Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Nicolas Oger and Shmuel Goldenberg built a pot of around 250,000 as they went heads-up to a 5♣3♦K♦ flop. Oger then bet 150,000 from the big blind, and Goldenberg called in early position.

The turn was the 8♥ and Oger moved all in. Goldenberg practically beat him into the pot and called for 244,000, turning over K♥K♣ for top set. Oger could only show A♥K♠, and the 9♠ river secured the double up for Goldenberg as he moved up past 1,000,000.

Kodinov Finds a King to Slow Down Vandyshev

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Heads-up on a board of 4♠2♣6♠K♣, Aleksei Vandyshev bet 35,000 from the hijack before Atanas Kodinov moved all in for 128,000 in middle position. Vandyshev called with Q♥Q♠, but Kodinov had K♦Q♦ for a turned pair of kings.

The river was the 2♥ and Kodinov secured the double up. "You can't win every hand," he said to Vandyshev after the hand.

At another table, Yael Pilo Raz picked up two kings against Joachim Meisolle's queens and improved to top set on the flop. "You mean I can still win the tournament?" Meisolle joked as a count showed he barely had Raz's 370,000 covered.

"If I win the tournament now, then I'm a genius," Meisolle added, but his hopes were quickly dashed as he lost his last 12,000 the next hand.

David Salituro

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Ivan Banic raised to 13,000 in the cutoff, Linas Bulksas three-bet to 40,000 on the button, and Banic called.

The flop came J♦6♠2♣ and Bulksas bet 23,000. Banic called, and the Q♣ fell on the turn.

Bulksas then bet 65,000, and Banic this time came back with an all-in shove for 135,000. Bulksas quickly folded.

At another table, David Nus was all-in for 78,000 from the cutoff and up against Gary Whitehead in the small blind.

David Nus: A♥10♠ All in
Gary Whitehead: J♣J♠

Nus needed to improve against Whitehead's jacks, and the flop came 6♦3♠9♦. The 8♦ turn gave him a straight draw, and Nus hit his straight on the 7♣ river to double up.

"Easy game," Nus said.

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Gerard Rubiralta opened with a raise to 12,000 under the gun. Eliyachu Barak defended his big blind and check-called when Rubiralta bet 6,000 on the 4♦6♣K♦ flop and 13,000 on the 3♣ turn.

Barak then promptly shoved all in for 30,000 on the 2♥. Rubiralta needed some time to think things through before he folded to surrender the pot.

Daniel Vandici moved all in for his last 52,000 from the big blind, and Luis Moreira put him at risk in early position.

Daniel Vandici: A♠A♥ All in
Luis Moreira: Q♦Q♥

Vandici had woken up with aces and was a big favorite to earn the double up against Moreira's queens. The board ran out 9♠2♥4♥6♣8♦, and Vandici doubled his short stack.

Jasserand Avoids Chop to Double Up

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Leonidas Kostagiolas raised to 12,000 from middle position when Martin Golini three-bet to 31,000 in the hijack.

Mathieu Jasserand upped the ante further by jamming all in for 100,000 from the big blind, sending Kostagiolas into the tank. Eventually, the table chip leader mucked his cards, after which Golini instantly called.

Mathieu Jasserand: A♠Q♠ All in
Martin Golini: A♥Q♦

"Want to chop right now?" Golini jokingly asked as the 5♣5♠2♣ flop was fanned. The 7♠ turn brought Jasserand a flush draw, and it was completed on the K♠ river to secure his double-up.

"I knew you were trouble," Golini said with a smile as he paid off his opponent.
