Anufriiev Dazzles Dizy; Glaser Gets Value With Nuts

Frank Visser

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Dorian Dizy open-raised his button, and Stanislav Anufriiev defended in the big blind. Both players went on to check the 4♣Q♥4♥ flop, and Anufriiev also checked the K♠ turn. Dizy placed a small bet of 20,000, which Anufriiev called.

Anufriiev then promptly led out with a big bet of 125,000 on the K♥ river. Dizy could only laugh as he sent his cards to the muck, forfeiting the pot.

At another table, small blind Dietrich Fast and big blind Benny Glaser had reached the Q♣9♥J♥A♥3♥ river. Having gathered around 230,000 in the pot, Fast checked to Glaser.

Glaser slid in a bet of 175,000. Fast called after some debate, but his cards were mucked in defeat when Glaser tabled K♥4♥ for the nut flush.

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

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.

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

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♣.

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

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.

Frank Visser

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Mehdi Chaoui made it 30,000 to go in the cutoff. Rodrigo Selouan defended his big blind, and the subsequent 10♦8♥8♦ flop was checked by both players.

Selouan then bet 55,000 on the 7♣ turn. Chaoui called to the A♥ river, where Selouan piled in a massive bet of 225,000.

Chaoui folded without spending a time bank, telling Selouan in jest that he would have called if the bet was 220,000.

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

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.

Stewart Morrison

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

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.

Player	Chips	Progress
Xavier Cortazar	905,000 390,000	390,000

Frank Visser

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Picking up the action on a A♣A♥J♠A♠ turn, Mehdi Chaoui checked from the small blind to Artsiom Lasouski on the button. Lasouski bet 165,000 into a pot of 140,000, and Chaoui tossed in a call.

The 4♦ river was quickly checked to showdown, where Chauoi's Q♥J♥ won him the pot.

Over at another table, small blind Stanislav Anufriiev, big blind Miguel Franco, and Dorian Dizy in the cutoff saw a flop of Q♦4♥8♣. It checked to Dizy, who fired a bet of 35,000, seeing both opponents call.

Dizy sized up to 95,000 on the A♥ turn. Anufriiev check-folded this time, but Franco stuck around with another check-call. Franco also checked the 9♠ river. Dizy completed his triple barrel with a bet worth 275,000.

Franco gave it some thought but ended up mucking his cards, leaving himself just over 30 big blinds in his stack.

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

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.

Frank Visser

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Nikita Kuznetsov bet 105,000 on a 5♥J♣J♠9♠ turn from the small blind. Rodrigo Selouan called on the button, seeing his opponent size down to 35,000 on the 10♠ river.

Selouan quickly tossed in a call, but he mucked his cards once Kuznetsov showed 5♠5♣ for a full house.

Over at another table, Hugo Blaison checked the 8♣K♣6♦J♠J♥ completed board from the big blind to Laurent Polito in the hijack. Polito put his opponent all-in for 135,000, sending him into the tank.

Blaison spent all of his time banks before he slammed in calling chips. Polito tabled K♠9♠ for kings and jacks, but Blaison had him outkicked with his K♥10♠ and secured a double-up.
