Ollie Garland

Level 5 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Alex Kulev raised to 4,500 from the cutoff, Chris Brewer called on the button and Santhosh Suvarna three-bet jammed for 28,000 from the small blind. Kulev called and Brewer folded.

"Fair fight," exclaimed Kulev as the cards were tabled.

Santhosh Suvarna: 10♦10♥
Alex Kulev: A♥J♠

This flip fell in the favor of Kulev as the flop landed 2♣Q♠J♦. The 4♣ turn and 7♣ river sealed Suvarna's fate and he was sent to the rail.

On another table, Felipe Boianovsky took his seat with a fresh stack of 100,000.

Steve O'Dwyer: A♥2♥
Sam Greenwood: 7♦5♦

O'Dwyer's top pair was good enough to land him the full double up.

Action folded around to Joakim Andersson in the small blind who called. Thomas Santerne checked his option from the big blind.

Andersson then led for 16,000 on the 6♦ river. Santerne went into the tank and burned a time bank. He found the call and Andersson tabled J♥4♥ but Santerne scooped the pot with A♥3♠ for top pair.
