Polito Scoops In Full Double Up

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Laurent Polito
Laurent Polito

Laurent Polito opened to 45,000 from the hijack, which only Miroslav Rizov in the small blind called.

Rizov checked in flow on the K♦8♥9♣ flop, and Polito continued with a bet of 40,000. Rizov responded with a check-raise to 95,000, and, almost as quickly as he had slid the raise into the middle, Polito moved all in for 210,000, which Rizov called.

Laurent Polito: A♥A♦ All in
Miroslav Rizov: K♥10♥

The 8♦ turn wiped out some of Rizov's outs, leaving him requiring one of the two remaining kings in the deck.

However, it was the Q♠ that completed the board, and Polito had his double up.

Jason Wheeler opened to 45,000 in the cutoff, and Alexandre Bermon moved all in for 160,000 on the button. The action returned to Wheeler, who called.

Alexandre Bermon: A♦9♠ All in
Jason Wheeler: A♣Q♦

There was little to fret about for Wheeler, as the dealer spread a safe J♦7♠2♣3♠K♠ board, eliminating Bermon.

Dietrich Fast
Dietrich Fast

When the action folded to Stefan Dimitrov in the small blind, he moved all in, covering the stack of Dietrich Fast in the big blind. Fast took a look at his cards and then a look at the tournament screen before calling.

Dietrich Fast: A♥3♦ All in
Stefan Dimitrov: A♦K♣

It wasn't a hand that Fast would have wanted to see, and when the 10♦2♥6♦2♠7♠ board offered no help, he was the latest player to fall.

Binder on Piles After Immense River Raise

Bernhard Binder
Bernhard Binder

Bernhard Binder in early position and Artsiom Lasouski in middle position had amassed a pot of 225,000 when they saw the 3♣Q♣Q♠K♣10♠ river. Binder checked to Lasouski, who bet 85,000.

Binder then assembled a gargantuan raise to 500,000 and slid it into the middle. Lasouski sighed as he quickly called.

Binder tabled K♦Q♦ for a full house, and Lasouski frustratedly showed his A♠J♣ for a rivered straight as he was left with under 20 big blinds to play with.

Lucas Blanco

With the action folded around to him on the button, Lucas Blanco moved all in for 90,000 on the button. Nikita Kuznetsov called in the big blind, putting Blanco at risk.

Lucas Blanco: 10♠9♦ All in
Nikita Kuznetsov: A♦8♥

Blanco found some extra outs when the turn card landed on a J♣2♦2♥8♠ board, but the J♦ river was unforthcoming, seeing him eliminated in 37th place.

Rodrigo Selouan opened to 30,000 on the button, and Nikita Kuznetsov three-bet to 110,000 from the small blind. Jacques Der Megreditchian then moved all in from the big blind for 105,000, and Selouan came along.

Kuznetsov continued with a bet of 75,000 on the 5♥2♣4♠ flop, and Selouan called again.

The 8♠ turn card slowed Kuznetsov down, as he checked his option. Taking over the betting lead, Selouan slid 180,000 into the middle, which Kuznetsov called.

When the J♣ river completed the board, Kuznetsov checked again. On this occasion, he snap-folded when Selouan announced an all-in for 265,000.

Der Megreditchian flipped over J♥8♥ to reveal he had rivered two pair, but it was no good, as Selouan had turned top set with his 8♦8♣.

Thomas Eychenne

Thomas Eychenne opened to 30,000 under the gun. It folded to big blind Benjamin Pollak, who shoved all in for 330,000. Eychenne quickly called to put his neighbor at risk.

Benjamin Pollak: A♦K♥ All in
Thomas Eychenne: 10♥10♦

Eychenne flopped a set on 10♠5♥Q♥, leaving Pollak drawing to a gutshot. Pollak's straight did not come in on the 6♦ turn or 4♣ river, leaving him empty-handed.

Pollak departed the table to pick up his payout, seeing Eychenne chip up and eclipse the two-million mark.

Sergiu Sirghi put his 255,000 stack in the middle preflop and was at risk of elimination versus Oshri Lahmani.

Sergiu Sirghi: K♥K♣ All in
Oshri Lahmani: A♦Q♠

The dealer rolled over a 10♠3♦7♠8♥9♠ board, which kept the pocket kings safe, seeing Sirghi survive with a double up.

At another table, Giuseppe Calio was eliminated in 40th place.

Xavier Cortazar

The action folded all the way to the players in the blinds, and Xavier Cortazar raised to 60,000. Benjamin Pollak responded by moving all in, and Cortazar called immediately, putting himself at risk.

Xavier Cortazar: Q♥Q♣ All in
Benjamin Pollak: A♣4♥

The 8♣8♠4♠ provided Pollak some more immediate outs, but the 9♠ turn and Q♠ river only served to improve Cortazar to a full house, giving him the check mark.

Stanislav Anufriiev raised to 30,000 from under the gun, and then called a button three-bet to 80,000 by Longmao Fan.

On the K♣5♥3♥ flop, Anufriiev check-called a bet of 50,000, and the 5♣ turn card checked through.

Anufriiev took over the betting lead to the tune of 140,000 on the 5♦ river, but faced resistance as Fan raised to 300,000.

After burning through four of his allotted time extensions, Anufriiev called but was shown bad news.

Fan tabled K♠10♠ for a full house, Anufriiev flipped over Q♥Q♣ for a lower boat.
