Tsvetanov Scores a Massive Double Through Sinclair

Dan O'Hair

Level 33 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Martin Tsvetanov opened to 500,000 from the cutoff and was three-bet to 2,250,000 by Jack Sinclair in the small blind. It was folded back to Tsvetanov, who announced he was all in for 11,750,000 total. Sinclair verified the amount and stuck in a call to put Tsvetanov at risk.

Martin Tsvetanov: J♣J♥ All in
Jack Sinclair: A♠Q♠

The 10♠9♣8♠ flop gave Sinclair a load of additional outs with both flush and straight draws in addition to his overs.

However, the 4♦ turn and 5♦ river bricked out, keeping Tsvetanov best with jacks for the huge double up.

Jack Sinclair	14,500,000 7,200,000	7,200,000

Level 33 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Mykhailo Demydenko and Gerald Karlic got into a preflop raising war that ended with Karlic all in for 6,700,000 on the button against Demydenko, who had Karlic covered from the cutoff.

Gerald Karlic: A♠K♠ All in
Mykhailo Demydenko: J♠J♣

The 4♣3♠8♥ flop was safe for Demydenko, but the A♦ turn paired Karlic's ace and left Demydenko drawing to two outs.

It wasn't meant to be, as the A♣ river needlessly improved Karlic to trip aces to award him the double up.

Player	Chips	Progress
Gerald Karlic	14,000,000 4,725,000	4,725,000
Mykhailo Demydenko	6,400,000 5,900,000	5,900,000

Martin Tsvetanov opened to 500,000 from the button, then went into the tank after Maor Zaharagi in the small blind three-bet all in for 6,050,000. He eventually made the call.

Maor Zaharagi: 10♠10♥ All in
Martin Tsvetanov: 9♠9♣

Zaharagi was on his way to double up on a board of 2♣3♦K♠8♦, but the 9♥ river gave a set to Tsvetanov. Zaharagi was slightly covered, so he was eliminated.

The table broke after this hand.

Level 33 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Theodoros Ampelikiotis raised to 400,000 on the button and Ricardo Caridade defended his big blind.

Caridade check-called a 750,000 bet from Ampelikiotis on the 9♥10♠2♣ flop and then led out for 500,000 after the 2♠ turn paired the board. Ampelikiotis called.

The 9♠ filled the river and Caridade fired 3,600,000 into the middle, sending Ampelikiotis deep into the tank.

Ampelikiotis eventually called and Caridade tabled 8♥2♥ for deuces-full. Ampelikiotis couldn't beat it and sent his hand into the muck to award Caridade the pot.
