Newey Picks Off Laros

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

With around 5,000 in the pot on a board of 9485, Paul Newey bet 3,000 from the cutoff and Jari Laros raised to 8,000 under the gun. Newey called and the 3 fell on the river.

Laros then moved all in for 8,500 and Newey spent several minutes in the tank before calling. Laros showed 109 for top pair, but Newey had 98 for two pair to win the pot and send Laros to the rail.

Nacinovic Gets "Back in Business" With Turn Shove

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

Alan Nacinovic raised to 700 under the gun and Ivan Zhechev three-bet to 3,200 in the small blind. Oleksandr Kasian called in the big blind, while Nacinovic also called.

The flop came A63 and Zhechev continued for 2,500. Only Nacinovic called to see the 7 turn, where Zhechev bet another 8,000.

Nacinovic came back with an all-in shove and Zhechev snap-folded. "Back in business," a tablemate said to Nacinovic as he raked in the pot.

Yannick Schumacher and Constantin Cirstea went to the turn on a board of 6769 with around 6,000 in the pot. Schumacher then bet 5,000 from the cutoff, Cirstea moved all in, and Schumacher called for 10,600.

Cirstea showed J6 for trips, but Schumacher had turned a full house with 99. The river was the K and Schumacher doubled up.

Big Blind Special for Fisher

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

Action was on the turn on a board of Q1095 and Gary Fisher checked from the big blind. Daniel Drommel bet 3,300 from early position and Fisher called.

The river came the 2 and Fisher switched to a check. Drommel made it 6,500 and Fisher let out a sigh before making the call. Drommel had KK for an overpair, but Fisher had 102 for a funky two pair to win the pot.

Alontsau Check-Raises River

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

Siarhei Alontsau opened the action with a raise to 600 from middle position, which was met with a call from Ashot Alontsad, followed by a three-bet to 2,500 from Andrija Robovic in late position. Alontsau and Alontsad, two players with unusually similar last names, both made the call.

The flop came 354 and action checked to Robovic, who made it 2,200 to go. Only Alontsau made the call.

On the 9 turn, Alontsau checked and Robovic put out a large bet of 8,000. Alontsau then check-raised all in for 21,600, which sent Robovic deep into the tank.

Robovic rubbed his eyes, creased his forehead, talked to himself a little bit, then eventually made the fold after several minutes of consideration. Alontsau scooped in a decent pot.

Colillas Doubles His Short Stack

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante
Ramon Colillas
Ramon Colillas

Ramon Colillas moved all in with a short stack of just 4,200 from early position. The rest of the table folded, aside from Ai Guo Xu, who made the call in the big blind with the covering stack. Players flipped their cards and Colillas was at risk.

Ramon Colillas: QQ All in
Ai Guo Xu: QJ

Colillas had woken up with queens at a great moment to sustain his tournament life and Xu would need a lot of help to catch up. The board ran out 45437 and Colillas held with his queens to win the pot and double his stack.
