Rakhimov's Aces Leave Aubakirov With Crumbs

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Azizjon Rakhimov was already all in for a bit over 200,000 from the small blind against Daniyar Aubakirov, who had Rakhimov slightly covered on the button.

Azizjon Rakhimov: A♣A♠All in
Daniyar Aubakirov: A♦Q♣

It was one of the best-possible scenarios for Rakhimov, who was an overwhelming favorite against Aubakirov's ace-queen.

The J♠2♦3♥7♣5♦ runout changed nothing and Rakhimov doubled up while Aubakirov was left with just 15,000 following the clash.

Parahat Nurmuhammedov opened to 10,000 from the cutoff, and was faced with a three-bet jam to 160,000 by Lyudmil Ivanov from the small blind. After quite a bit of thought, Nurmuhammedov made the call with the covering stack.

Lyudmil Ivanov: K♥J♥ All in
Parahat Nurmuhammedov: 10♥10♣

Ivanov was behind in a race, but the J♠6♥4♣ flop put him in front with a pair of jacks, a position which was not reversed by the A♠3♦ turn and river.

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Loukas Nikolaou: J♦10♦ All in
Levente Szabo: A♥K♣

The board ran out 8♦4♠8♠9♦7♣ and Nikolaou rivered a straight to win the pot. He apologized to his opponent, who was reduced to just 4,000.

Babayev Wins Preflop Raise-Fest

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

A preflop raising war culminated in Xiaohu Liu reraising to 100,000, and then facing an all-in jam from Agharazi Babayev for 204,000.

After a significant period of thought, Liu folded despite almost half of his stack already being in the middle, allowing Babayev to take a nice pot down preflop.

Marle Spragg

Marle Spragg opened to 10,000 from middle position and found one caller in Sardor Shagulyamov on the button for a heads-up pot.

Spragg check-called an 11,000 bet from Shagulyamov on the 10♥Q♦3♣ flop and then both players checked on the K♥ turn.

The Q♠ filled the river and Spragg took the initiative with an 11,000 bet of her own. Shagulyamov tossed in a single chip to indicate a call and Spragg tabled Q♣8♣ for trip queens.

"Awww, I had you dead on the turn," Shagulyamov said as he revealed KxJx.

Batumhan Ozturk opened to 8,000 under the gun, and was faced with a three-bet jam to 49,000 from Alexane Najchaus from the next seat.

Action folded to Samy Barka in the small blind, who cold four-bet jammed for 91,000, forcing Ozturk to get out of the way.

Alexane Najchaus: J♠J♦ All in
Samy Barka: A♦K♣

Najchaus was ahead in a race, but that didn't last long after the flop came K♦8♦3♥. Najchaus was down to two outs and neither arrived on the 5♠8♣ turn and river.

Yisha Chen: A♥7♦ All in
Patrick Clarke: K♦10♥

Chen was slightly ahead until the board ran out J♠3♠8♥10♦10♠ to give Clarke a pair of tens on the turn and trips on the river. He won the pot and Chen was eliminated from the tournament.

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

Alisa Sibgatova raised to 10,000 from late position and Jinlong Hu called in the big blind.

The flop came 9♦2♣7♦ and Hu checked. Sibgatova continued for 10,000 and Hu called. Both players then checked it back on the 3♠ turn.

The river was the 3♦ and Hu led out for 15,000, which Sibgatova quickly called. Hu had Q♣9♥ for a pair of nines, two pair with the treys on board. Sibgatova flipped over A♦A♥ for a higher two pair with her pocket aces.
