Action was picked up on the turn of 10♣7♥2♣J♦. Joran Bohmer checked from the cutoff to Gerald Karlic on the button. He bet 90,000 into a pot of approximately 165,000.
Bohmer then check-raised all in and was snap-called by Karlic who had him covered.
Joran Bohmer: K♥J♥
Gerald Karlic: A♠A♣
The 8♥ river was a brick for Bohmer and he was sent to the rail. Andres Rengifo exclaimed "wow, from 50,000 to 1,000,000!" indicating that Karlic had spun up a short stack in quite some fashion.
Rafael Ben-Ami opened to 36,000 from under the gun. Antal Roth called on the button before Ladislao Dalfo moved all in from the small blind for 113,000. Ben-Ami then moved all in over the top which prompted Roth to fold.
Ladislao Dalfo: J♣J♦
Rafael Ben-Ami: K♥Q♥
Dalfo's jacks held across the A♥5♥10♠2♦9♥ runout to secure the double up.
Jenya Gavrilovich raised from under the gun, Philip Joyce called from the cutoff and Alexantr Spatharis called from the small blind.
With 120,000 already in the pot, the flop came 4♦Q♣7♦. Action folded to Gavrilovich who bet 44,000, Joyce called and Spatharis folded.
With the 5♠ hitting the turn, Gavrilovich fired out another bet for 30,000 but was quickly raised to 115,000. Gavrilovich seemed interested for a short period but decided to fold. Joyce picked up the pot and took his chip count to over 1,600,000.
