Korzinin Doubles Through [Removed:555]

Tim Baker

Level 8 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Vladimir Korzinin got his 146,000 into the middle preflop with [Removed:554] being the player to try and bust him.

Vladimir Korzinin: K♥5♥ All in
[Removed:554]: A♠K♦

[Removed:555] was in great shape to send Korzinin to the rail as he just had to avoid a five or some hearts. However, the 7♠5♣4♥ flop propelled Korzinin into the lead with a pair of fives. There was no help for [Removed:555] on the 8♠ turn or 10♠ river and he had to send roughy half of stack over to Korzinin.

Level 8 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

With around 50,000 in the pot on a flop of Q♦4♠2♠, Milos Skrbic bet 15,000 from the cutoff and Aleksejs Ponakovs called under the gun.

Skrbic bet another 40,000 on the 7♣ turn and Ponakovs again called. The river was the 8♦ and Skrbic moved all in for 141,000.

Ponakovs used up all of his remaining time banks as he tanked for several minutes, eventually putting in the chips to call. Skrbic immediately tapped the felt and turned over A♠K♠ for just ace-high, while Ponakovs had K♣Q♥ for a pair of queens to win the pot and send Skrbic to the rail.

Dimitar Danchev was also recently eliminated by Team PokerStars Pro Elias Gutierrez.

Level 8 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Artur Martirosian raised to 11,000 from the cutoff and Vicente Delgado defended out of the big blind.

After Delgado checked the K♥9♥7♣ flop, Martirosian fired out a bet of 10,000. Delgado then check-raised to 34,000, which Martirosin called.

Both players checked the Q♣ turn for the J♠ to fall on the river. Delgado fired out 35,000 into the middle and then instantly folded when Martirosian put in a raise.

Level 8 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Markkos Ladev raised to 11,000 from the cutoff and was three-bet to 33,000 by Dennis Schrijvers on the button. After the blinds folded, Ladev four-bet jammed for Schrijvers' remaining 170,000. Schrijvers used two of his time-bank cards before eventually making the call.

Dennis Schrijvers: 8♦8♠ All in
Markkos Ladev: A♥J♣

A classic race would determine Schrijvers' future in the event. The flop of A♦7♦10♦ put Ladev ahead with top pair but Schrijvers had picked up a flush draw. The Q♥ turn didn't change anything, but the 4♦ river improved Schrijvers to a flush and he had doubled up through Ladev.

Player	Chips	Progress
Dennis Schrijvers	515,000 315,000	315,000
Markkos Ladev	160,000 80,000	80,000

Level 8 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Three-handed on a board of J♦8♥9♥A♣, Lewis Spencer bet 20,000 from the hijack and Roman Hrabec called in the cutoff, as did big blind Yahor Dambrouski.

The river was the 4♥ and Spencer bet 65,000. Hrabec took a minute before calling, while Dambrouski got out of the way.

Spencer showed 2♣2♥, while Hrabec had A♦8♦ for two pair to win the big pot.

Roman Hrabec	680,000 280,000	280,000
