Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

David Kaufmann shipped his stack of 17,000 into the middle from middle position and Roman Gadzhiev called from the cutoff. Roman Nuraev then shoved from the button for his monster stack of around 160,000, and Gadzhiev folded with around 110,000 behind.

David Kaufmann: A♦Q♠ All in
Roman Nuraev: A♣K♦

Kaufmann was in danger of heading to the rail and moved a step closer to elimination on the 9♥4♥A♠ flop. The J♣ on the turn was close, but not close enough for Kaufmann, who had one last shot at survival. Luckily for Kaufmann, the Q♥ dropped on the river just as he was standing up getting ready to leave, which earned him a triple-up.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Mathieu Di Meglio raised to 3,000 first to act and was called by Jason James in the hijack. Sidon Fumagalli shoved for his last 14,500 on the button, which got a fold from Di Meglio and a call from James to put Fumagalli at risk.

Sidon Fumagalli: 5♥5♦ All in
Jason James: 8♦8♥

Fumagalli was in rough shape against James' eights, but the 2♣4♥4♠5♣9♠ runout improved Fumagalli to a full house on the turn to award him the double up.

Guillermo Gordo raised to 3,000 from middle position, Tom Talboom three-bet to 7,000 from the button and Gordo called.

The flop came 8♠6♠J♠ and Gordo led with an all-in shove for 17,500. Talboom made the call and turned over A♦8♣ for a pair of eights. Gordo had 7♣7♠ for a pair of sevens and was behind, but was also drawing to the flush.

The turn came the 2♠ to complete Gordo's flush and the river was the Q♣. Gordo won the pot and doubled up his stack.

Zamani Leaves the Room After Doubling Up Simion

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Kai Cocklin

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

On a flop of 10♣4♠6♣, the action went bet, raise, shove, and call between Andrei Simion and Martin Zamani with the former at risk for his stack of around 65,000.

Andrei Simion: Q♣Q♥ All in
Martin Zamani: 8♣4♣

Zamani had flopped a pair plus a flush draw and had a plethora of outs to scoop the pot. However, none of those outs appeared as the K♠ turn and 5♦ river kept Simion's overpair in the lead, which earned him a double-up.

Despite having around 40,000 chips in his stack, Zamani bolted straight out of his seat with his bag over his shoulder, and headed towards the exit. Perhaps to let off some steam?

Hadi Khordbin raised to 4,000 from the cutoff and [Removed:544] shoved for 29,000 from the small blind. It was folded back to Khordbin, who tanked for some time before slamming down a stack of chips into the middle to indicate a call.

[Removed:544]: A♠7♥ All in
Hadi Khordbin: A♣8♣

Khordbin had made the correct call with his dominating ace, but the J♠7♠6♥3♠6♠ runout improved [Removed:545] to the nut flush for the double up.

Ovidiu Lungu: A♥K♠ All in
Okan Gursan: 8♠8♣

The board ran out 10♥5♠2♠8♦9♦ and Gursan made a set of eights on the turn to seal Lungu's fate. Lungu was eliminated and Gursan chipped up to close to 200,000.
