Bilokur Walks Straight Into a Flush

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

On a board of {J-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{10-Spades}{A-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} we witnessed Bertrand Grospellier check from the small blind. Alex Bilokur made a bet of 20,500 from the big blind and Tom-Aksel Bedell tanked for some time before he called from the button. Grospellier hesitated for quite some time but eventually decided to fold. Bilokur confidently showed {8-Diamonds}{7-Spades} for the flopped straight. Bedell tabled {6-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} for the backdoor flush and took down the pot.

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

[Removed:17] started short today but had worked up his stack, only to bust just now to Dietrich Fast. Yan opened under the gun and got a call before Dietrich Fast in late position squeezed to 16,000. Yan four-bet to 33,000 and called Fast's shove pretty quickly.

[Removed:17]: {K-Hearts}{K-Clubs}
Dietrich Fast: {A-Spades}{J-Hearts}

The board ran out {J-Spades}{3-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{J-Diamonds} sending Yan packing. Fast now one of the bigger stacks in the room.

Linde Will Take This Outcome

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

We just picked up the action on a {4-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} flop when Dylan Linde was all in for 27,900 chips from the big blind against two opponents. The action was on Artem Metalidi, in early position, and he had 7,600 invested when he decided to call Linde's shove.

Senh Ung, the third player involved, sat on the button with 7,600 invested and he opted to make the call as well.

Linde patiently awaited his fate as the hand was checked down between Metalidi and Ung on the {6-Hearts} turn and the {Q-Clubs} river.

Linde showed {K-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}, Metalidi showed {K-Hearts}{10-Hearts} and Ung mucked, meaning the pot would get split between the two king-ten hands.

"Ok," Linde said with a hint of surprise in his voice, "I'll take it."

"Not bad," he later added, as he profited nicely on the hand despite only chopping the pot.

Agerskov check called another 7,500 on the {6-Hearts} turn before both players checked the {10-Diamonds} on the river. Agerskov showed {Q-}{9-} but was beat by Chew's {K-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}.

Boeree Sad, Boeree Happy

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante
Liv Boeree
Liv Boeree

Team PokerStars Pro Liv Boeree was just caught in a pot from the under-the-gun position against Vladimir Troyanovskiy in the big blind. The flop showed {4-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} when the Russian pro check-called a bet of 5,500 and the turn brought the {9-Diamonds}.

Troyanovskiy checked again after which the former EPT San Remo champion bet 14,000.

After a while Troyanovskiy moved all in to put Boeree at risk, and she called immediately for a total of 37,000.

Boeree's face turned as she saw her opponent turn over {J-Spades}{9-Hearts} for two pair, and her {K-Diamonds}{K-Hearts} were in trouble.

On the river however, the {4-Spades} hit and Boeree let out the slightest squeal, followed by a big smile as she managed to double up. Boeree raked in the pot and she's now in great shape with about 90,000 chips.
