Abou Saleh and Ticherfatine Double Through Volkov

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Cecile Ticherfaine
Cecile Ticherfaine

After an open by Anton Volkov under the gun to 1,200, Elias Abou Saleh in middle position called, as well as the hijack, the button and the big blind.

On 754, Volvo made a continuation-bet of 6,000, then Abou Saleh raised all in for 9,300 chips. All the other players folded, except for Volkov who called.

Elias Abou Saleh: AA
Anton Volkov: JJ

With aces, Abou Saleh tried to be tricky, and it worked as he doubled up after the turn 9 and the river 9.

Moments later, it was Cecile Ticherfatine's turn to go all in from middle position against Volkov in the blinds on the flop 67K.

Cécile Ticherfatine: AJ
Anton Volkov: 84

After the turn 9, the river J brought a pair to Ticherfatine who doubled up.

Manai Misclicks, Still Takes out Kilennikov

Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

Francesco Manai was under the gun but thought he was the big blind and put in 500. It was ruled he had to call as action went on Alexandr Kilennikov next to act who raised to 1,200.

Manai then moved all in once action folded back to him, and Killenikov slammed in his last 12,000.

Alexandr Kilennikov: AJ
Francesco Manai: AK

Manai had Kilennikov dominated as the flop came 1010Q. "No split," he pleaded, and he got his wish as the 8 fell on the turn followed by the 6 river to send Kilennikov to the rail.

"You just called on purpose, huh," a tablemate said.

"No, no," Manai insisted.

Alalam Gets Paid by Both Cristea and Akinci

Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

Bakhos Alalam, Umur Akinci, and Valentin Cristea had already built a pot of around 25,000 as they went three-handed to the river with the completed board showing 44K95.

Alalam then turned over J10 for a turned flush and Cristea mucked. Akinci flashed KQ before he also surrendered the pot as Alalam moved up past 100,000.
