Addamo Staying Alive

Level 4 : 100/300, 300 ante

Artur Martirosian raised to 800 in early position and Michael Addamo defended out of the big blind.

Addamo checked on the {q-Hearts}{4-Spades}{4-Hearts} flop and Martirosian bet 500. Addamo called. Addamo checked again on the {5-Clubs} turn and called a bet of 2,000 from his opponent.

Addamo checked a third time on the {a-Spades} river and Martirosian checked back. Addamo showed {k-Spades}{5-Hearts} for fives and fours and Martirosian quietly mucked.

Danchev Takes a Pot

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

Dimitar Danchev opened to 800 in the cutoff, Timothy Adams called on the button, and Stephen Chidwick defended the big blind.

The flop fell {a-Hearts}{j-Spades}{4-Hearts} and action checked to Adams who bet 800. Danchev called and Chidwick folded.

On the {9-Clubs} turn, Danchev check-called for 3,300, and both players checked the {7-Spades} river.

Danchev tabled {j-Hearts}{7-Hearts} to take the pot with two pair as Adams' hand went into the muck.

Orpaz Binks Straight to Eliminate Dimov

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante
Tom Orpaz
Tom Orpaz

Tom Orpaz relayed in vivid detail a hand to PokerNews where he busted Ognyan Dimov.

According to Orpaz, Dimov opened to 600 on the button and Orpaz called in the small blind, as did Jean-Noel Thorel in the big blind.

On the flop of {j-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{4-}, Orpaz said he "donk-bet" 1,000 after announcing he would do so ahead of the flop. Thorel folded and Dimov raised to 3,500 and Orpaz called.

Orpaz then checked dark before the {q-} on the turn and Dimov bet 6,500. Orpaz check-jammed and Dimov called off with his stack of around 40,000.

Orpaz showed {10-}{8-} for a turned straight to be ahead of the flopped set of Dimov with {9-}{9-}. The {k-} on the river didn't change things and Dimov hit the rail as Orpaz attempted to console him.

"That hand played itself," Orpaz said about the wildly unconventional hand.

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

In a heads-up pot on a board of {a-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{6-Hearts}, Michael Addamo checked and Artur Martirosian, who earlier doubled through the Australian crusher, bet 300. Addamo called.

Addamo checked again on the {8-Hearts} turn and Martirosian bet 1,500. Addamo called. Addamo checked a third time on the {j-Clubs} river and opted to fold when Martirosian fired a hefty bet of 10,000.
