Ivarsson Puts in a Massive Shove, Clock Runs Out on Tsvetanov

David Salituro

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

More than 200,000 was already in the middle as Alexander Ivarsson and Presiyan Tsvetanov went to a flop of 7♣7♦4♠. Tsvetanov then bet 210,000 from the small blind, and Ivarsson moved all in for 470,000 in the cutoff.

Tsvetanov went deep into the tank, taking several minutes before another tablemate called the clock. Tsvetanov allowed his countdown to reach zero before throwing his cards into the muck, and Ivarsson took down the big pot without a showdown.

With around 80,000 in the pot on a board of 4♣2♦K♠K♦, Fabio Muhr bet 32,000 from middle position and Simon Higgins raised to 90,000 in the cutoff. Muhr called, and the 7♦ fell on the river.

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Anastasios Vardalis opened to 10,000 in early position, receiving calls from Mohammad Najdi in the cutoff, Tadej Zalokar on the button, and Joao Amador in the big blind.

It checked to Najdi on the Q♠6♥J♠ flop, and he bet 18,000. Zalokar quickly got out of the way before Amador and Vardalis both called.

Najdi sized up to 43,000 on the 9♥ turn, only to see Amador check-raise all in to 106,000. Vardalis instantly mucked his cards, and Najdi eventually followed suit to grant the pot to Amador.

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Silvio Giuliano raised to 16,000 under the gun, Yael Pilo Raz moved all in from the button, and Giuliano called for 230,000.

Silvio Giuliano: A♠A♦ All in
Yael Pilo Raz: Q♣Q♠

"Queen is coming, don't worry," tablemate Joachim Meisolle reassured Raz going to the flop, which came 4♣9♦5♠. The turn was the J♠, while Giuliano improved to a set on the A♣ river to secure the double up.

"I said the queen is coming, not the ace. You need to win like 20 of those hands," Meisolle added.

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Three players went to a flop of 5♠3♦6♦ where Nicola Karl moved all in for his last 29,000 in the big blind. Samir Akhoullou called in early position.

Nicola Karl: A♦2♦ All in
Samir Akhoullou: J♥J♠

Akhoullou was ahead with his jacks, while Karl had straight and flush draws. The 10♦ turn gave him his flush and left Akhoullou drawing dead going to the Q♣ river.

"I bagged 18K," Karl said as he doubled up to around 100,000.

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Adrian Ziemichod raised to 10,000 in early position and Artus Gimenez three-bet to 40,000 in the small blind. Ziemichod then moved all in, and Gimenez let out a loud sigh and looked up at the ceiling before pushing in his last 170,000.

Artus Gimenez: A♦K♥ All in
Adrian Ziemichod: K♠K♦

Gimenez was looking for an ace to overcome Ziemichod's kings and stay alive. The Q♣6♦3♦8♦ board gave him outs to a flush draw going to the river, but he missed the 4♣ and Ziemichod scored the knockout to add to his massive stack.

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Ivan Tikhov raised to 10,000 in the hijack before Dan Wagner three-bet to 38,000 in the small blind. Tikhov then moved all in, and Wagner snap-called for his last 160,000.

Dan Wagner: Q♦Q♣ All in
Ivan Tikhov: 10♦10♠

Wagner had Tikhov dominated and was poised for the double up as the board came 8♥3♠4♠7♣, but Tikhov spiked a two-outer on the 10♣ river to make a set and send Wagner to the rail.
