Imsirovic Up Over 400,000

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Almedin Imsirovic was lucky to double early in the day when he was all in with {a-}{4-} for 250,000 against {a-}{k-} on a board of {a-}{3-}{5-}{7-}. The {2-} came on the river to give Imsirovic a miracle wheel.

He continued to gather more chips; one player raised to 4,000 and another player called. Imsirovic three-bet to 20,000 and got called in one spot. That player then folded to a continuation bet from Imsirovic on the {q-Spades}{4-Spades}{7-} flop.

Imsirovic showed {a-}{a-} and took down the pot; he now moved above 400,000 in chips.

Timoshenko Doubles Through Blom

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Viktor_Blom
Viktor_Blom

Yevgeniy Timoshenko moved all in for 18,000 from middle position and saw Viktor Blom reshove from the button for 45,000 before the players in the blinds folded.

Yevgeniy Timoshenko: {a-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}
Viktor Blom: {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}

Board: {6-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{q-Clubs}

The flop was safe for Blom, but the jack of spades turn card gave Timoshenko the lead with a pair. The river was no help to Blom, and he was left with 27,000 as Timoshenko moved up to 40,000.

However, just a couple of hands later Blom was able to steal some of his chips back from Timoshenko. The latter raised to 5,000 from early position and opted to fold after Blom three-bet all in.

Davies Wins Without Showdown

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Seth Davies raised under the gun and called a three-bet from Uri Goldberg.

The flop showed {9-Spades}{k-Spades}{8-Spades} and Davies check-called another bet worth 8,000 from Goldberg. A {a-Spades} fell on the turn and brought no betting action.

The river was the {2-Hearts} and Davies made a small bet of 4,500. It was enough to win the pot without more resistance and Davies has now a comfortable stack of 260,000.
