Koliakov Kicked Out by Guerrero

Level 8 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Sergei Koliakov
Sergei Koliakov

Sergei Koliakov shoved from under the gun and Jimmy Guerrero asked for a count from the hijack. The dealer confirmed Koliakov had 20,700 behind. Guerrero made the call while the rest of the table folded.

Sergei Koliakov: {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}
Jimmy Guerrero: {a-Clubs}{j-Hearts}

The flop came {6-Hearts}{10-Spades}{q-Spades} for Koliakov to hit top pair but it also gave Guerrero the gutshot to a Broadway.

The turn was the {a-Hearts} to not change much as Koliakov improved to two pair but the river completed the board with the {k-Clubs} to send Koliakov to the rail as Guerrero hit his out.

In the meantime, Sam Greenwood and Stephen Chidwick were also eliminated.

Tuna Gets Shorter

Level 8 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Akin Tuna had 11,000 left and raised to 2,800 from the middle position. Action folded to Quan Zhou in the big blind who stared at Tuna's stack to figure out how much he had behind before making the call.

They both checked through the {3-Clubs}{4-Spades}{5-Hearts} flop to the {6-Clubs} on the turn. Zhou bet 2,500 and Tuna quickly folded.

Anton Yakuba
Anton Yakuba

After having doubled up through Yake Wu earlier today, Anton Yakuba has been running up his stack.

The flop read {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{q-Spades} with 5,500 in the middle. Yakuba checked in the big blind and Bertrand Grospellier bet 3,000 from under the gun which was called.

They both checked through the {3-Hearts} on the turn to the {5-Spades} on the river. Yakuba now bet 2,800 and that was enough for Grospellier to fold.
