Vogelsang and Malinowski Out on Second Bullet

Level 8 : 3,000/6,000, 750 ante
Vogelsang vs Rolle
Vogelsang vs Rolle

Christoph "26071985" Vogelsang raised it up to 11,250 and was called by Benjamin "bencb789" Rolle, which led them to the {j-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{6-Clubs} flop. Vogelsang check-called a bet of 11,344 and they checked the {6-Hearts} on the turn.

Vogelsand opted to bet the {9-Clubs} river for 45,650 with 189,604 behind and called all-in when Rolle jammed. His {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} had been ahead preflop but Rolle outflopped that with {j-Spades}{j-Hearts} to send his countryman to the rail.

Another player to bust for the second time today was Wiktor "limitless" Malinowski. He had min-raised to 6,000 and called the shove of Timothy "Tim0thee" Adams out of the small blind with the inferior stack.

Wiktor "limitless" Malinowski: {k-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}
Timothy "Tim0thee" Adams: {a-Diamonds}{q-Spades}

Both spiked trips queens on the {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{4-Hearts} flop and the kicker played on the {5-Spades} turn and {10-Hearts} river.

Martirosian Busts Peters and Greenwood

Level 6 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Greenwood vs Martirosian
Greenwood vs Martirosian

Artur "mararthur1" Martirosian defended his big blind against an under-the-gun raise to 8,800 by David "dpeters17" Peters and they checked the {8-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{7-Diamonds} flop. Martirosian bet the {2-Clubs} turn for 34,000 to pick up a call and jammed the {j-Spades} river for an effective 156,466.

That's what Peters had left, who made the call with {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds} and was shown the {7-Clubs}{5-Clubs} for trips sevens by Martirosian.

One hand later, Martirosian lost a bigger pot with top pair against a rivered flush of Sam "Str8$$$Homey" Greenwood but the revenge of Martirosian came two hands later.

The open raise of the Russian was worth 10,000 and Greenwood three-bet to 36,000, Martirosian made it 100,000 to go and called the five-bet jam by Greenwood for 525,350.

Sam "Str8$$$Homey" Greenwood: {10-Spades}{10-Clubs}
Artur "mararthur1" Martirosian: {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}

On a board of {j-Hearts}{6-Spades}{2-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{q-Spades}, queens held up and even made a set to propel Martirosian into the lead.

Conor "1_conor_b_1" Beresford: {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}
