Troyanovskiy Runs Into Queens

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Vladimir Troyanovskiy
Vladimir Troyanovskiy

Vladimir Troyanovskiy open-shoved for around 11 big blinds and was flat-called by Saar Wilf from one seat over, everyone else got out of the way.

Troyanovskiy was in deep trouble holding {Q-Hearts}{9-Hearts}, as Wilf had woken up with the {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}. The board ran out {K-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{4-Clubs} and the Russian had been drawing dead by the turn already to exit the tournament minutes just when the level ran out.

Min-Cash for O'Dwyer

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Steve O'Dwyer
Steve O'Dwyer

Steve O'Dwyer moved all in for 85,000 from early position and Julian Stuer flat-called from one seat over, the rest of the table folded.

O'Dwyer held {Q-Spades}{J-Hearts} and was trailing the {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades} of Stuer, who immediately paired his ace on the {A-Hearts}{10-Spades}{3-Spades} flop. Neither the {7-Diamonds} turn nor {J-Diamonds} river changed the outcome of the hand and O'Dwyer exited in 31st place, adding more points for the Player of the Year ranking.

Ofer Zvi Stern
Ofer Zvi Stern

Julian Stuer raised the cutoff and Zvi Stern three-bet the button, making it 61,000.

Stuer four-bet, making it 142,000 and Stern tank-called. They both checked the {q-Spades}{7-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} flop and {a-Diamonds} turn, but when the {10-Spades} river came down, Stuer fired out 125,000.

Stern threw in a single chip, making the call and Stuer mucked immediately, giving the pot to Stern, who did not show.

Papazian Catches Luca's Bluff

Level 18 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Joining the action on the {6-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{2-Hearts} flop, Ivan Luca checked out of the big blind and Alexandru Papazian made it 19,000 to go. Luca check-raised to 53,000 and Papazian called to see the {4-Diamonds} appear on the turn. After the {7-Hearts} river, Luca bet 62,000 right away and Papazian tank-called with the {8-Clubs}{4-Clubs} to scoop the pot, bettering the {10-Hearts}{8-Hearts} of Luca.
