Vallinas Spikes River to Double

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Action folded to Iurii Saiapin on the button, who opened to 2,400. Jon Vallinas three-bet jammed from the small blind for 17,800, and after some thought, Saiapin made the call.

Jon Vallinas: A8 All in
Iurii Saiapin: 33

Vallinas was behind in a race, and looked to be heading for the exit after the Q65 flop and J turn. However, the A rolled off on the river to give Vallinas the double-up, much to Saiapin's disgust.

Zarco's Pocket Nines Hold Strong

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Javier Zarco opened the action from middle position with a raise to 2,500, which prompted a three-bet from Hannes Jeschka to 7,500. After the action folded back to him, Zarco made the call.

The 65J flop saw Zarco check, and Jeschka followed up with a bet of 4,500, which Zarco called.

Both players checked the 3 turn and the J river, leading to a showdown.

Zarco revealed 99, which was strong enough to force Jeschka to muck his cards.

Ignatov Doused, Mahmoud Ignited

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Levente Szabo raised to 2,400 under the gun. Pavel Ignatov then jammed in his stack of 31,300 from the cutoff. Yassin Mahmoud, who played a huge pile of ten starting stacks, tanked for a bit in the small blind before folding.

Szabo quickly called once the action was back on him, leading to a showdown.

Pavel Ignatov: AJ All in
Levente Szabo: AK

Ignatov stood up as the AK6 flop gave Szabo two pair. The 6 brought some chop outs, but the 8 river was not one of them. Ignatov took his leave and the table was broken shortly after.

Florian Gaugusch: JJ

Binder Wins Small with a Pair of Nines

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Bernhard Binder opened the action from the cutoff with a raise to 2,500, and Giorgiy Skhulukhiya came along with a call in the big blind.

The 9A3 flop saw both players opting to check.

When the 4 turn landed, Skhulukhiya took the lead with a bet of 3,100, which Binder quickly called.

On the K river, neither player decided to fire again, leading to a showdown.

Skhulukhiya revealed 88, but Binder’s 109 was enough to take down the pot, chipping up just a little more.

Lipauka Secures Big Double-Up in Marathon Hand

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Vadzim Lipauka
Vadzim Lipauka

Around 26,000 was in the middle already on a flop of 663, in a hand between Yoel Selles in early position and Vadzim Lipauka in the big blind.

Lipauka led out with a bet of 8,000, only to be faced with a raise to 24,000. After at least four minutes of thought, Lipauka bumped it up again to 40,000.

Selles took a further considerable period of time thinking, barely taking his eyes off his opponent throughout, before making the call.

The 7 rolled off on the turn, and Lipauka pondered his options for quite some time, before moving all in for 55,300. Selles went into the tank, counting out his remaining chips and giving his opponent the eye.

After around three minutes of thought, Selles put in calling chips.

Vadzim Lipauka: QQ All in
Yoel Selles: AK

Lipauka was well ahead, and Selles needed to spike one of his overcards on the river. The 2 river was a brick, and Lipauka took a huge pot, tapping the table in celebration as the river hit.
