Sava Krink
Sava Krink
Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Maxime Chilaud opened from middle position to 40,000, finding callers in Tom-Aksel Bedell in the small blind and Petre Ionescu in the big blind.

The flop came 8♣6♥9♥. Bedell checked, and Ionescu bet 180,000, leaving just 60,000 behind. Chilaud folded, but Bedell stayed in to see the 2♦ turn.

Both players checked the turn and the K♣ river, leading to a showdown.

Bedell revealed Q♣10♣ for a missed straight, but it was enough as Ionescu mucked, leaving himself short.

Kaukua's Surge Continues

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Adria Calonge raised his button to 40,000. Toni Kaukua and Tomasz Brzezinski called in the blinds, after which the trio all checked the 10♠8♦6♥ flop.

Kaukua then led out for 90,000 on the 3♥ turn. Brzezinski called before Calonge folded K♣3♣. The 10♦ river caused Kaukua to use a time bank. He then settled on a pot-sized bet of 320,000.

Brzezinski tossed in all his time extensions, but he ended up using none of them as he called before his initial 30 seconds were gone.

Kaukua showed K♥10♣ for trip tens, besting the 8♥7♦ of Brzezinski and awarding him with a second big pot in a short time.

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Juan Pardo opened to 40,000 from the hijack, and Joao Tomas called from the small blind.

Tomas called bets of 70,000 and 225,000 on the flop and turn for the board to read J♣10♥2♦3♥3♣. Tomas, with 685,000, checked, and Pardo moved in. Tomas quickly folded, and Pardo dragged in the pot.

Pardo raised again on the next hand, with Longmao Fan calling from the big blind.

Fan called bets of 70,000 and 225,000 for the completed board to show 7♣5♥4♠2♠10♦. Both players checked on the river, with Fan's J♠J♦ good for the pot.

Juan Pardo on the button bet 40,000 on a flop of 4♠9♦10♦. Ben Heath in the big blind check-raised to 145,000 and Pardo made the call.

Heath asked for 135,000 on the 6♦ turn and was called, then checked the 8♦ river.

Pardo checked back with Q♦10♣ for a flush. Heath had a straight with 8♥7♠ but it wasn't enough to take the pot.

Toni Kaukua made it 40,000 to go in middle position. Jiaming Zhao flat-called in the cutoff, and the two went to the 5♣J♦K♦ flop. Kaukua continued with a bet of 40,000, and Zhao quickly called.

The A♦ arrived on the turn. Kaukua put in a hefty bet of 150,000, almost the size of the pot, but an undeterred Zhao put in another swift call.

Kaukua more than doubled his bet on the 6♣ river, and Zhao again called the 375,000 without much thought. Kaukua tabled 9♦7♦ for a turned flush, leaving the slow-played A♥A♣ of Zhao in the dust.

Tomasz Brzezinski opened his button to 40,000, and Luis Faria called in the big blind. Faria checked the K♣8♥2♠ flop over to Brzezinski, who continued for 30,000. Faria called before the Q♦ turn checked through.

Faria also checked the 2♦ river, but Brzezinski picked the aggression back up with a bet of 50,000. Faria tossed in calling chips, mucking his 8♣5♦ when Brzezinski tabled 9♥9♦ for a slightly higher pair.

With only the 7♠ being picked up by the card reader, Adria Calonge raised to 40,000 in the cutoff. Jiaming Zhao defended his big blind, seeing the dealer fan the K♠5♣2♣ flop.

Calonge continued for 30,000, and Zhao check-called. The 9♥ turn was checked by both before the J♣ river completed the board.

Zhao led out for 70,000, which received a swift call from Calonge. Zhao turned over Q♣9♣ for a flush, and Calonge's mystery hand disappeared into the muck.

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Heads-up on a board of 10♠2♣9♠Q♦, Alessandro Barone in the small blind bet 20,000, Roman Stoica in the hijack raised to 75,000, Barone moved all in for 265,000, and Stoica snap-called.

Alessandro Barone: K♠J♠ All in
Roman Stoica: K♥J♣

Both players hit a straight, but Barone still had a flush draw. He asked for spades with his friends and couldn't hide his joy when the 2♠ river landed on the felt to complete his flush and allow him to double up.
