Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

On a flop of 6♠7♣6♣ in a single-raised pot, Manuel Carvalho check-shoved his stack of 36,000 over a continuation-bet of 15,000 from Marios Stefani. After just a few seconds, Stefani called which put Carvalho at risk.

Manuel Carvalho: 9♦7♠ All in
Marios Stefani: A♠10♥

Carvalho was well in the lead and even removed some of Stefani's outs when the 8♥ fell on the turn. However, the disastrous A♣ landed on the river, which sent Carvalho packing.

Spragg and Hand Head Home

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Leo Worthington-Leese raised to 12,000 under the gun. Pablo Minguez called in the seat next over before the action folded to PokerStars' Benjamin Spragg in the small blind.

He was down to 50,000, which he promptly put in the middle. Worthington-Leese looked him up before Minguez quickly got out of the way.

Benjamin Spragg: K♦K♣ All in
Leo Worthington-Leese: J♥J♣

"What a scorcher," Worthington-Leese said regarding Spragg's hand.

It started to look like a comfortable double-up for Spragg when the 5♣A♦4♥ flop and 5♥ turn posed no threat. The river came the J♠, however, giving Worthington-Leese a full house to send out Spragg.

"That's also a scorcher," Worthington-Leese noted.

The pair exchanged some banter before Spragg joined his fellow Red Spade Fintan Hand, who had busted some minutes earlier, on the rail.

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Action folded to Pablo Brito on the button, who decided to size up with his open, pumping it up to 36,000. Nicolas Betbese was in the small blind, and he produced a three-bet to 78,000. After a long period of thought, Brito, with about 160,000 behind, just called.

On the 10♠7♦3♥ flop, Betbese took his time before moving all in with the covering stack, sending Brito into the tank. After around two minutes of thought, Brito made the call.

Pablo Brito: A♣Q♦ All in
Nicolas Betbese: K♠K♥

Brito was in big trouble with ace-high versus Betbese's cowboys, and the 8♥10♦ turn and river were bricks to send Brito to the exit.

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Peter Charalambous sat in the big blind an all-in triangle in front of him and his stack of 96,000 in the middle. Shankui Li looked him up in the cutoff, leading to a showdown.

Peter Charalambous: Q♥Q♣ All in
Shankui Li: 7♥7♦

"Ah, shit," Charalambous said as the flop came out 6♣7♠8♠. Li had flopped a set, leaving Charalambous with two outs in the deck.

They did not arrive on the K♦ turn or 8♥ river and he said his goodbyes to his former tablemates. Meanwhile, Li received his chips as his stack ascended to more than 100 big blinds.

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

On a flop of K♠4♦6♠, Pouya Ranjehdel had fired 14,000 and Davide Nughes shoved for 120,000. "I don't think I can fold this hand," said Ranjehdel, before he stuck in the call.

Davide Nughes: K♣J♣ All in
Pouya Ranjehdel: 7♠5♠

It was clear to see why Ranjehdel couldn't fold his hand as he had both straight and flush draws to try and crack the top pair of Nughes. Ranjehdel only needed one shot as the 4♠ on the turn gave him a flush, and Nughes couldn't boat up on the 2♥ river.

Serhii Kolosov: A♠A♣ All in
Kevin Hasler: 3♠3♥

Kolsov held across the 10♥K♥9♣K♠Q♠ runout to secure the double up. One of his tablemates remarked "you've played two hands, aces and kings."

Kolsov simply replied, "why not."

Peternell Sets Trap

Richard Hayes

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Lyudmil Ivanov opened to 12,000 under the gun and received a call from Silvia Peternell in the cutoff. Tom Vogelsang was in the small blind, and after some thought, he three-bet jammed with a stack covering both of his opponents.

Ivanov quickly folded but Peternell got her 170,000 total stack into the middle.

Silvia Peternell: A♣K♥ All in
Tom Vogelsang: A♦J♦

Peternell had Vogelsang's ace dominated, and her double-up was confirmed by the 8♥5♦4♠Q♥7♣ runout.
