Anderson Spikes River to Double

Level 16 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

David Anderson moved all in for 99,000, receiving a call from Daniel Peche.

David Anderson: AK All in
Daniel Peche: 66

There was immediate help on the 359 flop for Anderson, although there were some backdoor opportunities.

One of those opportunities materialised on the J turn, giving him a flush draw along with his overcards.

The dealer then burned and turned the K, seeing Anderson spike a pair, giving him a double up.

Level 16 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Sacha Dadbin
Sacha Dadbin

Sacha Dadbin raised to 30,000 from middle position, which only Linus Lind called, defending his big blind.

The flop 62K saw Lind check-call a bet of 25,000, before the action checked through on the 8 turn.

Lind opted to take over the betting lead on the 9 river, doing so with a bet of 32,000. Dadbin made the call before being shown the bad news.

Lind flipped over KQ, and Dadbin mucked his cards.

Double for Schuler

Level 16 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

The action was joined as Vincent Schuler had all of his chips in the middle and was at risk versus Paul David.

Vincent Schuler: 99 All in
Paul David: A10

Schuler stood up in preparation for the worst-case scenario, but he needn't have. The dealer spread a 6QJ52 board, seeing Schuler sit back down and scoop in a full double up.

Popolo Sends Johansson to the Rail

Level 15 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Vincenzo Popolo raised to 36,000 from middle position, which met resistance in the form of a three-shove for 121,000 from Jerry Johansson in the big blind.

The action returned to Popolo, who wasn't in love with the situation, but made the call nonetheless.

Jerry Johansson: 76 All in
Vincenzo Popolo: K9

As it happened, Popolo had the best hand, and it would stay that way as the board came out 7Q9109, seeing Johansson eliminated.
