Bohm Gets the Maximum

Ollie Garland

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

The pot stood around 70,000 with two players looking at a full board of 8♦7♦K♦4♣K♠.

Dominik Bohm, who was under the gun, moved all in for 78,000. Alik Zazian, in the hijack, tanked for some time before making the call.

Dominik Bohm: A♦9♦ All in
Alik Zazian: K♣Q♥

Zazian's trips were way behind the flopped nut flush of Bohm, earning him the full double.

Player	Chips	Progress
Dominik Bohm	200,000 90,000	90,000
Alik Zazian	50,000 122,500	122,500

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Michele Guerrini opened to 8,000 from middle position. Alexey Losev called in the small blind and Nicolas Betbese defended the big blind.

Both blinds checked the Q♣5♥6♦ to Guerrini who bet 10,000. Both blinds called before they both checked again on the 8♦ turn. Guerrini then bet 23,000 and both blinds called again.

On the A♣ river, both Losev and Betbese checked again to Guerrini who fired a bet of 80,000. Losev folded and Betbese tanked for a moment before moving all in for a little more. Guerrini snap-called and tabled 8♠8♥ for a set. This beat Betbese's Q♦3♦ and he was eliminated from the tournament.

Player	Chips	Progress
Michele Guerrini	215,000 79,000	79,000
Alexey Losev	165,000 86,500	86,500

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Alexandr Khvan raised to 8,000 from under the gun and Uladzimir Zhyharau called in middle position.

The 7♣K♥J♥ flop slowed down Khavn with a check. Zhyharau took the lead for 10,000 and Khvan called.

The 4♥ turn saw a repeat of the action, this time Zhyharau sized up to 31,000.

Much to Khvan's disappointment, the 5♣ river checked to a showdown. Khvan rolled over A♥10♥ having turned the nuts, winning him this pot.

Player	Chips	Progress
Uladzimir Zhyharau	700,000 17,000	17,000

Alexandr Khvan	250,000 66,500	66,500
