Li Cracks Hartmann

Richard Hayes

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 150,000 ante

Cards were on their backs and stacks were in the middle, with Pascal Hartmann all in for 225,000 and at risk versus Shankui Li.

Pascal Hartmann: A♦J♣ All in
Shankui Li: Q♦Q♣

Hartmann was in trouble with only one overcard versus Li's pocket queens, and although Hartmann flopped top pair on the J♥9♣4♦ flop, he got no further help on the 7♥6♣ turn and river.

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 150,000 ante

Yahor Dambrouski was all-in and at risk with Juan Pardo looking to thin down the field.

Yahor Dambrouski: K♥K♣ All in
Juan Pardo : A♥9♦

Dambrouski was well in the lead, but that soon changed as Pardo made two pair on the 9♣A♦Q♠ flop. Only a king could save Dambrouski, but instead Pardo improved to a full house on the 2♥A♠ runout, which sent Dambrouski to the rail.

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 150,000 ante

Cards were on their backs and stacks were in the middle, with Shankui Li all-in for 785,000 and at risk versus Aliaksandr Shylko, who just covered him.

Shankui Li: A♣K♣ All in
Aliaksandr Shylko: K♦K♥

Li was in trouble with a single overcard versus Shylko's pocket kings, but the ace was in the window on the A♥9♦8♦ flop. Shylko was now drawing thin to two outs or running diamonds, and the 9♣Q♦ turn and river confirmed the pot was heading to Li.

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Diogo Coelho opened to 40,000 from the cutoff and Michel Molenaar defended in the big blind.

On the 10♣9♠8♠ flop, Molenaar check-jammed for 205,000 over a bet of 30,000 from Coelho, who made the quick call.

Michel Molenaar: 9♣4♠ All in
Diogo Coelho: A♠10♥

Molenaar was in trouble with second pair versus Coelho's top pair tens, and the K♠K♦ turn and river confirmed the Dutchman's exit.

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Vladislav Dubanov, opened the cutoff to 40,000 and Aleksei Savenkov shoved from the big blind. Dubanov had 435,000 total to start the hand, and eventually made the call.

Vladislav Dubanov: A♠J♠ All in
Aleksei Savenkov: A♦2♣

Dubanov just needed to hold to secure his double-up, and did maintain his lead on the 7♣5♦5♣ flop. However, hopes of a double-up evaporated somewhat on the 7♦ turn as both players made two pair with an ace kicker. However, the J♣ on the river gave Dubanov a bigger two pair, and he boosted his stack to around 900,000.

Vladislav Dubanov	900,000 600,000	600,000
Aleksei Savenkov	100,000 310,000	310,000

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Lars Kamphues raised to 40,000 from early position and Manuel Fritz three-bet to 90,000 from the button. After it folded back to Kamphues he four-bet to 400,000 with 30,000 behind. Fritz instantly shoved and Kamphues called.

Lars Kamphues: 10♦10♣ All in
Manuel Fritz: A♣K♥

It was a classic race until the dealer put out the flop of 10♥J♣8♥ to give Kamphues a set. The rest of the board ran out K♣3♠ and Kamphues doubled through Fritz.

Dubanov Can't Keep Chips For Long, Nemeth Benefits

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Kai Cocklin

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

There were already around 500,000 chips in the pot on a board of Q♠Q♣2♣K♥10♥ when Vladislav Dubanov announced a bet of 380,000 into Andras Nemeth.

Nemeth was taking his time and used some time-bank cards while he tried to piece together the puzzle, and eventually dropped in the call.

Dubanov rechecked his cards and decided he didn't want to reveal what he had, so mucked his cards, and Nemeth won the pot without showing his cards.
