Clocked Called on Ruivo, Brendo Climbs the Counts

Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

On a board of {q-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{a-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{6-Hearts}, Oddvar Brendo bet 75,000 into a pot of around 140,000 and Manuel Ruivo went deep into the tank and after around fives minutes, the table called the clock on him.

The tournament director gave Ruivo thirty seconds to make his decision and with five seconds left he flicked in a single chip for a call.

Brendo showed {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts} and his two pair was enough to take the pot and leave Ruivo with less than 30 big blinds to play with.

Flush Over Set in Four-Way Pot

Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Action began on the turn in a four-way pot with about 36,000 in the middle. The board showed {j-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}.

Emin Mugulov checked from the small blind, Oddvar Brendo checked from under the gun. On his left, Bleron Maliqi checked as well. Last to act on the button, Steven Mulder bet 22,000. Mugulov folded, but both Brendo and Maliqi made the call.

The river landed the {3-Diamonds}, completing the backdoor flush. Brendo checked, but Maliqi bet 55,000 into the turn aggressor. Mulder made the call, prompting Brendo to fold.

"Nine ten?" asked Mulder before seeing what Maliqi actually had.

Maliqi turned over {k-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} for the nuts on the river, causing Maliqi to toss his cards, and chips, in the middle in disgust.

Karapanau Pips Greenwood

Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Sam Greenwood opened to 5,000 from under the gun and Ryhor Karapanau three-bet to 15,000 on the button. Greenwood called and they went heads-up to a flop of {5-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{4-Spades}.

Greenwood checked to Karapanau who bet 11,000 and Greenwood check-raised to 30,000. Karapanau called and the {9-Hearts} landed on the turn.

Greenwood led out with a bet of 33,000 this time and Karapanau still called as the {8-Spades} completed the board. Greenwood shut down by checking and Karapanau checked it back. Greenwood showed {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds} but Karapanau had the better of the two pocket pairs with {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}.

Grieco Busts Bohdanov and D'Angelo in Consecutive Hands

Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Daniele D'Angelo
Daniele D'Angelo

With bets of 10,500 and 18,000 already pulled in until the {a-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{8-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} turn, Nicola Grieco checked and Renat Bohdanov moved all-in for the last 26,500. Grieco was deep in the tank for more than four minutes as he vaulted out of the chair and studied the board very carefully. The clock was called on him and Grieco called with three seconds left.

Renat Bohdanov: {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}
Nicola Grieco: {j-Hearts}{9-Hearts}

Grieco was trailing but spiked the {j-Clubs} on the river to burst out in a rather timid celebration in his native language.

One hand later, Grieco used his standard opening size of 10,000 - four big blinds - once more. Daniele D'Angelo pushed all-in and already stood up, joked "I need a lot of luck against this guy". The dealer told D'Angelo to sit back down and once it folded back to Grieco, he snap-called.

Daniele D'Angelo: {8-Spades}{8-Clubs}
Nicola Grieco: {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}

This time, Grieco had the best of it and made a set on the {a-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{k-Hearts}{5-Clubs} runout to send the next opponent to the rail.

Lee Doubles Through Bogdanov in Massive Pot

Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Jaesung Lee
Jaesung Lee

Robert Cowen raised to 5,000 and was called by Jaesung Lee from one seat over on the button. Yulian Bogdanov then tree-bet to 27,500 in the big blind and Cowen folded while Lee called. The {j-Spades}{10-Hearts}{6-Clubs} flop saw a bet of 15,500 by Bogdanov and a call before the Bulgarian fired a hefty 70,000 on the {2-Hearts} turn.

Lee called once again and that led them to the {3-Hearts} on the river. Bogdanov motioned to see the stack of his opponent before he pushed all-in. Lee had more than the current average behind and quickly called to get shown the {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds} by Bogdanov, which he had beat holding the {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}.
