Calum Grant

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Action was caught on the river with the A♣10♥9♣8♣A♠ completed board on show. There was around 105,000 in the pot, and Ramon Colillas overbet to 150,000 from under the gun. After some thinking time, Karlic chucked in a chip to make the call.

Morozovs Jams on Neves

Calum Grant

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Mihails Morozovs opened to 15,000 from the cutoff and was called by 2023 PCA Main Event runner up Pedro Neves from the big blind.

Neves led out for 15,000 on the A♦K♣8♣ flop and was called. He fired a second barrel of 55,000 on the 2♦ turn. Morozovs quickly moved all in as the bigger stack and Neves made the snap-fold.

"I was hoping you had an ace," commented Morozovs.

"I had many outs," replied Neves with a smile on his face.

Gadeikis Puts Miniucchi In The Tank

Andrew Knowles

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

In a heads-up pot with roughly 40,000 in the middle on a board showing 8♦4♦4♣9♠, Darius Gadeikis led out from the big blind to 18,000 and Marcello Miniucchi put in a raise to 55,000 on the button. Gadeikis made the call and the pair saw the 8♣ river.

Gadeikis took a moment before tossing out a bet of 75,000 and Miniucchi went deep in the tank. After using four time bank chips, Miniucchi let his cards go and the pot was shipped to Gadeikis.
