Evangelos Bechrakis
Evangelos Bechrakis

Martin Olali shoved from the cutoff for 300,000 and Salomon Sebban did the same on the button for 450,000. Pedro Ventura was sitting in the small blind and asked for a count, the dealer confirmed and Ventura decided to also shove. Evangelos Bechrakis asked for a count of Ventura's stack, the dealer counted it all out and determined that Ventura had 1,450,000 in front of him. Bechrakis took a few seconds and then decided to call. All the other players who weren't in a hand flocked to the table to see what was happening.

Martin Olali: {q-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}
Salomon Sebban: {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}
Pedro Ventura: {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}
Evangelos Bechrakis: {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}

The board ran out {j-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{7-Spades}{6-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} for Bechrakis' pocket queens to hold to eliminate the three other players and provide the remaining players with a pay jump.

Level 26 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Pasi Sormunen raised to 110,000 from mid-position and Yaniv Peretz shoved from the big blind. Peretz tanked and then shoved. Sormunen asked for a count and the dealer confirmed Peretz had 945,000 behind.

"You know I open light," Sormunen said to Peretz. "Okay, I call."

Yaniv Peretz: {a-Spades}{k-Spades}
Pasi Sormunen: {a-Clubs}{10-Clubs}

The flop came {9-Spades}{8-Hearts}{2-Spades} to keep Peretz ahead and picking up the flush draw.

The turn was the {10-Spades} for Peretz to complete his flush draw and have Sormunen drawing dead.

The {8-Clubs} on the river was just a formality to complete the board as Peretz scored the double-up.
