Wang Holds to Eliminate Tabibzadeh

Stewart Morrison

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Axel Bayout raised to 3,000 in the cutoff, and Seyed Tabibzadeh called in the small blind. Next to act, in the big blind, Yuhan Wang three-bet to 12,000, which both players called.

The dealer spread a J♦K♠A♦ flop, which Tabibzadeh seemed to like, as he moved all in for 21,000. Wang called, and Bayout folded.

Seyed Tabibzadeh: Q♥J♥ All in
Yuhan Wang: A♣3♦

Tabibzadeh had a pair and a straight draw, but was unable to improve versus the top pair of Wang, as the 8♦ turn and 2♣ river completed the board.

Leonard Maue: A♥K♥ All in
Maxime Manzone: Q♥Q♦

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Arriving as Christopher Nguyen's stack was being pushed across the table to Alan Buttner, the high-roller regular had put his stack in the middle versus ace-king, holding an inferior ace-high.

Buttner's hand remained best as the dealer spread a low board, and Nguyen was eliminated.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Small blind Joan Moragues and Andrej Tekel on the button were heads up on the 9♠10♥J♥K♠ turn. With 38,500 in the pot, Moragues checked it over to Tekel. Tekel then bet 22,000, and Moragues called.

After a bit of thought, Moragues checked the 7♥ river as well. Tekel quickly moved all in, and Moragues snap-called for his stack of 45,500.

Tekel turned over Q♦8♠ for a straight, but Moragues had rivered a flush with his Q♥9♥ and was awarded a sizable double-up. Tekel, meanwhile, was left with about 15 big blinds.

Joan Moragues	173,500 104,000	104,000

Anufriiev Tells Makaci Exact Hand

Frank Visser

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Franck Makaci opened to 3,000 in the hijack. Stanislav Anufriiev three-bet to 11,000 once it had folded to him in the big blind, and Makaci obliged with a call.

The pair checked through the 9♣4♣J♦ flop, prompting Anufriiev to bet 23,000 on the 5♠ turn. Makaci called before he saw Anufriiev put him all-in for 62,000 on the J♠ river.

"What do you have? King-queen?" Makaci asked Anufriiev as he burned through his time banks.

"Maybe aces," Anufriiev replied.

Makaci eventually called, just before running out of time. Anufriiev tabled A♥A♦, and Makaci took his exit as his 10♠10♥ was no good.

Oh My God, They Killed Kenney

Stewart Morrison

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Markus Bonus raised to 3,000 from middle position, to which Georgios Vrakas responded with a three-bet to 9,000 one seat to his left. Next to act, a short-stacked Bryn Kenney moved all in for 3,500. The action returned to Bonus, who folded.

Bryn Kenney: A♠10♥ All in
Georgios Vrakas: J♦J♣

The dealer spread a 3♠7♥J♠ flop, leaving Kenney requiring running cards to survive.

There was hope on the 8♦ turn, but the 10♠ river sealed Kenney's fate, as one of the players at the table remarked that they were happy to see the back of the all-time money list leader.

Frank Visser

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Dimitar Danchev raised to 3,500 in the cutoff. It folded to Lucas Blanco in the big blind, who three-bet to 13,500. Danchev called, and did so too when Blanco continued for 15,000 on the 7♦5♦2♣ flop.

The J♦ turn was then checked by both players, and Blanco checked the 6♣ river as well. Danchev spent one of his time banks before moving all in for 78,000. Blanco quickly relinquished the pot and mucked his cards.
