David Salituro

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

Marius Kudzmanas raised to 50,000 in the hijack and Jiri Kocab called in the small blind before Preben Stokkan moved all in for 375,000 in the big blind. Kudzmanas folded, but Kocab called to put Stokkan at risk.

Preben Stokkan: A♣J♥
Jiri Kocab: 7♦7♣

The flop came 9♥K♣J♠ and Stokkan took the lead with a pair of jacks. The A♦ turn improved him to two pair, while the Q♥ river sealed his double up.

Cheng Zhao raised to 50,000 from the button, then Takumi Odani three-bet shoved for 300,000 from the small blind. Jiri Kocab hesitated, but eventually folded. And he was right to do so as Zhao snap-called with the best hand possible.

Takumi Odani: A♦9♦
Cheng Zhao: A♥A♣

Odani found a flush draw on the 6♦Q♦3♣ flop, but Zhao hit a set on the turn A♠. The river 9♠ didn't change anything, and Odani was eliminated.

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

Heads-up in a blind versus blind battle, Grigorii Rodin bet 75,000 on a flop of 3♦10♥9♣ and Cesar Garcia called.

The turn came the 2♣ and Rodin bet 250,000. Garcia again called and the A♥ fell on the turn.

Rodin then attempted to bet 645,000, leaving one 5,000 chip behind, before the floor made him put in his last chip as well. Garcia tanked for a minute before calling.

Rodin showed 10♣9♠ for two pair and Garcia's J♠10♦ hit the muck as Rodin doubled up.

"Nice one, sir," tablemate Umberto Ruggeri told Rodin.

After Umberto Ruggeri opened to 50,000 from the hijack, Jon Kyte three-bet to 160,000 from the cutoff.

Marle Spragg seemed interested on the button, so she spread a few time bank cards in front of her. Only one was needed before she four-bet to 300,000.

The blinds quickly folded, as well as Ruggeri. Kyte looked at his cards one last time, and folded too, while Spragg threw J♥J♠ face up and scooped the pot.

The turn was the 7♥ and Jakovljevic checked to Kudzmanas who bet 50,000. Jakovljevic then raised to 175,000 and Kudzmanas used two time banks before calling.

Jakovljevic again checked the 10♠ river and Kudzmanas took his time before betting 200,000. Jakovljevic quickly folded.
