Chernokoz Gets In His Last Chips, Angelov Wonders What Could've Been

David Salituro

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Andrei Chernokoz was down to his last 3,400 and moved all in from the small blind as Bekir Sivritepe and Boris Angelov came along from early position and the cutoff, respectively.

The flop came 9♦10♠K♥ and Sivritepe led out for 3,000. Angelov folded instantly.

Andrei Chernokoz: K♣Q♥
Bekir Sivritepe: Q♣10♦

Chernokoz was ahead with his pair of kings until the turn brought the 10♥, giving Sivritepe trips. The river came the 4♠ and Chernokoz was eliminated.

"I was actually beating you. Pocket fours," Angelov said after the hand.

"That would've hurt," Sivritepe replied.

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

From early position, Ilia Shmelev opened to 1,600, and was called by Christopher Mouawad in the small blind.

But on the flop 6♥9♦3♦, Mouawad took the lead and bet 3,000. A few seconds later, Shmelev raised to 8,000. Mouawad then moved all in, and Shelve called with the smallest stack (17,700).

Ilia Shmelev: K♦K♥
Christopher Mouawad: A♠9♣

Mouawad had top pair, but he ran into Shmelev's kings. So after the turn 4♦ and the river J♦, Shmelev doubled up.

Set For Vatti

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

From the hijack, Loukiana Vatti opened to 1,800, and was only called by Marle Spragg in the big blind.

Both players checked on the flop 6♣10♠3♦. Then on the turn Q♣, Vatti bet 2,500. Spragg quickly check-called, and checked on the river 9♣. Vatti seemed to hesitate between check or bet. "I have a set, but I'm afraid of the flush," she said before checking-back.

Spragg didn't have the flush, so Vatti could show 6♣6♦ and take the pot.

Loukiana Vatti	125,000 125,000	125,000

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

With nearly 15,000 already in the pot, Aliaksandr Shylko and Omur Pehlivan went to the 2♠Q♠A♠ flop where Shylko bet 3,500 from early position.

Pehlivan then moved all in for 11,000 on the button and sent Shylko into the tank. Shylko picked up his cards and held them in front of him as he considered the decision.

"I'll show," Pehlivan assured him.

"I'll show too," Shylko said, exposing the A♦ and tossing it into the muck. Pehlivan obliged and showed A♣Q♦ for top two pair as he took the pot.

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Heads-up on a flop of 8♥8♣A♣, Juan Sebastian Lamprea bet 2,500 from early position before Stefanos Kehagias raised to 7,500 in the hijack.

Lamprea called to the K♠ turn and led out for another 7,000. Kehagias just called this time and the river came the A♥.

Lamprea then moved all in and Kehagias snap-called for his last 20,000, showing A♠10♥ for the rivered full house.

But it wasn't enough, as Lamprea then turned over 8♦8♣ for flopped quads and sent a shocked Kehagias to the rail.

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Bekir Sivritepe opened to 2,000 in the cutoff and the small blind called before Floyd Rosner three-bet to 5,000 in the big blind. Sivritepe four-bet jammed as the small blind quickly folded and Rosner called off with a stack of 22,500.

Floyd Rosner: A♦A♠
Bekir Sivritepe: K♥K♣

There were groans at the table as the ultimate cooler presented itself and the runout of 10♠6♠Q♣4♠J♠ improved Rosner to a flush to earn him the double.

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

After an open in early position, Ibrahim El Mallah three-bet to 7,400 in the hijack. But in the big blind, Ozgun Surer decided to go all in for 8,900 chips. "We have an all in", shouted a player at the table at this point. "We don't care", answered someone else at another table.

The initial raiser folded, but El Mallah called.

Ozgun Surer: Q♥Q♣
Ibrahim El Mallah: K♥K♠

On 7♠3♠10♦6♠8♦, El Mallah remained in the lead and sent Surer to the rail.
