Mikhail Shalamov Takes from Jason Mercier

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Joining the action on the {A-Clubs}{7-Spades}{5-Clubs} flop, Jason Mercier checked in the big blind and Mikhail Shalamov bet 40,000 on the button, Mercier called. After the {Q-Hearts} turn, Mercier check-called another bet worth 81,000 and then checked the {5-Diamonds} river.

Shalamov bet 170,000 and Mercier called after some consideration, mucked once Shalamov showed him {A-Spades}{K-Spades}.

Three-Way Clash Sends Andreas Freund to the Rail

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Simon Lofberg raised to 40,000 and short stack Andreas Freund shoved for 140,000 from one seat over in the cutoff. Vasileios Chalkidis moved all in from the button and Konstantin Puchkov called all in from the small blind. Lofberg folded and the cards were tabled.

Freund: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}
Puchkov: {J-Spades}{J-Diamonds}
Chalkidis: {A-Clubs}{K-Spades}

The flop of {K-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{9-Clubs} improved Puchkov to a set, while Freund had a straight draw. Nothing changed with the {2-Diamonds} turn, and the {4-Spades} river was a blank as well. Freund was eliminated and Puchkov doubled through Chalkidis for 391,000.

Holozlu and Chouity Get Into It

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Alisan Holozlu
Alisan Holozlu

We joined a big pot on the river as Nicolas Chouity bet 142,000 into a pot of roughly double that. The board read {3-Spades}{7-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} and Chouity's bet was putting Alisan Holozlu under a lot of pressure.

Eventually, Holozlu, having looked like he was certain to fold, made the call.

Chouity turned over his bluff, {K-Clubs}{5-Spades} and nodded, saying "Good call."

Holozlu turned over {8-Spades}{8-Hearts} for the winning hand.

"You never give up." said Chouity to his opponent.

"I give up when I feel I'm not winning. Was I ahead or not?" replies Holozlu. It's friendly but Chouity is clearly a little frustrated at his opponent calling him. The two men essentially swap positions in the leaderboard.

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Sergei Chantcev had already shoved a few hands ago, and when the action folded to him in the small blind the Russian moved all in for 194,000. Marc Trijaud called in the big blind and Chantcev had only one over card.

Chantcev: {K-Spades}{2-Diamonds}
Trijaud: {5-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}

The board ran out {A-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{3-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{5-Spades} and Trijaud claimed the pot with a set of fives.

Markus Durnegger Pains Thomas de Rooij

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Markus Durnegger raised to 35,000 from middle position. Two seats over, Thomas de Rooij put in a three-bet to 110,000, and Durnegger called. Durnegger checked the {A-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}{J-Clubs} flop to De Rooij, who bet 80,000. The Austrian check-raised to 200,000, and De Rooij thought for a while before calling.

The turn was the {K-Hearts}, putting four to a straight on the board. Both players took quite some before checking, giving the dealer time to flip the {4-Hearts} river. Durnegger now bet 285,000, making De Rooij visibly slump in his seat. After three minutes, the Dutchman slid in a 5,000-chip, indicating a call.

Durnegger showed {J-Hearts}{J-Diamonds} for a set of jacks, a hand De Rooij couldn't beat as he mucked his holding.

Rui Sousa Doubles Through Jason Koon

Level 21 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Jason Koon raised to 36,000 under the gun and Rui Sousa moved all in from the next seat, shoving 304,000 into the pot. When it got back to Koon, he called to put Sousa at risk.

Jason Koon: {8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}
Rui Sousa: {9-Hearts}{9-Spades}

It was exactly the holding Sousa wanted to see from Koon, and the Portuguese scored the double-up on a {K-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{10-Hearts} board.
