"Yes, Papa!" Nabet's Hero Call Leaves Kisacikoglu on Fumes

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

With around 30,000 in the pot on a board of A♠3♦4♥3♠, Orpen Kisacikoglu bet 17,500 from the big blind and Nicolas Nabet called on the button.

The river was the 5♠ and Kisacikoglu bet 66,500, leaving himself just one 500 chip behind. Nabet went into the tank for a minute, but eventually called.

Kisacikoglu peeked back at his cards and sent them into the muck face down. "Yes, papa!" Nabet shouted out, jumping out of his seat and he slammed down 10♠10♣. Nabet ran away from the table in celebration, knocking over a few drinks on the ground in the process as Kisacikoglu could only manage to laugh off the beat.

Samantha Abernathy put in 3,000 for a raise from middle position. Gustavo Morales then moved all in for 20,500 in the hijack, which Florian Ribouchon called on the button.

After some thought, Abernathy reshoved. Ribouchon instantly called off his stack of 75,000, and the players revealed their cards.

Gustavo Morales: A♥J♥ All in
Florian Ribouchon: A♠A♦ All in
Samantha Abernathy: Q♥Q♦

Ribouchon added a straight flush draw to his pair of aces on the 4♠2♠5♠ flop, leaving Abernathy with one direct out to scoop. The 4♣ did nothing for any player, but the Q♣ river gave Abernathy her one out for the winning full house.

Ribouchon instantly mucked his cards and hurried away in disbelief. Abernathy, meanwhile, calmly raked in the big pot, soaring to two and a half times the average stack.

Ali Abdulzahra had three-bet in the big blind before Giuseppe Zarbo moved all in from the hijack. Abdulzahra called for 55,000.

Ali Abdulzahra: Q♦Q♣ All in
Giuseppe Zarbo: 8♦8♣

Abdulzahra was ahead with his queens, and the K♥9♥4♦3♦10♠ board kept him in front and earned him a double up.

The action did not end there, however. There was an extra 500 chip in the pot, and Abdulzahra was unsure about whether it was his. Zarbo protested that he shouldn't have to pay off the extra chip, and demanded that tournament officials check the cameras before action continued.

An official informed Zarbo that they weren't going to pause the game, and Zarbo continued to protest for several minutes while the situation was resolved.

A sizable pot was between Nikolay Ponomarev in the small blind and Sebastian Ionita under the gun. Ponomarev had checked the completed board of 9♠5♦Q♥2♥6♣ over to Ionita, who fired a bet of 62,000.

Ponomarev spent a while in the tank. Eventually, the clock was called on him. His 30-second countdown was nearing its end when Ponomarev hastily tossed in a calling chip.

Ionita could only show a bluff with K♣10♥, meaning Ponomarev dragged the big pot with his A♠Q♣ for top pair.

Ewen Trevidy opened to 3,000 in middle position. Victoria Coren Mitchell flat-called in the small blind, and Ronald Steinmetz defended his big blind.

The 8♦2♣J♣ flop checked through to the 7♥ turn, where Coren Mitchell fired a bet of 3,000. Steinmetz then raised to 13,000, the majority of his stack.

Trevidy quickly got out of the way, and Coren Mitchell followed suit after she and Steinmetz shared some banter.

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

Jorge Abreu raised to 3,000 in middle position before Eugene Katchalov three-bet to 9,000 in the hijack. Abreu called, and they saw a flop of 9♥6♥5♠.

Abreu then led out for 5,500, and Katchalov called. The turn was the 4♥ and Abreu bet another 8,500. Katchalov again called.

The 4♦ fell on the river and Abreu led out again, this time making it 12,000. Katchalov snap-called, and Abreu turned over K♥10♥ for a flush to win the pot.

After four limps in front of him, Hugo De La Fouchardiere raised to 10,500 in the big blind. The table folded around to Derk van Luijk, who moved all in for 18,000 in the cutoff. De La Fouchardiere called.

Derk van Luijk: A♠Q♣ All in
Hugo De La Fouchardiere: A♣7♠

Van Luijk had De La Fouchardiere dominated, and the 4♠5♠K♦J♦9♠ board kept the EPT Monte Carlo champion in front and earned him a double up.

At another table, Domencio Di Vito and Eelis Parssinen went to the river on a board of Q♣K♦A♣Q♠J♦. Parssinen then bet 6,000 from under the gun, and Di Vito moved all in for 54,000 in the cutoff.

Parssinen let out a laugh and tanked for a minute before calling. Di Vito turned over A♦Q♦ for a full house, and Parssinen flashed king-queen for a smaller full house as he mucked. The stacks were recounted, and Di Vito barely had Parssinen covered to send the Finnish online star to the rail.

Simone Andrian open-raised to 3,000 in middle position. Umut Yukselir flicked in a three-bet to 9,000 in the hijack, and Andrian moved all in once it folded back to him.

Yukselir was playing 30,000 chips, and he took a few moments before he called for his tournament life.

Umut Yukselir: A♥10♥ All in
Simone Andrian: Q♠Q♦

Andrian faded an ace on the 2♠7♥4♠K♦6♣ runout, setting Yukselir's elimination in stone.
