Furuse Wins the Flip

Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Kazuomi Furuse
Kazuomi Furuse

David Cabrera opened to 5,000 in the hijack and Niklas Astedt called in the cutoff before Kazuomi Furuse shoved for 61,000 from the big blind. Cabrera took a peek at the stack of Astedt to his left, then announced a call. Astedt folded.

Kazuomi Furuse: A♠K♣ All in
David Cabrera: 10♠10♣

It was a fair flip that looked to be going Furuse's way after he paired his ace on the 5♦J♦A♦ flop. A 7♦ on the turn did bring around some chop possibilities, but the A♥ river improved Furuse to trips, which earned him a double-up.

Simeon Spasov checked the A♠4♣10♦K♥ turn from the big blind to Dmitrii Kravchenko in the cutoff. Kravchenko made a bet of 12,500 and Spasov called.

Kravchenko then jammed all in for 22,500 on the 3♠ river after another check from Spasov.

Spasov snap-called. Kravchenko tabled A♦K♦ for two pair but it was no match for the Q♠J♠ of Spasov, who eliminated his opponent with a straight.

Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Aleksejs Ponakovs opened to 5,500 from early position, and action folded to Danilo Velasevic in the small blind, who reached for chips and produced a three-bet to 25,000.

Ran Ilani was in the big blind, and he peeked at his cards before producing a cold four-bet jam for 77,000.

Ponakovs quickly folded, and despite it not being that much more for Velasevic to call, he ultimately decided to send his cards into the muck after a reasonable period of thought.

When it folded to Zhendong Li on the button, he shoved for roughly 40,000. Santiago Nadal looked at his cards in the big blind and snap-called with slightly more chips than Li.

Zhendong Li: K♣9♠ All in
Santiago Nadal: Q♠Q♣

Li had ran into Nadal's ladies and needed to find a king. However, the flop of Q♦2♣5♦ gave Nadal a set and left Li needed runner-runner. The 10♠ offered him one of the cards he needed, but the Q♥ on the river gave Nadal quads, and Li was out.

Mustafa Biz opened to 5,500 from middle position, and was faced with a three-bet to 16,000 from Niklas Astedt on the button. Dawid Smolka was in the small blind, and he produced a cold four-bet jam to 130,000.

Biz quickly got out of the way and Astedt made the quick call with the covering stack.

Dawid Smolka: 10♦10♣ All in
Niklas Astedt: K♠K♥

Smolka was in trouble versus Astedt's pocket kings, and no unlikely escape was provided by the J♥9♥4♣5♣7♦ runout.

In a pot that had around 30,000 in the middle on a flop of 8♥3♦8♣, action was picked up with Stephen Song checking from under the gun and Elias Gutierrez firing a bet of 15,000 on the button. Song called.

A Q♥ dropped on the turn and after Song checked, Gutierrez bet 30,000. Song took his time, but eventually called.

The 5♣ completed the board on the river and Song checked for a third time. Gutierrez used some extra time before he knuckled back.

Song showed A♥Q♣ for a pair of queens, and Gutierrez mucked.

"I wasn't folding," said Song.

"It would have been on camera too, I would have snap-called," he added in reference to the TV crew recording the action.

Arriving on a J♣6♠2♥5♥ turn in a pot worth well over 50,000, Aren Bezhanyan checked in the hijack to Leo Worthington-Leese in the cutoff. Worthington-Leese made a bet of 36,000 and Bezhanyan called.

The 6♣ river then completed the board. Bezhanyan knuckled the table again before Worthington-Leese put him all-in for 58,000. Benzhanyan spent nearly all of his time banks before slamming in a call.

Worthington-Leese opened A♠9♠ for an ace-high bluff. Bezhanyan tabled 8♠8♦ for a pair of eights to take the pot and double up.

Mathieu Di Meglio opened to 5,000 from early position and Nikita Kuznetsov three-bet to 17,000 from the small blind. Di Meglio called.

Kuznetsov continued with a bet of 9,500 on the 10♣K♦4♠ flop and Di Meglio called.

Both players checked the 4♣ turn and 7♣ river, and Kuznetsov turned over A♦J♠ for ace-high. Di Meglio showed J♥10♥ for second pair and took down the pot.

Jiaming Zhao was all-in for 28,500 from under the gun and had been looked up by Fabian Gumz in the cutoff.

Jiaming Zhao: A♠10♥ All in
Fabian Gumz: Q♥Q♦

The 4♠5♥3♥ gave Zhao a gutshot, but the J♥ turn removed some outs. The 10♣ river gave Zhao the wrong pair as Gumz's queens scored a knockout.

Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Ognyan Dimov opened the hijack and Santiago Nadal three-bet the button to 14,000. When it got back to Dimov, he shoved for around 36,000, and Nadal called.

Ognyan Dimov: J♠J♣ All in
Santiago Nadal: A♦10♦

Nadal didn't seem like he wanted to call, but must have felt priced in after making the three-bet. Dimov's jacks had no problem holding up as he turned a straight on the Q♥8♠10♠9♣6♣ runout, which earned him a double-up.
