Hissou Gets Coolered

Level 15 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Sirzat Hissou
Sirzat Hissou

Dimitar Danchev opened to 55,000 in the hijack and Sirzat Hissou reraised to 150,000 in the cutoff. Danchev responded by shoving all in and Hissou called off his stack of around 400,000.

Sirzat Hissou: {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}
Dimitar Danchev: {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}

It was tough sledding for Hissou who was looking for one of the two remaining queens in the deck. The board ran out {j-Spades}{10-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{6-Spades} and Danchev's aces held up to eliminate Hissou.

Belarmino De Souza

After Gregoire Auzoux raised to 50,000 in the cutoff and was called by Nikita Kuznetsov on the button, Belarmino De Souza three-bet all in from the big blind for 345,000.

Auzoux moved in over top and Kuznetsov folded.

Belarmino De Souza: {a-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}
Gregoire Auzoux: {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}

The flop came {a-Spades}{q-Clubs}{6-Spades} immediately bringing De Souza the help he needed, pairing his ace.

The turn brought another with the {a-Hearts} before the {3-Clubs} completed the board, giving the Brazilian a much-needed double-up.

Hissou and Adams Double Up

Level 15 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Sirzat Hissou was the shortest stack in the room and got the last of his chips in the middle for around 200,000. He was called by Steve O'Dwyer in the big blind and they were coin flipping.

Hissou tabled {a-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} while O'Dwyer held the pair with {8-Spades}{8-Clubs}. The board ran out {j-Spades}{4-Hearts}{3-Spades}{k-Clubs}{a-Clubs} and Hissou's two pair was good for a double-up.

On the next hand, Juan Pardo raised to 55,000 in the hijack and Timothy Adams three-bet to 185,000 in the big blind. Pardo four-bet shoved all in and Adams quickly called off his last 620,000 chips.

Timothy Adams: {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}
Juan Pardo: {q-Hearts}{j-Hearts}

The flop came {j-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} to give Pardo the best hand but Adams also picked up a flush draw. The {3-Clubs} on the turn changed nothing but it was the {6-Diamonds} on the river that gave Adams a flush and he also doubled up.

Level 15 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Joao Vieira
Joao Vieira

Steve O'Dwyer raised to 60,000 under the gun and was called by Joao Vieira in the big blind.

On the {3-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds} flop, Vieira check-called a bet of 40,000 from O'Dwyer.

The turn was the {q-Hearts}, and Vieira now check-called a 70,000 chip bet from O'Dwyer, leaving himself just 205,000 behind.

On the {7-Hearts} river, Vieira checked a final time and now faced an all-in bet from O'Dwyer.

Vieira used his last two time banks before deciding to call and it was a good one.

O'Dwyer showed {a-Clubs}{j-Hearts} for ace-high and Vieira turned over {k-Spades}{8-Spades} for a winning pair of kings to earn a double-up.

Pardo Jams on Vieira

Level 15 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Juan Pardo
Juan Pardo

Joao Vieira raised to 60,000 in early position and got called by Juan Pardo in the big blind.

On the {q-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{7-Spades} flop, Pardo checked and Vieira bet 50,000. Pardo responded with a check-raise to 150,000.

Vieira thought for a bit then made the call.

On the {4-Clubs} turn, Pardo used a time bank before opting to check. Vieira checked back and the duo went to the river.

It was the {3-Clubs} and again, Pardo used a time bank before making his action which was to move a stack of T-25,000 chips forward that would cover Vieira's remaining 400,000 chips.

Vieira used a time bank himself before opting to fold, sending a healthy pot across the table to Pardo.

Brewer Loses Back-to-Back All-Ins

Level 15 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Chris Brewer
Chris Brewer

Chris Brewer raised to 55,000 in the hijack and Thomas Muehloecker called on the button. Sam Greenwood shoved all in for 490,000 in the big blind which led to Brewer reshoving over the top. Muehloecker folded and the two hands were tabled.

Sam Greenwood: {k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}
Chris Brewer: {a-Hearts}{10-Hearts}

The flop came {q-Hearts}{7-Spades}{7-Clubs} and Greenwood took the lead by hitting a queen. There was no help for Brewer on the {6-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} runout and he passed over a double-up.

Just two hands later, Muehloecker was all in for around 400,000 with {a-Hearts}{10-Hearts} against Brewer. The board ran out {8-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{3-Spades}{j-Hearts}{2-Hearts} and Muehloecker made the nuts to land yet another blow to Brewer.
