Del Pino Picks Up Jacks to Bust Rodrigues; Pichierri Cracks Pavlov's Aces in Massive Pot

David Salituro

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Michael Rodrigues moved all in for around 200,000 from the small blind and Omar Del Pino called in the cutoff.

Michael Rodrigues: A♠4♠
Omar Del Pino: J♠J♣

Rodrigues was looking for an ace to overcome Del Pino's jacks but only found a board of 2♦8♠2♣7♠7♥ to send him to the rail.

The real fireworks, though, were taking place at the same time on another table as Alessandro Pichierri and Atanas Pavlov built a pot of more than 500,000 heading to the river.

Pichierri then moved all in on a board of Q♣K♠5♥9♦4♦ from the big blind and Pavlov spent several minutes staring across the table at him before committing his last 380,000 in early position.

Pichierri then showed him K♥K♣ for top set and Pavlov mucked his hand as he got up from his seat. The dealer retrieved A♥A♣ before pushing the massive pot over to Picchieri and his monkey.

Richard Hayes

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Edward Yam moved all in from middle position for 150,000, and Iurii Kondrat followed suit in the next seat, moving his 125,000 stack across the line.

Action folded to Atanas Pavlov in the small blind, who also moved all in, covering both players and folding out the big blind.

Iurii Kondrat: 6♣6♠
Edward Yam: Q♣Q♠
Atanas Pavlov: A♥K♥

Yam looked in good shape with his queens, although he was in the classic race versus ace-king, but the K♠3♠10♣ flop put Pavlov in front with a pair of kings.

The J♥ turn made things interesting as it gave Yam an up-and-down straight draw and meant he now did not want to hit his set, but the 4♠ river was a brick and Pavlov scooped a significant pot while his opponents said their goodbyes and made for the exit.

Sokratis Linaras raised to 40,000 in early position before Jean Delorme moved all in for 175,000 on the button. Andrii Kozlenko called for his last 150,000 in the big blind, while Linaras got out of the way.

Andrii Kozlenko: A♣K♥
Jean Delorme: K♠K♣

Kozlenko picked up a flush draw heading to the river on a board of 9♣6♥4♣3♣, but he missed the 5♥ river and was forced to wait for his payout.

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Jimmy Kebe raised to 40,000 on the button, then called when big blind Vasyl Palandiuk moved all in for 465,000.

Vasyl Palandiuk: 9♦9♣
Jimmy Kebe: J♠J♦

Palandiuk let out a loud groan when he saw he was dominated by Kebe's jacks. The board ran out 10♠7♣Q♦7♠8♠ and Palandiuk stopped to make sure Kebe had him covered before heading for the rail.

At another table, Sylvain Naets shoved for 240,000 in the small blind and Elvis Petcu called in the big blind.

Sylvain Naets: Q♥4♣
Elvis Petcu: A♦2♠

"Could be worse," Naets said heading to the board, which came K♣7♣10♠6♦9♠. Petcu won the pot with his ace-high and Naets also went off to the payout desk.

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

With around 150,000 in the middle on a board of 5♦3♠8♠K♥, Atanas Pavlov bet 116,000 from under the gun and Nicolas Vayssieres called in the big blind.

Both players checked the 10♠ river and Vayssieres showed the 5♠. "Let me see the other one," Pavlov said as Vayssieres revealed the A♦. Pavlov turned over A♥10♥ for a rivered pair of tens to win the pot.

The next hand, Nate Silver moved all in for 150,000 in middle position and Vayssieres called in the small blind. Pavlov then reshoved and Vayssieres snap-called for around 350,000.

Nate Silver: 9♦9♠
Nicolas Vayssieres: A♦A♣
Atanas Pavlov: 10♥10♠

Vayssieres had woken up with aces and held on through the Q♦5♦6♠8♥2♥ board to double up off Pavlov and send Silver to the rail.
