Abdulzahra Up to Eight Figures; Sardini Sent Home

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Frank Visser

Level 29 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

In a pot worth around 700,000, Ali Abdulzahra checked the 8♥J♥A♦ from middle position to Ashkan Ahmedov on the button, who bet 280,000.

Abdulzahra called, and check-called again when Ahmedov sized up to 850,000 on the 5♦ turn. A third check from Abdulzahra followed on the 4♠ river. Ahmedov piled in 1,800,000, and Abdulzahra called after spending a little time in the tank.

Ahmedov confidently tabled A♠K♥ for top pair, but much to his frustration, Abdulzahra had rivered two pair with his A♣4♦ to be awarded the sizable pot.

One hand later, Gavin Sardini committed his final 305,000 under the gun. Tyrell Soleyn was the only interested party and looked Sardini up on the button.

Gavin Sardini: 7♠5♠ All in
Tyrell Soleyn: K♠10♠

Sardini had several straight draws after the 9♠6♦2♣4♣ turn, but the K♦ river presented Soleyn with top pair to take the pot and knock out the South African player.

Hennig Bluffs Into Aces, Carbo Continues to Build

Level 29 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Bruno Hennig opened to 300,000 from the hijack, which only Gerard Carbo called on the button.

The dealer spread a 7♠K♦2♣ flop, which saw Hennig continue with a bet of 250,000. Once again, Carbo called.

Both players then checked on the K♥ turn, and the 2♠ completed the board.

After a moment of consideration, Hennig moved all in for 1,700,000. After the use of a time extension, Carbo put one chip into the middle, signifying a call.

Hennig showed that he was bluffing, flipping over 9♥8♥. Carbo had a slow-played A♥A♣ and, as such, eliminated Hennig.

Cooler Sees Barker Double

Stewart Morrison

Level 29 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

The action was joined with roughly 1,800,000 already in the pot after some preflop raising.

On a 6♠Q♠2♠ flop, Isaac Barker manoeuvred his remaining stack of 2,045,000 into the middle and was at risk versus Manuel Ferrari.

Isaac Barker: A♠A♣ All in
Manuel Ferrari: K♥K♦

Ferrari had fallen foul of the deck, as his pocket kings had run into the aces of Barker.

With the flush draw as insurance, there was no drama for Barker, as the Q♦ turn and 8♥ river completed the board, earning him a full double up.

Player	Chips	Progress
Isaac Barker	5,900,000 3,500,000	3,500,000
Manuel Ferrari	2,700,000 3,600,000	3,600,000

Level 29 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Jeff Kimber shoved all in for 1,000,000 in middle position and was looked up by Michael Prendergast on the button.

Jeff Kimber: K♣10♠ All in
Michael Prendergast: A♥J♣

Kimber had one out to a chop after the 3♥A♣3♠3♣ turn, but the K♠ river did not bring the final three on the felt. Prendergast raked in the pot, eliminating Kimber and conquering the chip lead at the table.

Palandiuk Flops Set to Bust Clossick

Stewart Morrison

Level 29 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

When the action folded to James Clossick, he moved all in for 1,320,000. Vasyl Palandiuk called to put him at risk, and the rest of the table got out of the way.

James Clossick: 10♠10♥ All in
Vasyl Palandiuk: 8♦8♣

Clossick looked set for a double up, but the 8♠J♥K♠ flop had other ideas, as it improved Palandiuk to a set.

The A♠ turn gave Clossick renewed hope, picking up a straight and flush draw.

Alas, it was not to be as the 4♣ river consigned him to his fate, and he was eliminated.
