante
Rasmus Agerskov - 6th Place
Rasmus Agerskov - 6th Place

Action folded to a short-stacked Rasmus Agerskov in the cutoff and he moved all in for his last 192,000. When action reached Dmitry Yurasov in the small blind, he called and the big folded.

"You call the all ins," Agerskov joked, referencing the fact that Yurasov has called numerous short-stack shoves at the final table.

Agerskov: {q-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}
Yurasov: {a-Clubs}{5-Spades}

Agerskov was behind, but he was drawing to two live cards. The {9-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} flop wasn't helpful, though the {7-Diamonds} turn was as he picked up a gutshot straight draw and flush draw. Unfortunately for him, he'd miss his plethora of outs when the {7-Clubs} blanked on the river.

Agerskov will take home €91,150 for his efforts. Not too shabby considering he began the day as the second-shortest stack.

Fabrice Soulier exhales hard after a big double up
Fabrice Soulier exhales hard after a big double up

Fabrice Soulier opened from the small blind for 75,000 when it was folded to him and Dmitry Yurasov called in the big blind.

They saw a flop of {8-Spades}{2-Hearts}{9-Clubs}.

Soulier checked and then called a bet of 85,000 from Yurasov. The turn card was the {6-Spades} and again Soulier checked. When Yurasov bet 170,000 this time Soulier raised him to 355,000. Yurasov moved all in and when Soulier confirmed what he had said he quickly called.

Soulier threw over the {7-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} for a turned straight and was out of his chair in anticipation. Yurasov tabled the {q-Diamonds}{9-Spades}.

The river card was the {3-Diamonds} and Soulier doubles up and sees Yurasov slip down the field.

Soulier Takes Down Another Juicy Pot

Level 23 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante

Anatoly Filatov opened for 60,000 from the button and received calls from Oleh Okhotskyi and Fabrice Soulier in the small and big blinds respectively. Those two checked the {a-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{q-Diamonds} flop, and Filatov continued for 65,000. Okhotskyi made the call, and then Soulier sprung to life with a check-raise to 155,000. Filatov made a quick call, while Okhotskyi thought for about a minute before releasing his hand.

After the dealer burned and turned the {6-Hearts}, Soulier put together a bet of 325,000, and when he slid it foward Filatov snap-folded.
