Dubanov Avoids the Chop, Savenkov Left Short

Kai Cocklin

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

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.

Richard Hayes

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 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.

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

Andras Nemeth opened the button to 35,000 and Sebastien Compte called out of the big blind.

They went to a flop of A♥5♠K♠ where Compte check-called a bet of 35,000 from Nemeth to the Q♠ turn. Again, Compte went into check-call mode when Nemeth fired 75,000.

On the 5♣ river, both players elected to check and Compte showed K♣8♣ for a pair of kings, but he was pipped by the A♦J♣ of Nemeth, who had flopped a pair of aces.

Andras Nemeth	1,450,000 200,000	200,000

After Coelho checked the J♦2♦J♠ flop, Mandara bet 15,000. Coelho check-raised to 50,000 and Mandara called.

Both players checked the 2♠ turn for the 9♦ to come on the river. Coelho led out for 95,000 and Mandara quickly called.

Coelho flipped over K♠10♠ for king-high and Mandara took down the pot with K♥K♣.

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

Simon Lofberg opened to 30,000 from the cutoff, and Jessica Teusl three-bet jammed to 115,000 from the button. Hannes Jeschka was in the big blind, and he four-bet to an amount covering Lofberg, who quickly got out of the way.

Jessica Teusl: A♦Q♦ All in
Hannes Jeschka: K♠K♣

Teusl had got unlucky to run into a monster behind her, and the 9♥8♠6♥J♣8♣ runout confirmed her departure.

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

Jessica Teusl limped in from the small blind and Stoyan Madanzhiev checked his option from the big blind.

They went to a flop of 6♦J♣A♥, which was checked through to the 2♣ turn. Teusl bet 25,000, and Madanzhiev called.

A 7♣ dropped on the river and Teusl bet 30,000, then Madanzhiev made it 100,000. Teusl quickly called.

Madanzhiev showed 10♣9♣ for a flush, and Teusl flashed 6♣5♣ to the table for a smaller flush.
