Guedes Doubles Through Petleshkov

Richard Hayes

Level 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Viliyan Petleshkov opened to 16,000 from the cutoff and was met with a three-bet to 48,000 by Jonathan Guedes on the button. Petleshkov called.

On the 7♠10♠5♣ flop, Petleshkov check-jammed for 225,000 versus Guedes bet of 35,000, and Guedes made the quick call, with Petleshkov having slightly more.

Jonathan Guedes: K♥K♦ All in
Viliyan Petleshkov: K♣10♣

Petleshkov had top pair but had run into the overpair kings of Guedes, and his double-up was confirmed by the 2♥ turn and 5♥ river.

Petleshkov, who was left with 5,000, was seen departing the table shortly after.

Daniel Oterhals opened to 16,000 from middle position and received calls from Victor Castanedo on the button and Danut Chisu in the small blind before Demosthenes Kiriopoulos shoved for roughly 275,000 from the big blind. Oterhals made the call with a covering stack and the other two players got out of the way leaving Kiriopoulos at risk.

Demosthenes Kiriopoulos: A♠J♥ All in
Daniel Oterhals: A♥Q♦

The board ran out Q♣5♣A♣6♦8♥ giving Oterhals aces up to send Kiriopoulos to the rail and drag in a massive pot.

Kevin Abecassis moved all in for 100,000 in the cutoff and Pieter De Necker called in the hijack.

Pieter De Necker: A♣K♦

The flop came K♣9♣K♥ to give De Necker trips and the lead, while Abecassis missed the 6♠ turn and 5♦ river on his way to the rail.

At another table, Victor Castanedo raised enough to put big blind Danut Chisu all in, and Chisu called for 62,000.

Danut Chisu: K♠9♦ All in
Victor Castanedo: J♠10♠

Castanedo picked up a straight draw on the 8♠6♦7♣ flop, but Chisu dodged the 6♥ turn and K♣ river as he finished with two pair to double up.

Mathieu Goncalves: J♣J♥ All in
Antonio Rutigliano: Q♦Q♣ All in

Rahal Celebrates Too Early

David Salituro

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Samir Rahal was all in for 111,000 from middle position and up against Javier Caballo in the cutoff.

Samir Rahal: A♣Q♠ All in
Javier Caballo: J♥J♦

Rahal was racing for his tournament life as the flop came 7♠A♦8♣. "Yes. So far," Rahal yelled out as he hit top pair. The turn was the 5♣ to keep him in the lead.

His optimism proved short-lived, however, as Caballo spiked the J♠ on the river to make a set and send Rahal to the rail.
