Four Gone in Two Minutes; Sammartino Doubles

Level 12 : 1,800/3,600, 450 ante

Damian Salas check-jammed a flop of {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}{q-Clubs} out of the big blind only to get called by Darren Elias.

Salas tabled the {8-Clubs}{4-Clubs} for a flush draw while Elias had the {k-Hearts}{j-Spades} for trips kings. The {4-Diamonds} turn and {3-Hearts} river were blanks, sending Salas out for now.

Timothy Nuter then busted on his third bullet followed by David Peters, and Isaac Haxton bowed out in a battle of pocket pairs with Sami Kelopuro.

Isaac Haxton: {q-Clubs}{q-Spades}
Sami Kelopuro: {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}

The board ran out {j-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{6-Spades}{8-Spades} and Kelopuro prevailed.

The same table had also featured a flip between Dario Sammartino with {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts} and Rui Ferreira, who had the {3-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} heading into the showdown. Sammartino improved on each street of the {a-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}{k-Clubs} board to make aces full of kings.

Double Up Galore

Level 12 : 1,800/3,600, 450 ante
Costa vs Eibinger
Costa vs Eibinger

A preflop raising war brought the stack of Nick Petrangelo in the middle and he dominated the inferior pocket pair of Sami Kelopuro.

Nick Petrangelo: {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}
Sami Kelopuro: {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}

The {q-Spades}{3-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} board gave Petrangelo a winning set and full double.

Moments later, Felipe "sonicfast" Costa was at risk with {a-Hearts}{k-Spades} against Matthias Eibinger with the {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}. The ace fell on the river of a {q-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds} board.

Back to the previous table, Kelopuro got it in and Petrangelo now called with the covering stack in a battle button versus big blind.

Sami Kelopuro: {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}
Nick Petrangelo: {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}

Board: {q-Clubs}{j-Spades}{6-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{q-Hearts}

Kelopuro held with his pair and doubled right back.

Darren Elias chipped up without showdown and Sam Greenwood was also spotted with a boosted stack. The same table also features Michael Addamo, who recently entered.
