Level 22
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
The short-stacked Giovani Torre opened to 40,000 from middle position and was called by the shorter-stacked Priit Parmasto from the big blind.
Parmasto jammed for 165,000 on the 8♣5♠3♦ flop, and Torre folded.
The following hand, Halil Tasyurek opened to 40,000 from under the gun and was called by Alessandro Minasi and Milos Skrbic from middle position and the cutoff.
Tasyurek checked on the 5♥4♣3♠ flop, prompting Minasi to bet 75,000. Skrbic folded before Tasyurek called.
Tasyurek checked once more on the 8♦ turn, and then called a bet of 200,000 after using up a time bank.
The 7♣ river checked through to showdown. Tasyurek tabled 9♠9♥ and Minasi gave the table a quick tap before mucking his cards.
