Tishkevich Has Khilko Dominated

David Salituro

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Taras Khilko moved all in for 140,000 in the cutoff, small blind Stanislav Tishkevich reshoved, and the rest of the table got out of the way.

Taras Khilko: A♦8♥
Stanislav Tishkevich: A♥Q♥

Tishkevich spiked a queen on the 10♦Q♦2♥ flop to take a bigger lead in the hand, and Khilko was left drawing dead by the 7♥ turn.

The meaningless river was the 9♣ and Khilko was sent to the rail.

Mehmet Demirkol, Silviu Baltateanu, and Georgios Vakis were also among the recently departed

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Alfred Karam opened the cutoff to 75,000 and got one call from Oleg Ustinovich in the small blind.

The 4♠Q♥4♥ flop hit the felt and action checked over to Karam who continued for 100,000. Ustinovich called.

The 10♣ landed on the turn and Ustinovich checked again. Karam didn't waste any time before putting out another bet of 125,000. Ustinovich thought it over for almost a minute before returning his cards to the dealer. Karam snagged a nice pot with little resistance.

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Stefan Lehner opened to 70,000 on the button, and was only called by Ali Al-Kubasi in the big bling.

Only spades came on the flop 2♠10♠7♠. Lehner made a continuation-bet to 35,000, but Al-Kubasi check-raised to 90,000.

Lehner called, but had to fold on the turn 7♣ after Al-Kubasi moved all in for 2,000,000.

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Alessio Isaia raised to 65,000 in the cutoff, then snap-called when small blind Roman Ialovega moved all in for 285,000.

Roman Ialovega: A♦3♣
Alessio Isaia: A♣Q♣

Ialovega tossed his cards into the middle of the table and stood up from his chair when he found out he was dominated and at risk of elimination. The flop came 5♥7♦6♠, then the 4♠ turn gave him a straight and he sat back down in his seat.

The river was the 9♥ and Ialovega doubled up.

Tom Vogelsang bet 60,000 from the cutoff on a flop of 2♣Q♣9♦ and Ali Al-Kubasi called in the small blind.

Both players checked the 4♠ turn and the river came the 3♥. Vogelsang then bet 250,000 and Al-Kubasi folded.

At the same time on an adjacent table, Luka Bojovic bet 75,000 from the button on a flop of J♥2♥A♦ and Daniel Smiljkovic called in the big blind.

The turn came the Q♠ and Bojovic continued for 255,000. Smiljkovic called once more and the two players checked down the 5♠ river.

Smiljkovic then turned over Q♦2♦ for two pair and Bojovic mucked.

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Simone Andrian: 8♠8♣
Andreas Christoforou: A♠9♣

Andrian was racing for his tournament life but saw the A♣ fall right away, followed by 6♦J♣K♥10♦. He and Christoforou shook hands before Andrian went off to collect his payout.
