Joshi Spikes the Turn on Nikiforov, Nahm Initially Rues His Fold

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Stephen Nahm raised to 1,800 in early position and Sachin Joshi called on the button. Ilya Nikiforov then three-bet to 11,000.

Nahm folded, but Joshi moved all in for 30,000 and Nikiforov snap-called.

Ilya Nikiforov: AK All in
Sachin Joshi: 99

The 6A4 flop gave Nikiforov a pair of aces and the lead, but Joshi hit the 9 on the turn to make a set. The river was the 5 and Joshi secured the pot. The stacks were counted down and he barely had Nikiforov covered, sending him to the rail.

"I had sixes. If we played that shit out you probably triple up. I saw the flop and was like, f**k," Nahm told Joshi after the hand.

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Sam Grafton
Sam Grafton

Before the hand commenced, there was some lighthearted banter at the table, with everyone in good spirits and sharing laughs.

Paul Höfer, having just joined the table due to his previous one breaking, went all in with his last 17,000 from the small blind after Sam Grafton raised to 1,600 from the cutoff.

"You can't bust me," joked Höfer towards Grafton.

"Yes, I can. I have a good hand," Grafton replied confidently, making the call as the hand went to showdown.

Paul Höfer: 99All in
Sam Grafton: AJ

"Good read," remarked Höfer, still maintaining a jovial mood.

"It is indeed," agreed Grafton.

"Maybe you should play the €100k tournament," Höfer quipped, eliciting laughter from the entire table, including Grafton.

The board revealed 3K2JQ prompting Grafton to jest, "Who's laughing now?"

Höfer graciously wished Grafton good luck as he left the table, demonstrating his sportsmanship.
