Richard Hayes

Level 35 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Action folded to Jack Sinclair in the small blind, who completed, with Ryan Plant checking his option in the big.

On the A♠J♣7♦ flop, Sinclair led out with a bet of 600,000, which failed to shake off Plant. The 8♠ river was checked through.

On the K♥ river, Sinclair check-folded versus a bet of 925,000 from Plant.

Alexantr Spatharis opened to 1,100,000 from the cutoff, and was met with a three-bet jam to 6,950,000 by Matthew Micallef on the button. After a brief period of thought, Spatharis called.

Matthew Micallef: 7♠7♣ All in
Alexantr Spatharis: A♣J♥

Micallef was ahead in a race and remained so after the 4♠3♠2♠K♥8♥ runout, Micallef celebrating the double with a mini fist pump celebration.

Level 35 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Martin Tsvetanov opened to 800,000 from the cutoff and was called by Gerald Karlic on the button and Mikkel Nielsen in the big blind for a three-way pot.

Action checked to Karlic, who bet 750,000 on the 9♦2♥5♦ flop. Nielsen called and Tsvetanov folded.

Both players checked on the A♣ turn and Nielsen checked a final time on the 8♠ river.

Karlic bet 2,400,000 and Nielsen decided to look him up after a bit of thought. Karlic tabled 10♦10♣ and Nielsen said, "You're good," as he sent his hand into the muck.

Level 35 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Gerald Karlic opened to 800,000 from middle position, and was met with a three-bet to 1,750,000 from Theodoros Ampelikiotis in the next seat. Action back to Karlic, who called after some consideration.

On the Q♣J♥7♠ flop, Karlic check-called versus a bet of 700,000 from his opponent. The 7♥ turn was checked through.

The 7♦ river completed the board, and Karlic led out with a bet of 3,000,000, almost covering Ampelikiotis. The Greek took quite a bit of time to think before calling, and he was good when he tabled A♥A♦ for the full house, comfortably beating Karlic's K♣9♣ for king-high.

Player	Chips	Progress
Gerald Karlic	16,100,000 2,400,000	2,400,000
Theodoros Ampelikiotis	15,000,000 7,200,000	7,200,000

Level 35 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Ricardo Caridade opened to 800,000 on the button and was called by Gerald Karlic in the big blind.

Karlic proceeded to check-called bets from Caridade on every street. First for 700,000 on the A♦J♦Q♠ flop, then for 2,800,000 on the A♣ turn, and finally for 5,500,000 on the 8♠ river after a lengthy tank.

Caridade turned over 6♣5♠ for a stone bluff and Karlic revealed Q♦J♠ for aces and queens to claim the sizable pot.

Spatharis Doubles Through Plant

Level 35 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Alexantr Spatharis shoved for a bit over six million from the cutoff and was called by Ryan Plant in the big blind to be put at risk.

Alexantr Spatharis: A♦9♠ All in
Ryan Plant: A♠K♠

The 5♦6♣9♥ flop improved Spatharis to a pair of nines, but the K♣ turn put Plant back into the lead with a pair of kings.

However, a 9♣ river sent Spatharis into celebration after improving him to trips for the dramatic double up.

Ryan Plant	23,500,000 8,000,000	8,000,000
Alexantr Spatharis	13,000,000 5,900,000	5,900,000

Level 35 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Action folded to Konstantinos Nanos in the small blind, who jammed for 4,750,000. Much to his concern, he received a snap-call from Alexantr Spatharis in the big blind.

Konstantinos Nanos: A♣8♦ All in
Alexantr Spatharis: A♥K♦

Nanos had been unfortunate to run into a bigger ace behind him, and the king kicker played on the A♦4♣3♣3♥Q♠ runout.
