Doyer Takes from Andreev

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Andrey Andreev kicked the action off with a raise to 1,600 from the hijack, which Alexandre Doyer called in the cutoff. Fabian Gumz responded with a three-bet to 5,600 on the button, which both Andreev and Doyer called.

The action checked through on the Q4J flop, prompting Andreev to take over the betting lead on the 8 turn. His bet of 6,000 was called by Doyer, but Gumz folded.

Andreev hit the brakes on the 6 river, checking to Doyer, who immediately checked back.

Andreev rolled over 76 for a rivered pair of sixes, which was no good versus the Q10 of Doyer.

Calio Fills Up to Eliminate Khachateryan

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Giuseppe Calio
Giuseppe Calio

Seeing a raise ahead of him from Giuseppe Calio in the hijack, Stepan Khachateryan three-bet to 3,800 on the button. The action folded back to Calio, who responded with a four-bet to 8,500, which Khachateryan called.

Both players checked on the 10J9 flop, and the K turn joined the board.

Calio checked for a second time before calling a bet of 8,000 by Khachateryan.

The 10 river paired the board, and Calio elected to take over the betting lead, moving all in, covering Khachateryan's stack of roughly 20,000.

Khachateryan thought for a moment and then called.

Calio flipped over JJ, for a rivered full house, which was good enough to beat the AQ of Khachateryan.
