Ryan Lashmar

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Anton Wigg opened to 50,000 from the cutoff and Viacheslav Goryachev three-bet to 160,000 from the big blind. Wigg called.

The flop came K♥6♠4♦ and Goryachev fired a 140,000 continuation bet. Wigg made the call.

On the Q♥ turn Goryachev moved all in for 315,000 and Wigg snap-called with a covering stack.

Viacheslav Goryachev: A♠Q♠
Anton Wigg: K♠K♣

Goryachev had turned a pair of queens but was drawing dead against Wigg who held top set. The 7♠ river was a formality and Goryachev was sent to the rail while Wigg collected the last of his chips.

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

Andrea Dato opened to 50,000 from under the gun before Nathan Tetart three-bet to 150,000 from middle position. Renat Bohdanov moved all in for 285,000 from the small blind and only Tetart called.

Renat Bohdanov: A♠A♥
Nathan Tetart: A♦10♦

It was a dream spot for Bohdanov, who was reduced to a short stack from the previous hand. The J♦10♥2♥9♠4♦ runout ensured his survival.

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

Aleksandr Faterin put in two green 25,000 chips under the gun attempting to raise to 50,000. The dealer announced it was just a call and Faterin asked the floor to come over and make a ruling.

It was ruled that, since Faterin didn't announce a raise and he used the same denomination chips he would need to just call, his bet would stand as just a call. Andrea Dato also limped on the button and Nathan Tetart checked the big blind.

The flop came 3♣9♥6♠ and action checked to Dato who bet 45,000. Both opponents called to the 6♣ turn as action checked to the A♠ river.

Faterin then fired out 100,000 and Dato and Tetart both quickly mucked. Faterin flashed the A♣ as he took the pot.

Andrea Dato	4,400,000 50,000	50,000

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

Andrea Dato opened to 65,000 from under the gun. Timur Vardanian then gave Dato a speech before making it 185,000. Action folded back to the chip leader and he called.

Dato check-called for 125,000 on the 8♦3♣2♥ flop before the 5♠ turn checked through to the 7♠ river. Dato checked once more, prompting Vardanian to fire for 250,000. Dato waited a few moments before raising to 1,075,000.

It appeared Vardanian was caught speeding and he quickly folded.

Aleksandr Faterin and Renat Bohdanov implored Dato to show the bluff but the Italian kept his lips sealed.

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

Anton Wigg opened to 60,000 from under the gun with A♦4♦ and Nikita Kuznetsov defended from the big blind with 7♥6♠.

The flop came 9♠5♥3♦ giving Kuznetsov a double-gutshot straight draw. Kuznetsov checked, Wigg bet 90,000 and Kuznetsov check-raised to 290,000. Wigg made the call.

Wigg's ace-high was still ahead on the Q♣ turn. Kuznetsov bet 240,000 and this time it was enough to force a fold from Wigg.
