Rosich Stacks Isaia

Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
David Rosich
David Rosich

Alessio Isaia opened to 2,500 from hijack, and received a call from Marius Kudzmanas in the small blind. David Rosich was in the big blind, and he produced a three-bet to 12,200.

Isaia took quite a bit of time thinking, before he pumped it up further to 35,000. Kudzmanas dumped his cards, but Rosich made the call.

On the 7♠3♠3♣ flop, Rosich checked to Isaia. He took some time counting out his chips, before moving all in for around 60,000, with Rosich's calling chip almost beating him into the middle.

Alessio Isaia: A♦K♥ All in
David Rosich: Q♦Q♥

Rosich had set the trap perfectly, and Isaia needed to spike the turn or river to survive. However the 9♦ turn and 7♥ river were bricks to send a massive pot to Rosich.

Farah Calls River Bluff for Huge Double

Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Action was on the turn on a board of 8♦10♥2♦2♣ and Elie Farah led out for 15,000, which Artem Bocharov called.

The river was the 4♦ and Farah checked. Boacharov sensed an opportunity and pushed his stack into the middle, eyeing up what had become a bloated pot well worth fighting for.

Farah was left with a difficult call, but he wasn't ready to give up. He pushed his chips into the middle in a dramatic moment that resulted in Boacharov turning over J♥9♥ for a missed straight draw that he'd turned into a bluff.

Farah shouted out in triumph as he flipped over K♥10♦ for a pair of tens, two pair with the deuces on board, to win the pot and gain a huge double up late in the day.

There were around 50,000 chips in the pot on a flop of J♦4♥6♠ when Daniel Lakerveld bet 8,000, and Abdullah Akbarpoor called.

A 2♣ dropped on the turn and Lakerveld elected to check, and Abbarpoor shoved for around 35,000. Lakerveld quickly folded.

Akbarpoor then showed A♣10♣ for a bluff with just ace-high as he raked in the pot, which brought his stack up to around 100,000.

Andrei Konopelko opened to 2,500 from the cutoff and Nichita Verbitchii defended his big blind.

The K♦8♠5♣ flop was checked through. On the J♣ turn, Verbitchii check-raised to 11,000 versus a bet of 3,000 from his opponent. Konopelko made the quick call.

The 6♥ river was checked through. Verbitchii turned over Q♣9♦ for queen-high, having missed his turned gutshot, and Konopelko took the pot with Q♦Q♥.

Action was on the flop on a board of Q♠K♣6♥ and Kirill Solovev fired out a bet of 20,000 into the pot. Tomas Jozonis responded by moving all in for 36,800 and Solovev didn't have to put too much more in the middle to match the bet.

Solovev made the call and turned over A♠A♥, but Jozonis had Q♣Q♥ for a set of queens to leave his opponent drawing very thin.

Jozonis held as the turn came the 10♣ and river the 3♦. He doubled his stack and Solovev was left looking dismayed, chewing the tassels of his hoody as he mulled over the loss.

Andrzej Powalka raised to 2,500 from under the gun and Elie Farah three-bet from the middle position to 8,000. When the action got back to Powalka, he four-bet to 20,000, and Farah shoved. Powalka snap-called for his stack of 72,700.

Andrzej Powalka: A♠A♦ All in
Elie Farah: A♣K♣

It was a great spot for Powalka in the closing level of the night and he took full advantage of the situation as the 4♣5♠7♠9♠K♦ runout kept his pocket aces in the lead, and earned him a double-up.

Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

There were already around 45,000 chips in the pot on a board of 6♣9♦9♥9♠ when both Leonidas Kostagiolas and [Removed:548] checked.

When the A♣ completed the board, Kostagiolas fired a bet of 15,000, and [Removed:549], who only had around 25,000 behind, thought for around twenty seconds before he called.

Kostagiolas showed K♥Q♥ for king-high, and [Removed:549] scooped the pot with a full house holding 7♦7♣.

Around 24,000 was in the middle on a completed board of 7♣J♣6♣K♣2♦ in a hand between Vladislav Dubanov in early position and Yiannis Liperis in the big blind.

Liperis checked and Dubanov jammed with the covering stack, with Liperis having about 35,000 behind.

Liperis went into the tank, and eventually the clock was called. After about ten seconds had elapsed, Liperis made the call.

Dubanov smiled sheepishly and tried to send his hand into the muck, but as it was an all in and call, both players' cards had to be tabled.

Dubanov showed Q♠8♠ for queen-high, while Liperis had J♦9♦ for second pair jacks, which was good enough on a four-club board.

Iaron Lightbourne remarked, "You're a sick player bro," as Liperis raked in the pot.

Liperis smiled saying, "I thought he might have some bluffs, I just wasn't sure where from."

Felix Schneiders started the hand with a raise to 2,400 from under the gun, and Taago Tamm called from the cutoff.

On the 5♠4♣K♥ flop, Schneiders opted to check, allowing Tamm to bet 2,500, which Schneiders called.

The Q♥ turn brought another check from Schneiders, but Tamm responded with a much larger bet of 14,500. Schneiders took his time, contemplating his next move, before deciding to shove all in, only to be snap-called by Tamm. Tamm revealed 5♦5♣ for a set of fives, but Schneiders had Q♠Q♦ for a set of queens, comfortably ahead.

Tamm needed just one miracle card to stay alive, but the 2♣ river didn't deliver. Schneiders doubled up, boosting his stack while Tamm was left shaking his head in disbelief at how things unfolded.
