Triple Doubles

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Heavy action around the room just saw three players double up.

First, Thomas Miller got it in with the {k-Diamonds}{q-Spades} versus Niall Farrell's {a-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}, finding a pair on the {5-Spades}{6-Spades}{k-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} board.

Then, Daniel Negreanu made it 27,000 and Imad Derwiche called. Rafael Da Silva Moraes shoved in with the {k-Spades}{k-Clubs} and only Derwiche called holding the {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}. The board ran out {8-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{3-Spades} to give Da Silva Moraes the double.

Finally, a short stacked Dan Smith got it in with the {7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} and Amit Makhija called on the {a-Spades}{j-Diamonds}. The {k-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{q-Clubs} board gave Smith the double and left Makhija short.

Second Barrel by Schillhabel Works

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Stefan Schillhabel raised from the button and was called by Thomas Miller and Niall Farrell in the blinds. On the {8-Spades}{7-Clubs}{2-Clubs} flop, both players in the blinds folded to Schillhabel and then called the continuation bet worth 22,000. The {J-Spades} turn triggered yet another two checks, but this time Schillhabel's bet of 60,000 did the trick and he claimed the pot uncontested.

Igor Yaroshevskyy
Igor Yaroshevskyy

Igor Yaroshevskyy pushed his short stack of 79,000 in the middle of the table and Alexandru Papazian announced the call from two seats over, cutting out a stack of T-5,000 chips. All other players folded and Yaroshevskyy was at risk with the worse kicker.

Yaroshevskyy: {A-Hearts}{J-Clubs}
Papazian: {A-Clubs}{K-Spades}

The board ran out {Q-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{3-Spades}{8-Clubs}{9-Spades} and that was it for the Ukrainian, there will now be a short break to redraw the last three tables.

Luca Loses to Kaverman; Not Zhou

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Ivan Luca
Ivan Luca

Ivan Luca pushed for 65,000 and Quan Zhou called from the hijack before the action reached Byron Kaverman on the button. He pushed for 232,000 and Zhou asked for a count. The calling chips were pulled into the pot and Zhou had another 167,000 to call, standing up from his chair to make up the mind.

The clock was called on him and Zhou eventually folded the {A-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}.

Luca: {Q-Spades}{10-Diamonds}
Kaverman: {K-Spades}{Q-Clubs}

The board ran out {J-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{2-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} and Luca was eliminated in 26th place, though Zhou would have knocked out two opponents if he had called.

Satellite winner Shaan Siddiqui pushed his last 56,000 in the middle from early position, and Stefan Schillhabel looked him up from the big blind with the {10-Clubs}{9-Spades}.

Siddiqui looked good for the double with the {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}, but the {j-Hearts}{8-Spades}{4-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{j-Spades} board did him in, making Schillhabel a pair.
