Marques Calls Down Vaskresenski

Level 6 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Pedro Marques opened to 4,500 from under the gun and Maksim Vaskresenski announced a raise but didn't put enough chips in the pot, leading to a min-raise of 7,000. The action folded back to Marques who called to see a flop of KJ6.

Both players checked and the A landed on the turn. Marques checked again and Vaskresenski tossed in a bet of 12,000. Marques called and the 5 completed the board.

Marques checked once more and Vaskresenski made a bet of 8,000. Marques went into the tank for over a minute before making the call. Vaskresenski showed Q7 for air while Marques held KQ for a pair of kings.

Jiang led out with a small bet of 4,500 and Fitoussi called to see the 10 on the turn. Jiang sized up with a bet of 50,000 on the turn and Fitoussi ripped all in. Jiang called off her stack of 128,500 and the cards were on their backs.

Fitoussi held A10 for two pair but Jiang turned over AQ for the best two pair. The river was the K and Jiang earned a double-up, leaving Fitoussi with just 5,000 chips.

Danchev Turns a Set

Level 7 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Guram Andronikashvili raised it up from under the gun and was called by Dimitar Danchev on the button and both of the blinds. The flop came J92 and the action checked around to the 5 on the turn.

Motoyoshi Okamura was first to act in the small blind and ripped all in for his last 27,000 chips. Adrian Mateos folded in the big blind and Andronikashvili also got out of the way. Danchev, however, snap-called to put Okamura at risk.

Okamura tabled J9 for two pair but Danchev turned a set with 55. The river was the 10 which provided no help to Okamura who hit the rail.
