Holskyi's Second Pair is Good at Showdown

Level 19 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Dario Pieruzzini raised to 20,000 from the cutoff, and only Konstantyn Holskyi called from the button.

The 9A5 flop caused both players to check and see the 6 appear on the turn. Pieruzzini checked for a second time, but Holskyi fired out a bet of 20,000. Pieruzzini quickly called.

Another two checks followed the 3 river, and Pieruzzini tabled 77 for a pair of sevens. This was second-best to the Q9 of Holskyi for second pair, and the pot was sent to him

At another table, Lauri Saaskilahti moved all in for 414,000 in the small blind and Anton Suarez put him at risk on the button.

Anton Suarez: QQ

Eychenne Shoves on Kovalski; O'Dwyer Runs Into Romero's Queens

Level 19 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Steve O'Dwyer
Steve O'Dwyer

Heads-up on a flop of K3J, Thomas Eychenne bet 15,000 from the hijack and Fabiano Kovalski called in the big blind.

The turn was the J and Kovalski led out for 18,000. Eychenne called and the Q fell on the river. Kovalski then bet 20,000, and Eychenne used two time banks before announcing all in.

Kovalski had around 250,000 remaining and tanked for a minute before folding. Eychenne allowed him to pick one of his cards, and Kovalski chose the Q.

At the same time at another table, Alejandro Romero had opened to 20,000 under the gun and Lirong Hu Yu called in the hijack. Steve O'Dwyer then reraised to 190,000 in the cutoff, leaving only a few chips behind, and Romero shoved all in. Yu folded, but O'Dwyer quickly put in the rest of his stack.

Steve O'Dwyer: 99 All in
Alejandro Romero: QQ

Yu told O'Dwyer what he folded as the flop came AK10. "Why would you tell me that?" O'Dwyer said incredulously.

"You're never supposed to say," Romero added. The turn was the A, while the 3 river was no help to O'Dwyer as the EPT champion was sent to the rail, but not before shooting Yu another annoyed look.

Joao Webber
Joao Webber

Chongxian Yang raised to 22,000 from the hijack before Joao Webber three-bet to 63,000 from the button. Once the blinds folded, Yang continued in the form of a call.

Upon seeing the 567 flop fall, Yang checked the action over to Webber, who fired out a bet of 35,000. Yang didn't take long to put together a check-raise to 100,000. Webber made the call to see a turn.

A K dropped on the turn and Yang decided to check. Webber tossed out 80,000, and Yang went into the tank. After using a few of his time bank cards, Yang returned his cards to the dealer and forfeited the pot to Webber.
