Preflop Battle

Level 24 : 12,000/24,000, 3,000 ante

On the button, Dzmitry Urbanovich raised to 55,000. His neighbor in the small blind, Iliodoros Kamatakis, three-bet to 160,000. The big blind Gilles Bernies cold four-bet to 320,000 and Yrbanovich quickly tossed his cards into the muck. Kamatakis shoved all in for 1,398,000 and Bernies went into the tank. He at one point apologized for taking his time, before he eventually gave in and folded.

Adrian Mateos made it 50,000 and Kuljinder Sidhu three-bet to 115,000 before Matias Ruzzi pushed in for 233,000 total.

Mateos was the only interested party, holding the {a-Spades}{a-Hearts} in a massive cooler with Ruzzi on the {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}. The {k-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} flop turned things around fast, and it turned out Mateos was on the wrong end of the cooler this time, as the {q-Diamonds} turn and {5-Clubs} river ensured Ruzzi would double up.
