Der Megreditchian Doubles in Cooler; Haraldstad Heads Home

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

Three-way to a K10Q flop, small blind Derk van Luijk, Jacques Der Megreditchian in the big blind, and Fabiano Cappelli in the cutoff each put in 16,000.

The Q turn then checked through to the 8 river, which Van Luijk also checked. Der Megreditchian bet 37,000, which Cappelli raised to 85,000. Van Luijk quickly got out of the way before Der Megreditchian moved all in for 182,000.

Cappelli immediately called, tabling 1010 for a full house. Der Megreditchian had a higher full house with KQ, however, and raked in a big double-up.

Over at an adjacent table, Joachim Haraldstad raised to 15,000 in the cutoff, leaving only 1,000 behind. Diego Zeiter called on the button, and Haraldstad's final chip was committed on the K82 flop.

Joachim Haraldstad: K2 All in
Diego Zeiter: K5

Zeiter turned a higher two pair on the 5, and the J river spelled the end of Haraldstad's Main Event.
