Miracle Turn for Mozaffarian

Tyler Foran

Level 29 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Kirill Burtin opened 225,000, and Amir Mozaffarian called in the cutoff.

The dealer spread a flop of J♣4♦2♠, and Burtin checked to Mozaffarian who jammed all-in for 1,065,000. Burtin snap-called and both hands were tossed on their backs.

Amir Mozaffarian: 8♣8♠
Kirill Burtin: J♦10♦

Mozaffarian was in trouble but the 8♦ rolled off on the turn to give him a set of eights. Burtin picked up a flush draw to go along with his pair of jacks but the Q♥ river was a brick.

Kirill Burtin	7,400,000 3,475,000	3,475,000

Level 29 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

All of the chips went in the middle before the flop and it was Sebastiano Bonfiglio at risk for 1,815,000 against Frederik Thiemer.

Sebastiano Bonfiglio: A♥3♦
Frederik Thiemer: A♦J♠

Bonfigilo was dominated and the Q♠9♣7♣ flop wasn't looking promising, but the 3♣ turn gave him a pair of threes to take the lead. The 4♠ river changed nothing and Bonfigilo could remain sitting as he pulled in the pot.

The 9♣ hit the turn, and Patka checked once more before being faced with a bet of 580,000. He made the call.

The Q♠ completed the board on the river, and Patka checked for a final time before Wyrzykiewicz put the pressure on with a bet of 1,530,000. Patka went into the tank for about three minutes before deciding to make the call. Patka tabled A♥9♠, and it was good as Wyrzykiewicz mucked his hand.

Richard Hayes

Level 29 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Ercan Atmaca opened to 230,000 from early position and Alexander Glogar three-bet all in from the next position, announcing the total was 1,800,000.

Atmaca quickly called to put Glogar at risk.

Ercan Atmaca: 10♣10♠
Alexander Glogar: Q♠Q♥

Glogar looked in great shape for a double up but the flop of 10♦2♦8♦ propelled Atmaca into the lead with a set of tens. Glogar did not hold the queen of diamonds and had no outs to the flush draw.

The 8♠ turn improved Atmaca to a full house and the 6♦ river completed the board. Glogar wished his competitors good luck and departed the tournament area.

Level 29 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Eli Danielsson opened 160,000 before Spiridon Apartoglou three-bet 360,000 in the cutoff. The action quickly folded back to Danielsson who eyed Apartoglou's stack and took about a minute before making the call.

When the 9♣4♥2♦ flop hit the felt, Danielsson check-called a bet of 260,000.

The A♣ turn and 7♣ river received checks from both players, and Danielsson tabled A♥5♥, turning a pair of aces. Apartoglou showed A♠10♦, pairing his ace as well but winning with the ten-kicker.

Apartoglou shook his head as he pulled in the pot, "I am not very happy with that hand."
