Robert Doubles; Hajiyev Doesn't

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Vincent Robert raised to 10,500 and Bahram Chobineh called in the hijack. Dan Smith in the cutoff three-bet to 36,000 and Robert then moved all in for 85,500. Chobineh folded and Smith asked for a count, then confirmed his call.

Vincent Robert: {K-Hearts}{K-Spades}
Dan Smith: {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}

The board came {J-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} and Robert doubled.

One table over and just moments later, Ramin Hajiyev got his remaining 43,000 in from the button and Gary Hasson called in the small blind.

Ramin Hajiyev: {A-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}
Gary Hasson: {K-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}

The {10-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} flop favoured Hasson, and the {5-Hearts} turn and {9-Spades} river failed to improve Hajiyev.

Mateos Sends Talvitie to the Rail

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

First to act, Adrian Mateos opened the action with a raise to 8,500 and Elias Talvitie moved all in from the cutoff for 93,000. Mateos asked for a count and called after brief consideration.

Elias Talvitie: {A-Spades}{J-Spades}
Adrian Mateos: {A-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}

The kicker advantage proved to be vital on a board of {K-Spades}{8-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{10-Hearts} and the Finn was left without anything to show for.

Yan Eliminated by Astedt

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Niklas Astedt raised to 9,000 from early position and was called by Luc Greenwood in the next position. [Removed:17] was on the button and moved all in for 82,500. Astedt called and Greenwood folded.

Niklas Astedt: {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}
[Removed:17]: {a-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}

The board ran out {k-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{9-Clubs}{7-Hearts} and Yan was eliminated.

"Nines," said Greenwood, indicating what he folded.

"You call flop..." said Astedt, "Then I go broke on the turn!"

"Or the river," replied Greenwood."

Smith Doubles Through Mandic

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

In a five-way pot, the blinds checked to pre-flop raiser Goran Mandic who bet 22,000. Mustapha Kanit folded, as did Bahram Chobineh - albeit after using a time extension.

Dan Smith was in the small blind and check-raised all in for 35,000. Matthew Moss got out of the way and Mandic called.

Dan Smith: {a-Hearts}{4-Hearts}
Goran Mandic: {q-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}

The turn was the {k-Diamonds} giving Mandic trips, but the {10-Hearts} river completed Smith's flush and he doubled up.

Lehto and Hasson Near Even in Chips

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Joining the action on the {A-Spades}{Q-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} turn, Kai Lehto bet 11,000 out of the big blind and Gary Hasson called on the button. Lehto also bet the {2-Spades} river for 23,000 and that proved to be too much for Hasson. After all was done and dusted, both players were left almost even in chips.

Mandic Doubles Through Moss

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

A raise to 9,000 by Matthew Moss in the cutoff resulted in the shove of Goran Mandic on the button for 92,000. Moss gave it some thought and called.

Goran Mandic: {J-Clubs}{J-Hearts}
Matthew Moss: {A-Hearts}{7-Hearts}

Moss improved to a pair of aces on the {A-Spades}{K-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} turn, however, the {J-Diamonds} turn secured the double for Mandic, and that made the {8-Hearts} river meaningless.

"I folded a jack," Mustapha Kanit said in table chat.

Assorted Counts

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Orpen Kisacikoglu raised to 8,000 and Liv Boeree defended her big blind to check-call a bet of 7,500 on the {K-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} flop. On the {2-Spades} turn, Boeree checked once more and folded when facing a bet of 15,000 by Kisacikoglu.

One table over, Filipe Oliveira faced a bet of 45,000 on the river of a board {6-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{3-Spades}{K-Spades}. His opponent was David Peters and Oliveira used one time bank before making the call. It was a good one, as Peters showed air, and Oliveira claimed the pot with {5-Spades}{4-Hearts}.
