Level 27 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Ehsan Amiri moved all in for 240,000 from the small blind and Alex Glogar called in early position.

Ehsan Amiri: K♥10♥
Alex Glogar: 9♥9♠

The 7♣7♦5♥Q♣7♥ board gave Glogar a full house and was no help to Amiri as he was sent to the rail.

At the same time on another table, Alessandro Pichierri already had his short stack in the middle as Renji Mao and Sonny Franco went to the turn with around 500,000 in the pot. Franco bet 250,000 from the big blind on a board of 6♠4♥10♣6♣ as action went on Mao in the cutoff.

"I fold this one," Mao said as he gave up his hand. Franco then showed K♠10♦ for two pair, while Pichierri had A♠J♥. The river was the 7♠ and Franco finished off Pichierri.

"Okay good," Mao said after the hand.

Level 27 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Claas Stegebrecht was in the big blind and a number of opponents had seemed to be contemplating raising, before ultimately opting to fold, giving him a walk in the big blind.

Segebrecht looked down at his cards, started laughing and turned over K♥K♣, causing much mirth at the table.

As Segebrecht told PokerNews "I should never have looked," which as all poker players know is rule number one when given a walk.

Level 27 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Mathew Frankland moved all in from the small blind and Daniel Kyosev called on the button.

Mathew Frankland: K♥Q♣
Daniel Kyosev: A♠3♥

"How about a king. Then an ace. I changed my mind, I want to win," Kyosev said heading to the K♣3♠2♦ flop, which gave Frankland top pair. The turn was the 5♠ to give Kyosev a straight draw, but he missed the J♦ river and Frankland doubled up.

"330 I think," tablemate Parker Talbot said as the dealer counted out Frankland's stack.

"340 actually," Frankland replied.

"Holy f**k dude, you're rich," Talbot joked.

"I run so bad," Kyosev added as he watched the pot go to Frankland.

Player	Chips	Progress
Daniel Kyosev	3,500,000 1,200,000	1,200,000

Level 27 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Naim Ouachekradi opened to 130,000 first-to-act and was called by Sun Yunsheng in the cutoff and Andras Matrai in the small blind.

Matrai checked to Ouachekradi on the 3♦6♦7♥ flop and he continued for 280,000. Yunsheng got out of the way, but Matrai then check-raised to 720,000 — sending Ouachekradi deep into the tank.

The clock was eventually called by a tablemate and the floor gave Ouachekradi a 30-second countdown.

Ouachekradi failed to act before time ran out and his hand was announced dead, sending the pot Matrai’s way.

Player	Chips	Progress
Andras Matrai	3,350,000 2,350,000	2,350,000

Vayssieres Eliminates Kebe on the River

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Dan O'Hair

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

Nicolas Vayssieres opened to 160,000 from under the gun and Jimmy Kebe shoved for his last 650,000 on the button. Action folded back to Vayssieres, who called to put Kebe at risk.

Jimmy Kebe: A♠K♥
Nicolas Vayssieres: A♥J♥

Kebe was the favorite to double with Big Slick, but the 5♦5♥7♠A♣J♣ runout paired Vayssieres’ jack on the river to end Kebe’s run.
