Dizy and Zamani Chop up Drommel

Dan O'Hair

Level 31 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Martin Zamani opened to 350,000 first-to-act and was called by Dorian Dizy in middle position. Daniel Drommel then shoved for approximately 1,300,000 from the big blind and Zamani called. Dizy then announced he was all in for a bit under four million and Zamani snap-called for a three-way showdown.

Daniel Drommel: 8♠8♥ All in
Dorian Dizy: A♣K♦ All in
Martin Zamani: A♠A♥

Zamani was in great shape to bust both his opponents, but the K♥2♠3♦5♦4♣ runout improved both him and Dizy to a wheel and they split up Drommel's chips.

Martin Zamani	7,500,000 1,880,000	1,880,000
Dorian Dizy	4,600,000 475,000	475,000

Level 31 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Simeon Naydenov was at risk for about 1,800,000 from the button against Guy Cicconi in the big blind.

Simeon Naydenov: 8♦8♣ All in
Guy Cicconi: A♥K♦

It was a classic flip and the 7♠6♠3♠ flop looked promising for Naydenov. The 4♦ fell on the turn, and Cicconi called for a five to chop, but he received an even better card as the A♠ completed the board on the river.

Baltateanu Doubles Through Lin

Level 31 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Ren Lin opened to 300,000 first-to-act and Silviu Baltateanu shoved for his last 740,000 on the button. Lin called and hands were revealed.

Silviu Baltateanu: A♣7♠ All in
Ren Lin: A♥9♦

"Seven!" Baltateanu shouted after seeing Lin's hand.

A seven failed to appear on the Q♣3♠4♣ flop or J♣ turn, however, Baltateanu got his wish as the 7♣ appeared on the river to provide Baltateanu a much-needed double up to keep his main event run alive.

Ren Lin	8,400,000 2,800,000	2,800,000

Level 31 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Alejandro Lococo became short-stacked and he jammed his last 525,000 into the middle from the small blind and Sylvain Berthelot looked him up from the big blind.

Alejandro Lococo: 7♥5♦ All in
Sylvain Berthelot: K♦2♥

Berthelot was a small favorite against Lococo and it stayed that way on the 9♠4♦9♦2♦K♠ runout as Berthelot made two pair to eliminate the start-of-day chip leader.

Sylvain Berthelot	3,100,000 660,000	660,000

Level 31 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

With roughly 1,800,000 in the middle the flop read 10♣4♠2♥. Santiago Nadal was in middle position before the flop and check-called a bet of 450,000 from Dennis Hertel on his left.

When the 8♦ hit the turn, Nadal check-called another bet, this time for 1,050,000.

The 9♥ completed the board on the river, and Nadal took the lead, blasting 1,875,000 across the line. Hertel didn't take much time before releasing his hand.

Santiago Nadal	12,100,000 5,925,000	5,925,000
Dennis Hertel	3,250,000 1,500,000	1,500,000

Francesco La Scala: K♠J♣ All in
Ismael Alvarez: A♦Q♣
