Linaras, Talbot Win Big on the River

David Salituro

Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Sokratis Linaras and Vladas Tamasauskas had already built up a massive pot of around 300,000 as they went to the river on a board of K♦Q♠9♠10♥5♥. Linaras then moved all in for 196,000 in the cutoff.

Tamasauskas called under the gun and Linaras showed A♠J♠ for the nut straight. Tamasauskas sent KxJx into the muck for a lower straight as he handed over the double up.

At the same time on an adjacent table, Parker Talbot was sliding forward a bet of 85,000 on a board of 2♣10♠9♣10♣8♥ against Claudio Di Giacomo. Di Giacomo called, then mucked when Talbot showed J♥10♥ for trip tens.

Van der Swaluw Doubles

Richard Hayes

Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Stephane Gabarre opened to 25,000 and Alexander Van der Swaluw three-bet jammed for 100,000. Gabarre made the call to put Van der Swaluw at risk.

Alexander Van der Swaluw: A♠10♠
Stephane Gabarre: A♣8♣

Gabarre remarked he "needed some help" and he looked to have received it after the 8♠K♥Q♦ flop gave him a pair of eights, although Van der Swaluw had the gutshot straight draw.

The 2♠ turn was a brick but the J♥ rolled off on the river to give Van der Swaluw the straight and hand him a lifeline.

David Salituro

Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Action folded to Uk Huh Seong in the small blind who moved all in for 75,000. Mehdi Merai snap-called in the big blind.

Uk Huh Seong: J♥J♣
Mehdi Merai: A♠A♥

Seong could only laugh when he found out the predicament he was in and watched as the 5♥7♦A♦ flop gave Merai top set. "Oh, f**k," Seong said as he began filming the hand. The board ran out 4♦10♠ and Merai sent him to the rail.

Petcu Obliterates Oberliessen

Richard Hayes

Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Cards were on their backs and Ken Oberliessen was at risk, being all-in for around 175,000 versus the bigger stack of Elvis Petcu.

Ken Oberliessen: A♠K♥
Elvis Petcu: A♦A♥

In a cooler Oberliessen's ace-king had come up against Petcu's aces and the 5♠Q♠6♣6♥9♦ runout did not provide him with an unlikely escape.

Darie Puts in a Massive Shove

David Salituro

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Around 180,000 was in the middle as Vlad Darie and Gerard Rubiralta went heads-up to a flop of 3♦8♥4♦. Darie then bet 42,000 from the hijack before Rubiralta raised to 102,000 under the gun.

Darie tanked for several minutes until another player at the table called the clock. Darie then moved all in for 520,000 and Rubiralta quickly folded.

"Ace-king," Rubiralta asked him.

"I have a deuce," Darie replied as he dragged in the massive pot.
