Danchev Doubles Yurasov

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante
Dmitry Yurasov
Dmitry Yurasov

Clyde Tjauw Foe told us about a hand where Dmitry Yurasov opened to 1,000. Dimitar Danchev three bet to 2,700 and Tjauw Foe cold called from the small blind. The big blind over called and Yurasov resqueezed to 8,000. Danchev now four bet to 8,000 and both Tjauw Foe and the big blind folded. Yurasov shoved all in for a little more than that, and Danchev called.

Yurasov flipped over {A-}{J-} and was up against Danchev's pocket kings. Yurasov rivered a ten to fill up his straight draw to doubled.

Not much later he got another present as he busted a player who committed all of his chips with {8-}{6-}. Yurasov had {Q-}{Q-} and gained some more.

Tjauw Foe told us that Yurasov had gotten lucky before all of this when he shoved for 30 big blinds with {K-}{Q-} and split against his opponent's {A-}{K-}.

Adeniya Reduces Little To Fumes

Level 8 : 300/600, 75 ante
Martins Adeniya
Martins Adeniya

Jonathan Little opened for 1,400 from early position and Martins Adeniya three-bet from the cut-off to 3,300. The blinds folded and Little threw in the call.

The flop was {9-Spades}{3-Hearts}{k-Hearts} and Little check-called a bet of 3,000 from Adeniya. On the turn card {q-Diamonds} Little checked but then Adeniya bet 7,000 he check-raised all in just covering Adeniya’s stack who quickly called.

Adeniya’s {q-Spades}{q-Hearts} had raced ahead of the {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs} of Little on the turn. The river card {10-Clubs} crippled Little and gave the patient Martins a double up.

Little was all in on the next hand and Martins raised to isolate. Cards on their backs and Little was slightly ahead with {a-Spades}{7-Spades} versus the {k-Clubs}{q-Clubs}. A run out of {j-Spades}{7-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{10-Spades}{7-Hearts} gave Little a lifeline.

"I think it's a good bet whether you've got it or you haven't," said Carey after folded.

A smile washed over Carlino's face as he flashed the {K-Hearts} to the table before mucking his cards and taking down the pot. With this win, his stack is now up to about 71,000.
