Zhechev Runs Into Kings

Ollie Garland

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Stephen Song raised to 60,000 from the hijack, Jelle Moene three-bet to 240,000 from the small blind and Ivan Zhechev, in the big blind, went deep into the tank. Zhechev burnt through some timebanks before moving all in for 395,000. Song folded and Moene called.

Ivan Zhechev: A♠J♦ All in
Jelle Moene: K♠K♣

Zhechev had run into a monster and the 7♠7♥2♥Q♦4♦ couldn't materialise any of his outs, sending him to the rail.

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

In a raised pot to a flop of A♣4♥4♦, Javey Timmer checked from the hijack to Stephen Song in the cutoff. The chip leader bet 50,000 and Timmer called.

The turn brought the 2♠ and Timmer checked again. Song now bet 200,000 and again Timmer called.

On the river 9♥, Timmer checked a final time, and this time Song loaded up a bet of 1,050,000.

Timmer didn't wait long before sliding his cards back to the dealer.

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Yunkyu Song raised to 60,000 in the cutoff and was three-bet to 150,00 by Fabiano Kovalski on the button.

"This is so sick," said Song as he stood up and put on his jacket. He then put in the rest of his 875,000 chips and was quickly called by Kovalski, who covered him slightly.

Yunkyu Song: 9♠9♥ All in
Fabiano Kovalski: 9♦9♣

The 4♠2♦3♠ flop gave Song a chance to scoop the pot, with the A♠ turn leaving that hope alive.

However, the 4♥ river bricked. The dealer chopped the pot and the next hand was dealt.

Ivan Zhechev raised to 60,000 from the hijack, Javey Timmer three-bet to 135,000 from the button and Zhechev called.

The Q♥8♥10♥ flop saw Zhechev check-call a bet of 75,000 from Timmer.

The 9♥ turn checked through to the 4♣ on the river. Zhechev took the lead for 185,000 and Timmer flat called. Zhechev showed A♣8♣, which was behind the turned nut flush of Timmer, as he rolled over A♥J♦.

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

After a stretch of eight straight hands without a flop at Table 3, business picked up in a big way as after Nick Palma opened to 60,000 from the button, Oscar Mas moved all in for 460,000 from the small blind.

Javey Timmer was in the big blind and asked for a count. He used a time bank and then moved all in for just under two million.

Palma quickly folded and Mas was at risk.

Oscar Mas: 7♥7♣ All in
Javey Timmer: A♠A♥

"They say it's always coming seven in Barcelona," commented Palma before the dealer spread the flop which indeed came as he predicted, falling 8♠7♠4♣.

Mas was in cruise control until the A♣ fell on the turn gave Timmer a set of aces to regain the lead.

The 10♦ completed the board and Mas was eliminated in heartbreaking fashion.
