Troyanovskiy Gets a Turn Shove Through Two Players

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Vladimir Troyanovskiy
Vladimir Troyanovskiy

Vladimir Troyanovskiy raised from middle position to 4,000 and Shankui Li called from the hijack. Tian Hao Zheng called on the button, and Fabian Gumz completed from the big blind.

The four went to a flop of AJ2 where Gumz checked, and Troyanovskiy fired 8,000. Li and Zheng called, and Gumz folded.

When the 2 dropped on the turn, Troyanovskiy shoved for 26,000. Li thought it about for few moments before he folded, and Zheng also mucked his cards.

Di Meglio Busts to Chouity

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Action was caught with cards on their backs, with Mathieu Di Meglio all-in for around 75,000. Nicolas Chouity was the player looking to bust him and had Di Meglio narrowly covered.

Mathieu Di Meglio: AxQxAll in
Nicolas Chouity: AxKx

Chouity paired up on the KJ4 flop to remain ahead while Di Meglio had a draw to Broadway. The J turn and J river gave Chouity a full house and Di Meglio left the table after it was confirmed he had the slightly smaller stack.

Can Miral Win? Yes He Can

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Heads up to a flop of 24Q, Milos Skrbic bet 12,000 from the big blind against Can Miral in the cutoff. Miral called to the K turn, which was then checked by both.

Easy Come, Easy Go For Valls as Miegel Doubles With Aces

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Jakob Miegel
Jakob Miegel

Josep Valls had just doubled up, but couldn't keep his new-found chips for long after a clash with Jakob Miegel to his left.

The full board read 256K6 and all the chips were already in the middle with Miegel's AA being good the pot, as Valls cards were mucked. Some of the TV crew told PokerNews that Valls had pocket nines, which were no good against the pocket aces of Miegel.

With that pot, Miegel jumps up to around 170,000, and Valls drops back to 80,000.

James Uses Live Reads and Puts on His Cape Against Solovev

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Bobby James
Bobby James

Bobby James limped in from the small blind and called when Kirill Solovev made it 7,000 from the from the big blind.

James check-called bets of 8,000 and 15,000 on the flop and turn for the final board to read A76AQ.

James, with around 100,000, behind, checked for a third time, and then went deep into the blender after Solovev moved all in for 34,500.

James asked for the pot to be spread while he mulled over his options, cutting out calling chips from his stack. Ultimately, he settled on a call and Solovev could only roll his eyes in frustration.

James tabled 87 and Solovlev left his seat, leaving his cards face down. The dealer turned them over and revealed 98.

James explained his call to PokerNews. Apparently, Solovev had just had aces cracked in a small pot in the previous hand and appeared tilted. James also commented on how Solovev was betting, almost splashing the pot each time. Additionally, some other live reads helped James make the light call.

James has had a fruitful time at EPT Cyprus, notching 19th and 12th place finishes in the Eureka Main Event and High Roller. Between the two deep runs, James also picked up a Spadie trophy after he triumphed in the $1,100 8-Game for $11,200.

Barka Puts Rajkovic in Blender

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

A preflop raising war between Samy Barka in the hijack and Adi Rajkovic in the big blind had culminated in Barka jamming for 131,000 over a raise to 38,000 from Rajkovic.

Rajkovic went into the tank, looking pained while counting out his chips and periodically stealing a glance at his opponent.

Ultimately, after around three minutes of thought, he decided to wait for a better spot and sent his hand to the dealer, tapping the table to his opponent.

Corion Makes the Right Call

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

There were already around 70,000 chips in the pot on a full board of A3466 when Viktor Ustimov shoved the river. Phillip Corion was the player facing the decision and with his stack of 43,500, he eventually made the call.

Ustimov tabled 55 for a pair of fives, but Corion made the right call with A8 for a pair of aces to earn the double-up.
