Boulton Rivers a Miracle to Double Again

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Joshua Boulton
Joshua Boulton

Manuel Ferrari raised the button to 60,000, and Raffael Brum jammed the small blind for about 750,000. Joshua Boulton, having just doubled up, called for his 160,000 in the big blind. Ferrari folded, and the cards were tabled with Boulton at risk again.

Joshua Boulton: 77 All in
Raffael Brum: A10

Boulton was in a flip this time, and he fell behind on the AK4 flop as Brum paired his ace.

The J on the turn meant only a seven on the river would save Boulton.

Boulton remained seated, perhaps aware of what was to come, as the 7 dropped to complete the board, giving him a set and sending his stack up to over 400,000.

Joshua Boulton raised to 60,000 from middle position and faced a three-bet to 180,000 from Sebastian Malec in the small blind. Boulton responded with a four-bet shove for 850,000, and Malec called, putting his 795,000 at risk.

Sebastian Malec: QQ All in
Joshua Boulton: AK

Boulton took control on the 9JK flop, but the 2 turn and 5 river saw Malec snatch the lead back, hitting a running flush.

The very next hand, Boulton committed his remaining 55,000 into the middle, and Malec called on the button, looking to finish the job.

Joshua Boulton: QQ All in
Sebastian Malec: A2

It was Boulton's turn to find queens preflop, and once again they held firm, as the J9K7J board saw Boulton get a very small rebate from Malec.

Brum Rivers a Straight

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Raffael Brum raised to 60,000 in the cutoff with Henok Tekle Mariam and Nicolas Chouity calling in the blinds.

After two checks on the 878 flop, Brum continuation-bet for 40,000, which only Tekle Mariam called.

The 6 turn checked through to see the 4 on the river. Tekle Mariam checked for the last time, and Brum bet 170,000.

Tekle Mariam flicked in one chip to call, but was then forced to match the entire bet as Brum turned over Q5 for a rivered straight.

Level 22
Blinds: 10,000/20,000 (20,000)

Raffael Brum opened to 40,000 in the cutoff, and Henok Tekle Mariam flat-called on the button. Tiago Souza spent a time bank before moving all in for 500,000 in the small blind, getting Brum to fold A6.

Tekle Mariam had other plans, and he called after eyeing Souza's stack.

Tiago Souza: Q10 All in
Henok Tekle Mariam: AJ

Neither player received help from the K7424 board, spelling the end of Souza's tournament.

Level 22
Blinds: 10,000/20,000 (20,000)

Andres Pereyra moved in his last 110,000 from the small blind, and Henok Tekle Mariam quickly called in the big blind.

Andres Pereyra: 54 All in
Henok Tekle Mariam: K10

Pereyra stood up as the 3K10 flop presented Tekle Mariam with two pair, but he sat back down when the 6 gave him a straight draw.

In the end, Pereyra did have to exit his seat as the 4 river was not enough to double up. He said his goodbyes to his former opponents and vacated the feature table.

Goncalves Cracks Kozieja's Aces to Double

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Level 22
Blinds: 10,000/20,000 (20,000)

Vinicius Goncalves made it 40,000 to go in early position. Grzegorz Kozieja responded with a three-bet to 120,000 from the hijack, which Goncalves called.

Goncalves then checked the J7Q flop to Kozieja, who bet 75,000. Goncalves called, prompting the dealer to deal the Q turn. Kozieja tripled his sizing to 225,000, and Gonzalez check-called after spending a time bank.

After Goncalves also checked the 4 river, Kozieja moved all in. Goncalves snap-called for his stack of 295,000, revealing KQ for turned trips. Kozieja's AA swiftly disappeared into the muck as Goncalves booked a big double-up.

Level 22
Blinds: 10,000/20,000 (20,000)

Miroslav Rizov raised to 40,000 in early position, and Sebastian Malec called as next to act. Manuel Ferrari then pushed in a three-bet to 160,000 from the hijack, and Rizov four-bet jammed for 740,000 once it got back to him.

Malec quickly folded 66, but Ferrari snapped his opponent off with the covering stack.

Miroslav Rizov: AK All in
Manuel Ferrari: AA

The 67J43 runout left Rizov without hope, as Ferrari earned the checkmark on the turn. Rizov quickly departed the feature table, seeing his Main Event come to an end.
