Level 15 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Fabiano Kovalski and Martin Zamani built a pot of around 120,000 as they saw the turn on a board of 7♠6♣10♦A♦. Kovalski then bet 70,000 from the button and Zamani called in the big blind.

The river was the 9♥ and Zamani checked to Kovalski, who this time checked back. "Ace," Zamani announced, but Kovalski showed 10♣9♣ for two pair to win the pot.

"That would've been fun," Zamani said after the hand.

A few hands later, Kovalski bet 85,000 on the turn with the board showing 9♣Q♠9♠4♣ and Chin Wei Lim called in the big blind.

The river was the 3♣ and Kovalski moved all in. Lim burned through some of his time banks before folding for his last 180,000.

Joris Ruijs opened from middle position to 12,000. David Coleman called on the button and Santhosh Suvarna and Choon Tong Siow defended the small and big blind.

The monotone 3♠8♠6♠ flop was checked to Ruijs who bet 12,000. Coleman folded before Suvarna made it 45,000. Siow folded but Ruijs made the call.

Suvarna check-called a 35,000 bet on the A♥ turn. The 10♠ brought in a four liner to a spade flush but was checked down. Suvarna tabled K♠3♥ for a king high flush. Ruijs grimmaced before mucking his cards.

Action folded around to Ottomar Ladva who opened from the cutoff to 25,000. Martin Zamani wasted little time in moving all in from the button. The blinds folded and Ladva made the call.

Ottomar Ladva: A♥K♣All in
Martin Zamani: A♦7♠

"Seven is always coming" said Zamani, and he was right, the 7♣2♠A♣ flop gave him two pair. The 9♦ changed nothing for Ladva but the 9♣ river counterfeit Zamani's two pair through Ladva's king kicker which secured the double up.

The next hand, Byron Kaverman raised to 25,000 on the button and Biao Ding moved all in for 197,000 in the small blind. Barbero reshoved for 240,000 and Kaverman tanked for a few seconds before folding.

Biao Ding: A♦4♦ All in
Nacho Barbero: 7♦7♠

Barbero spiked a set on the 8♦J♥7♥ flop and Ding headed to the rail once the 4♠ and 10♥ completed the board.

"If that hand didn't happen, you would have the same chips and no bounty," Zamani told him.
