Ollie Garland

Level 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

After a preflop raising war involving multiple players, Edgar Ishida, on the button, found himself all in and at risk for his effective stack of 203,000 against Alexis Delestre, in the hijack.

Edgar Ishida: A♣K♣ All in
Alexis Delestre: Q♦Q♥

This classic tournament flip fell in the favor of Ishida as the flop landed 6♦A♥K♠, giving him two pair. The 6♠ turn and 5♥ river changed nothing, sending this monster pot to Ishida.

Level 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

With around 35,000 in the middle, Tomasz Chmiel checked under the gun on a flop of 6♣5♠9♠. Juan Lopez made a bet of 12,000, after which Chmiel shoved all in for 48,000.

Lopez made a quick call with the covering stack and the cards were turned over.

Tomasz Chmiel: A♠10♠ All in
Juan Lopez: J♠J♣

Lopez's jacks were still in the lead, but Chmiel locked up the pot with a flush on the Q♠ turn. The A♥ river was meaningless and Chmiel doubled to a six-figure stack.

Level 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

The action was caught as Mikael Hen, in middle position, was all in and at risk for his effective stack of 35,000 against Joseph Hernon, in the cutoff.

Mikael Hen: 8♥8♠ All in
Joseph Hernon: A♠J♦

The dealer spread the K♦6♥10♦ flop giving Hernon a straight draw. The Q♣ turn completed Hernon's Broadway draw and Hen was drawing dead. The 3♦ river confirmed his departure.

Level 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Mirco De Martini had raised to 8,000 in early position and Oleksandr Filipchuk made the call in middle position. Mathieu Di Meglio then pushed all in for around 25,000 from the cutoff, after which De Martini reshoved.

Filipchuk's stack of 100,000 was covered by De Martini, and he thought it over for a bit before announcing, "bad call," as he slid his stack forward.

Mathieu Di Meglio: Q♥9♥ All in
Oleksandr Filipchuk: 3♥3♦ All in
Mirco De Martini: A♣9♣

Filipchuk's threes remained ahead on the 8♣8♥6♣5♦ runout, although De Martini picked up a lot of outs. One of them was the 10♣, and it came on the river to give him a flush for the winning hand, knocking out two players.
