Halimi Fades the World to Double Up

Level 21 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Rony Halimi shoved his last 53,000 from early position and Sergei Petrushevskii went over the top.

Rony Halimi: {a-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}
Sergei Petrushevskii: {k-Hearts}{q-Clubs}

Halimi was barely ahead with his ace but the {8-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{10-Hearts} gave Petrushevskii a flush draw, which had Halimi visibly nervous and crouching over the table.

The {9-Clubs} also gave his opponent a straight draw and the whole table was enjoying the major sweat.

The river was the {4-Spades} and much of the table was shocked that Halimi was able to fade all the outs and get back to a bit over 12 big blinds.

Galvao Quadruples on River

Level 21 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

In a huge multi-way pot, Warley Borges Galvao was all in preflop while three others were still at battle.

Eddie Saade was the first to act in the small blind and struck the first blow by betting 83,000 into the pot of around 260,000. Tamer Kamel in the big blind folded and then action was on Ailyran de Souza Lisboa on the button.

Lisboa tanked for a good five minutes until eventually clock was called on him, and shortly after that he moved all in for 300,000. Saade shocked the table by folding, and then Galvao and Lisboa tabled their cards.

Warley Borges Galvao: {a-Hearts}{9-Hearts}
Ailyran de Souza Lisboa: {a-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}

The board ran out {q-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} to pair Galvao's nine on the river, winning him the pot and a huge quadruple up in the process.

Tekle Gets Paid After Getting Raised Into with Full House

Level 21 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Bartu Ugurtas opened to 20,000 from the button and Henok Tekle defended his big blind.

The flop came {6-Hearts}{j-Spades}{4-Clubs} and both players tapped the table.

On the {6-Spades} turn, Tekle put out a bet of 20,000 and Ugurtas raised to 75,000. Tekle sat there for about a minute before making the call.

The river brought the {5-Diamonds} and Tekle checked to Ugurtas who made the check, much to Tekle's dismay.

Tekle tabled {j-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} for a full house and added to his stack, which is beginning to hover around a million.

Fischer Up to 2.3 Million, Collects Ninth Bounty

Level 21 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Manuel Fischer
Manuel Fischer

Julio Ribeiro opened to 20,000 from the cutoff and Manuel Fischer called from the big blind.

The flop came {6-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{8-Hearts} and Ribeiro put out a continuation bet of 50,000, leaving 121,000 behind. After about 45 seconds, Fischer went over the top and Ribeiro snapped him off.

Julio Ribeiro: {j-Clubs}{j-Spades}
Manuel Fischer: {q-Hearts}{10-Spades}

Ribeiro had the best of it with his overpair against Fischer's top pair.

However, the {q-Clubs} arrived on the turn and a shocked Ribeiro would need to hit a jack to continue his tournament run.

The {3-Hearts} completed the board, eliminating Ribeiro, sending Fischer to around 2,300,000, and giving Fischer his ninth bounty of the day.

Kolev Scores Another Bounty

Level 22 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Yuliyan Kolev
Yuliyan Kolev

After Yuliyan Kolev opened from under the gun, Gerardo Rodriguez Ulloa put in 85,000 of his 90,000 chips from the big blind as a pay jump was just one place away. Kolev went all in and upon confirmation that he was guaranteed a ladder worth €680, Ulloa made the call.

Gerardo Rodriguez Ulloa: {9-Hearts}{9-Spades}
Yuliyan Kolev: {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs}

The {6-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{5-Spades} was kind to Ulloa as his nines were still best and Kolev was left without straight or flush possibilities.

The turn, however, was the {k-Spades} putting Kolev way out in front with Ulloa drawing to just two outs.

The river was the {5-Clubs} and Kolev collected another bounty.

Talbot Smashes Pepping's Queens

Level 22 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Parker Talbot
Parker Talbot

Parker "Tonkaaaa" Talbot got it all in for 171,000 and was called by Roelof Pepping, with Talbot at risk of elimination.

Parker Talbot: {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}
Roelof Pepping: {q-Clubs}{q-Spades}

Although he was in rough shape, the {2-Clubs}{7-Spades}{8-Clubs}{7-Clubs} board on the turn gave Pepping some hope with a flush draw, but the {j-Spades} river did not do it and Talbot secured the double up.

Pepping was left with only 38,000 and busted a few hands later.
