Mount Korenev

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Youssef Finianos picked a good time to push in with the {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}, considering Roman Korenev had the {a-Spades}{10-Spades} and a mountain of chips to call with.

Koranev did make the call, falling below the one-million chip mark when the board ran out {2-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{q-Clubs}{6-Spades}{8-Clubs} and Finianos doubled through.

An Ace and a King for Andrejevic

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Andjelko Andrejevic pushed in over the top of a Matthew Davenport raise, and when it folded back to Davenport, he snap-called with the {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}.

Andrejevic's {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs} made it a classic race situation, and he took the lead on the {k-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} flop, extended it on the {k-Spades} river, and held on after the {q-Diamonds} river to double through.

Ace-King and Ace-King Go Down Against Celestino's Sevens

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Tomas Jozonis just moved all in under the gun for 128,000 chips and Ariel Celestino called from the cutoff. Chris Dowling went into the tank for a while before making the call from the button. After both blinds folded the flop brought out {Q-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{5-Spades} and no chips were put into a potential side pot.

The turn was the {J-Spades} and again the action was checked.

On the river the board completed with the {3-Diamonds} and for the third time the action went check-check.

Jozonis announced - and showed - {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades} and Dowling showed the same hand with {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}. Celestino then tabled {7-Hearts}{7-Clubs} to claim the pot, and Jozonis was not pleased.

"Why didn't you shove?" Jozonis sighed, as he was knocked out and Dowling took a hit.

Rosen Calls Metaal Down

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante
Govert Metaal
Govert Metaal

After a raise to 22,000 and a call by Oren Rosen on the button, Govert Metaal three-bet from the small blind to 83,000 and Rosen called.

The flop brought out {A-Clubs}{K-Spades}{2-Spades} and Metaal continued for 80,000 and Rosen tanked for a while before making the call.

On the turn the {9-Spades} hit and Metaal stared at Rosen's stack before sliding forward 160,000.

Rosen pondered his decision for a bit before asking the dealer for the exact bet amount.

"160,000?" Rosen said, before putting the chips together to make the call.

The board completed on the river with the {5-Diamonds}, and now the action was checked.

Metaal showed {10-Hearts}{9-Clubs}, and Rosen let out a big sigh as he tabled {A-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}. The pot was pushed to Rosen, and he's now closing on a million-chip stack.

Rosen Blooming

Level 20 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

We missed almost all the action on this hand, but the outcome is certainly noteworthy.

Oren Rosen bet approximately 160,000 on the river of a {k-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} board with 400,000-plus in the pot already, heads up with Govert Metaal - who he'd caught bluffing a little earlier.

Metaal let it go and the pot pushed Rosen well over the one-million mark with Level 21.
