Pononmarev Scores Triple Up

Will Shillibier

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Komil Khamidov opened to 3,500 and Nikolay Ponomarev three-bet all in from the next position for 23,500.

Patrik Jaros four-bet all in for 28,500 from the next position and it folded to Eros Calderone in the big blind who five-bet all in for over 140,000.

Khamidov opted to fold and all the cards were turned over.

Nikolay Ponomarev: 8♣8♥ All in
Patrik Jaros: A♣K♠ All in
Eros Calderone: A♦K♥

Jaros and Calderone had each other's outs, with Ponomarev in good shape to triple up. The flop Q♥Q♦2♦ had Calderone calling for diamonds, while the 9♠ turn had him calling for a nine as well to counterfeit Ponomarev.

The river was the 3♥ and Ponomarev chipped up to just under average which currently stands at 83,000.

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Martin Sladek was seen raking in a pot with Lars-Magne Johansen having to cough up the chips.

The full board read 6♦6♠9♥5♠Q♣ and the pot of almost 100,000 was Sladek's as he flopped trips holding K♣6♣. Johansen's A♣9♣ for a pair of nines was no good, which left him with just 15,000 in his stack.

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

There were around 21,000 chips in the pot on a board of J♥8♦K♦2♣, when Kostadin Kostadinov from middle position checked to Artur Ibragimov who was in the cutoff and bet 13,500. Ibragimov quickly called but action slowed when the 9♦ fell on the river and both players checked.

Kostadinov tabled A♣A♠ but lost to Ibragimov's flopped set with 8♥8♠. "You beat me in every pot!" said Kostadinov.

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Iraklis Manikaros opened from early position to 4,000 and Nikolai Mamut three-bet from middle position to 12,000. When the action folded back to Manikaros, he called.

The duo saw a flop of J♥8♠9♥ where the action checked through to the 8♦ turn. Manikaros led out for 21,000, and Mamut called.

When the 5♣ dropped on the river, both players checked to showdown and Manikaros showed A♠Q♦ for ace-high, but Mamut tabled the winner as he paired his five on the river holding A♥5♥.

Set No Good for Ibragimov as Dragoun Doubles

Will Shillibier

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Radek Dragoun opened to 4,000 from early position and Artur Ibragimov three-bet to 13,500 from the big blind. Dragoun four-bet all in for 42,500 and Ibragimov quickly called.

Radek Dragoun: A♦Q♦ All in
Artur Ibragimov: J♥J♣

The K♣10♣6♣ flop gave Ibragimov a flush draw to go with his pocket pair, and although the J♦ turn improved him to a set, Dragoun had turned a straight.

The board failed to pair on the 8♦ river and Ibragimov could only laugh at the circumstances as he shared a smile with Dragoun who doubled up.

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Sven Stok opened from the button to 4,000. Yuri Dan called in the small blind and Michel Molenaar defended the big blind.

The 2♥5♦6♣ flop was checked around before Dan bet 3,000 on the 9♣ turn. Molenaar called before Stok moved all in for 31,000. Dan folded and Molenaar called after around a minute's thought.

Sven Stok: K♦K♥ All in
Michel Molenaar: 9♦6♦

Molenaar spiked the 6♥ on the river to improve to a full house. Stock wished the table good luck before departing the tournament area.

Dan O'Hair

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Dimitrios Gkatzas opened to 4,000 from early position and Merijn Van Rooij defended his big blind.

Van Rooij check-called a 3,000 bet from Gkatzas on the K♥A♠2♣ flop and check-raised a 3,000 bet from Gkatzas to 10,500 after the K♣ paired the board on the turn. Gkatzas called.

Van Rooij put Gkatzas all in for his last 29,500 on the 3♥ river and Gkatzas snap-called.

Van Rooij tabled A♥10♣ for aces-up, but it was no good against Gkatzas' K♦J♦ for trip kings to award Gkatzas the double up.

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Fulvio Boninsegna was all in for his stack of around 30,000 and had been put at risk by Luka Bojovic.

Fulvio Boninsegna: J♣J♠ All in
Luka Bojovic: A♥Q♣

The flop of 5♥4♠9♦ kept the pocket jacks of Boninsegna in the lead, as did the 7♥ turn. However, the Q♠ on the river gave Bojovic a bigger pair, which meant Boninsegna was eliminated.
