Miscikowski Shows One Card

Kai Cocklin

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

There were already over 50,000 chips in the middle on a board of 4♦A♦J♦A♥2♦ when David Miscikowski shoved the river. Gustavo Morales was the player with the decision and had around 40,000 remaining in his stack. Morales was taking such a long time to act that Miscikowski called the clock, and a 30-second countdown was given. The clock hit zero and Morales still hadn't acted, which meant his hand was declared dead and the pot was pushed to Miscikowski.

"Show one?" asked one of the table to Miscikowski.

"Sure, choose one," he replied, then he exposed the K♥ to the table.

The K♠J♣5♣ flop hit the felt, and Sfez checked to Goetz who continued for 2,500. Rezaei raised to 8,500, forcing Sfez to quickly muck his hand and Goetz wasted little time jamming for 22,500. Rezaei's cards shot face down toward the dealer.

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

The flop showed 7♥6♦3♥ and Oleksii Ievchenko bet 6,500 from the small blind. Will Kassouf called from the button.

The J♣ on the turn didn't slow Ievchenko down as he fired a second barrel, this time for 17,200. Kassouf thought it over for a few moments before tossing his cards into the muck.

Dogan Sends Grigoryan Home Via the Backdoor

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

On a flop of 5♠Q♠J♦, Hrayr Grigoryan committed the last of his stack to the pot and Deniz Dogan made the call.

Hrayr Grigoryan: A♠4♠ All in
Deniz Dogan: 8♠7♠

Both players had flush draws which was great for Grigoryan, but not so much for Dogan. A 10♥ on the turn did add a few extra outs for Dogan as he picked up a gutshot, and he spiked it on the 9♥ river as he completed a backdoor straight. Grigoryan couldn't believe it and took a picture of the board before he left the tournament area.

The players went three-ways to the 8♥2♦6♦ flop. Hajjoubi bet 4,000 and got a single call from Sidhu.

The 8♣ was turned and Hajjoubi bet 6,200. Sidhu called and they both checked down the 6♥ river.

Hajjoubi showed 7♦2♥ and Sidhu flipped over J♦9♦, taking the pot with his jack.

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Three players went to the A♠K♥4♣ flop, and Davidi Kitai checked from the big blind to Artsiom Lasouski who fired 1,800 from under the gun. Maria Konnikova was on the button and put in a raise to 6,000, forcing Kitai out of the pot and Lasouski made the call.

The J♠ fell on the turn and Lasouski checked to Konnikova as she continued for 15,000. Lasouski only took a couple of seconds before jamming for roughly 17,000 and Konnikova snap-called.

Artsiom Lasouski: K♦J♥ All in
Maria Konnikova: A♦4♦

Lasouski turned two pair but Konnikova had flopped aces up and the 2♠ river changed nothing, sending him to the rail.

Nasreddine Busts Navarro

Laura Fryer

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Aaron Olechnowicz opened from the hijack and Rania Nasreddine called from the small blind. Lucia Navarro jammed from the big blind and only Nasreddine made the call.

Lucia Navarro: A♦J♥ All in
Rania Nasreddine: J♦J♠

Navarro was at risk of elimination and needed to improve to stay alive.

The 8♦4♠4♥ flop didn't help Navarro and neither did the 2♣ 5♣ runout.
