Selim Oulmekki
Selim Oulmekki

On a heads-up turn of {3-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{4-Spades}{8-Spades}, small blind Selim Oulmekki bet 9,000 into the already large pot, but then big blind Ivan Vichez put in a big raise to 35,000.

Oulmekki was in the tank for a good while after being faced with this decision, but he eventually decided to let it go and Vichez was pushed the pot.

Amiri Calls Farber All In with Nine-Seven, Scores Elimination

Level 11 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Ehsan Amiri opened for 2,500 from the cutoff and Konstantin Farber moved all in for a little over 12,000 from the small blind. Amiri took about 45 seconds to make his decision before calling.

Konstantin Farber: {a-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}
Ehsan Amiri: {9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}

Farber had a chuckle as Amiri also had diamonds but was plenty live. However, the flop came {9-Clubs}{4-Spades}{10-Clubs} and Amiri soared into the lead.

The {8-Spades} hit the turn and Farber needed an ace or a four to survive.

The {3-Hearts} completed the board and Farber told the table "Good luck" and exited the room.

Juutilainen and Enselme Engage in Intense Battle

Level 11 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Arnaud Enselme opened to 2,500 from early position and Henri Juutilainen three-bet to 6,500. Action folded around back to Enselme, who stared Juutilainen down for about 30 seconds before making the call.

The flop came {10-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{4-Spades} and Juutilainen took his time and slowly moved 5,300 in front of him, leaving 22,000 chips behind. Enselme gave Juutilainen the staredown once more and called after about 45 seconds.

The {8-Spades} arrived on the turn and once again Juutilainen took his time, needing almost 90 seconds before putting out a bet of 7,000. Enselme was slow to react as well, needing about 90 seconds himself to make the call.

The {3-Hearts} completed the board and Juutilainen needed about 30 seconds to move his final three blue chips into the middle. Enselme quickly folded after one last look at his cards and Juutilainen came out the victor in a long, intense battle.

Carrasco Flushes Out the Opposition

Level 11 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

On a three-way turn of {9-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{2-Spades}{8-Spades}, after Anatoly Korochenskiy checked to him, David Carrasco bet 3,200 and was called by Vyacheslav Balaev and Korochensky.

The river fell the {10-Spades} and Korochenskiy checked once more and Carrasco put out a hefty bet of 22,500, to which Balaev moved all in for the lesser amount of 13,500.

Korochenskiy quickly got out of the way and Carrasco tabled {a-Spades}{4-Spades} for the rivered nut flush while Balaev angrily threw down his {k-Spades}{j-Spades} for the second-nut flush, a real bad beat, and exited the tournament.
