Seibt Gets There on the Turn to Double

David Salituro

Level 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Three-handed on a flop of A♦J♣8♦, Alexander Seibt bet 14,000 from middle position and Allan Barnes raised to 50,000 in the cutoff. Boris Kuzmanovic folded in the big blind as action went back on Seibt. "What am I doing?" he asked himself before moving all in for 92,000 as Barnes quickly called.

Alexander Seibt: K♦10♦ All in
Allan Barnes: A♥8♥

Barnes was ahead with two pair, but Seibt had straight and flush draws as the J♦ fell on the turn to complete his flush. "Let's go! That's good for poker," he said.

Seibt still needed to dodge the river, but it came a harmless 10♣ and he doubled up. "I spent all break looking up how to play 12 big blinds. I have no idea how to play 30 big blinds," he added.

Level 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Arriving on a turn of 8♣2♥3♠7♣, Valery Yantsevich checked out of the small blind to Yanis Avanesyan in middle position. Avanesyan made a bet of 82,000 into the pot of 200,000, slightly less than half of his stack.

Yantsevich then jammed all in with the covering stack, getting an instant and frustrated fold from his opponent.

Avanesyan flung his cards to the dealer while talking to himself in his native language, exposing the A♥ in the progress. Meanwhile, the pot was shipped to Yantsevich, who crossed the half-million mark.

Level 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Juho Suutari and Sindre Hansen saw a flop of A♠8♠3♣ when Suutari bet 90,000 from middle position, leaving just one 5,000 chip behind.

The floor was called over and they ruled Suutari would only be given 15 seconds on his next decision and would be unable to use any time banks. Hansen then moved all in from the hijack and Suutari tossed in his last chip.

Juho Suutari: Q♥10♥ All in
Sindre Hansen: 9♥9♦

Suutaro needed to improve against Hansen's nines but missed the 2♦ turn and 4♠ river as he was sent to the rail.

Gabriel De Moura: 10♥10♠

The board ran out 3♣5♦9♠5♥8♣ and Moura held with his pocket tens to win the pot, sending Kosk to the rail.
