Ollie Garland

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Xiaosheng Zheng rasied to 1,800 from the cutoff, Deniz Dogan called on the button and Parahat Nurmuhammedov squeezed to 6,000, from the small blind. Both players called.

The 8♥6♦4♠ flop saw Nurmuhammedov continue for 6,000. Zheng called and Dogan moved all in for approximately 40,000. Nurmuhammedov was forced to fold. Zheng spent some minutes in the tank before finally pitching his cards into the muck.

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

The action was caught with around 15,000 in the middle and the full board reading 9♠6♥9♥4♦10♣.

Alper Cankurtaranli, who was under the gun, moved all in for 14,000. Atanas Pavlov, on the button, snap-called.

Alper Cankurtaranli: Q♥Q♠ All in
Atanas Pavlov: 4♣4♠

Cankurtaranli's overpair to the board was behind the turned set of Pavlov, sending him to the rail.

"What a turn!" remarked a neutral player at the table.

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Vladislav Naumov raised to 2,200 from the hijack, the small blind called, as did Nasser Al Mujaibel, in the big blind.

The small blind checked on the 4♦10♠4♣ flop. Al Mujaibel elected to play out of flow, leading for 3,000. Naumov called and the small blind folded.

The 6♦ turn saw Al Mujaibel move all in for 23,000. Naumov thought before making a fairly swift fold.

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Georgina James raised to 6,000 from the hijack, receiving calls from both the blinds.

The 7♠10♣3♣ flop saw the action check to James, who continued for 2,500. The small blind folded and Michel Molenaar, in the big blind, moved all in for 8,000. James called.

Michel Molenaar: 10♦4♣ All in
Georgina James: K♣J♣

Molenaar was ahead with his flopped top pair, however, the Q♣ turn completed James' flush and had him drawing dead. The 8♣ river changed nothing and Molenaar was sent to the rail.

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

The action was caught with around 13,800 in the middle with two players looking at a flop of 5♠10♥9♦.

Nasser Al Mujaibel, in the big blind, bet out 7,500. Ermogenis Asprogenous, in middle position, moved all in for 28,600. Al Mujaibel tanked for some time before finally making the call.

Ermogenis Asprogenous: Q♣J♥ All in
Nasser Al Mujaibel: 9♥8♥

Al Mujaibel was ahead but Asprogenous had outs to survive. The 6♥ turn and A♥ river improved Al Mujaibel to a flush and Asprogenous was sent to the rail.
