Emelyanov Out for Now

Level 5 : 600/1,200, 150 ante

Roman "RRomashka" Emelyanov lost further chips and then got it in for around five blinds with the {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}. His earlier nemesis, Damian Salas, made the call with the {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}.

The board ran out {j-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{6-Diamonds} and that spelled the end for Emelyanov on the first bullet, who crashed out from chip leader to rail in half an hour.

No Dub for "jbubb901"

Level 5 : 600/1,200, 150 ante
jbubb901 vs Bilokur
jbubb901 vs Bilokur

Leonid "Mikleler" Bilokur limped in and Laszlo Molnar raised to 8,400 on the button. Table short stack "jbubb901" then jammed for 35,371 in the big blind and Bilokur went over the top to force out Molnar.

"jbubb901": {8-Spades}{8-Clubs}
Leonid "Mikleler" Bilokur: {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}

The suited ace flopped best on {k-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{7-Spades} and retained the lead on the {2-Spades} turn and {3-Hearts} river.

Matakis Joins the Big Stacks

Level 5 : 600/1,200, 150 ante

In a multi-way pot to the {a-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{7-Hearts} flop, Aliaksei Boika bet 3,287 on the button and was called by Ian "potamophobia" Matakis in the small blind and Nicolo Molinelli from an early position. Only Matakis check-called for 12,482 on the {5-Spades} turn when Boika bet once more and the {6-Diamonds} river was checked.

Matakis tabled the {10-Hearts}{9-Hearts} for the nuts and Boika's {a-Hearts}{q-Spades} was no longer any good.

In the next hand, Mataskis added even more chips to his stack to further gain ground.

In three-way action to the {8-Spades}{5-Spades}{5-Diamonds} flop, Pablo Navarro checked out of the big blind as did Ronny Kaiser and Thomas Muehloecker. The {4-Diamonds} fell on the turn and Navarro bet ,240, only Muehloecker called. After the {7-Diamonds} river, Navarro check-shoved for 93,178 and Muehloecker called with the {6-Hearts}{6-Spades} for a straight.

Navarro only had {q-Clubs}{5-Clubs} and dropped to seven blinds, which he doubled two hands later.

Gieles and Farrell Chip Up

Level 6 : 700/1,400, 175 ante

Stoyan "UncleToni" Obreshkov check-called the {7-Clubs}{4-Spades}{2-Hearts} flop for 2,700, led the {3-Hearts} turn for 4,554 and checked the {8-Diamonds} river. Luuk Gieles was his sole remaining opponent and bet the river for 35,400. Obteshkov called with {5-Spades}{4-Clubs} for a bluff catcher but Gieles had {8-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} for two pair in this battle of the blinds.

One hand later, Alexandros Theologis bet the three-way flop of {a-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{9-Hearts} for 5,670 to get called by Niall Farrell in the cutoff. Isaac Haxton folded out of the big blind and Theologis' bet of 17,976 on the {2-Spades} turn earned another call.

The {7-Clubs} river was checked and Theologis tabled the {j-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}, which Farrell had beat with the {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts} for the top pair.

Estrada Runs Into a Full House

Level 6 : 700/1,400, 175 ante
Estrada vs Reeves
Estrada vs Reeves

Andorra-based Spanish poker player Soraya Estra called a raise to 3,080 by Luke Reeves and another three players after that came along to the {k-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} flop, which surprisingly brought no betting action. Estrada led the {5-Spades} turn for 5,712 and Reeves check-called to see the {10-Hearts} river.

Reeves checked once more and Estrada bet 20,311. That saw Reeves jam for 62,687 and Estrada called with the {a-Spades}{9-Spades} for trips nines. However, Reeves had set the trap with {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} to score the full double. She was left with a chip and a chair to bust in the next hand.
