A Big Flip for Worthington-Leese

Maxime Taldir

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

After most of the chips went into the middle preflop between Leo Worthington-Leese on the button and Yuri Gama in the small blind, generating a 660,000-chip pot, Gama checked the 9♣3♦K♣ flop. Worthington-Leese bet the 4,000 he had left and Gama called.

Leo Worthington-Leese: K♥Q♣ All in
Yuri Gama: 10♥10♠

Gama seemed disappointed to discover a king in Worthington-Leese's hand, and was left on fumes after the 3♥4♥ runout was revealed. He was eliminated a few hands later.

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

Yohan Rascar came in with a raise to 20,000 from the cutoff and was three-bet by [Removed:551] to 65,000 from the button. Once the blind had folded, Rascar opted to call.

The dealer spread out the flop of 7♣Q♥5♠, prompting checks from Rascar and [Removed:552]. Rascar led out for 22,000 when he saw the J♣ roll off on the turn, and this was enough to get [Removed:552] to let go of his hand.

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

Silius Moll moved all in for 122,000 in middle position as action folded to Luka Bojovic in the small blind. He confirmed the amount before calling, while the rest of the table got out of the way.

Silius Moll: A♠Q♠ All in
Luka Bojovic: A♣A♦

Moll's predicament became even more dire when Bojovic found the last ace in the deck on the A♥J♦3♣ flop, giving him top set. The board ran out 8♦2♦ and Moll was sent to the rail.

Colavita Comes From Behind to Double

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

Nazarii Piznak raised to 20,000 in early position, Mario Colavita moved all in for 91,000 in the hijack, and Piznak called.

Mario Colavita: A♣J♥ All in
Nazarii Piznak: A♦Q♦

Piznak had Colavita dominated and was poised for a knockout until the flop brought J♦9♠8♣, giving Colavita top pair and the lead, but also giving Piznak a gutshot straight draw. The K♠ turn changed nothing, and he also missed the 6♣ river, handing over the double-up.
