Dan O'Hair

Level 28 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Mikhail Shalamov opened to 160,000 from the hijack with A♦J♦ and was called by Oliver Weiss in the small blind with 8♥8♣ and Georgios Tsouloftas in the big blind with A♣4♥.

All three players checked on the K♣4♣6♣ flop and then Shalamov called a 275,000 bet from Tsouloftas on the J♥ turn. Weis folded.

The 7♣ completed the board and Tsouloftas fired 550,000 into the middle with his nut flush.

Shalamov thought better of it and let his hand go — conceding the pot to Tsouloftas.

Damir Zhugralin opened to 160,000 from the button. Oliver Weis and Anton Wigg called from the blinds.

The A♦ came in on the turn, and Weis slowed down with a check. Zhugralin bet 550,000 and Weis called to swell the pot to 2,980,000.

The 7♣ put three clubs on the board, and Weis checked. Zhugralin, with 2,110,000 behind, used a time bank before moving all in, and Weis quickly called as the bigger stack.

Zhugralin tabled 10♠10♦ but was eliminated on the final table bubble as Weis had 6♣4♣ for the flush.
