Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

The theme of brutal rivers continued as Emrah Cakmak moved all in preflop and was called by Nikolay Fal who had to think for a bit before calling.

Nikolay Fal: {k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}

The flop came {2-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{2-Spades}, the turn was the {j-Hearts} and the river followed the recent pattern of brutal beats as the {k-Spades} came off to bust Cakmak.

Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Rachid Amamou bet 200,000 on a flop of {5-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{7-Spades} and was called by Ghanim Dashti. The turn came the {6-Clubs} and they got the rest of Dashti's 300,000 in the middle.

Amamou turned over {2-Clubs}{2-Spades}, while Dashti had top set with {7-Hearts}{7-Clubs}. The river came the {7-Diamonds} as Dashti made quads.

"A set," Alexander Gofman said.

"Quads," Dashti corrected. "I barely made a dent in your stack," he reassured Amamou.

Alberto Meran
Alberto Meran

A cry of joy was heard from Nuri Hadioglu and Alberto Meran was crestfallen.

The cards on the board showed the damage as Nuri Hadioglu had the {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds} against the {a-}{k-} of Alberto Meran that was swept away.

The{7-Spades}{3-Clubs}{5-Spades}{j-Clubs}{q-Spades} board showed the brutal way in which Meran met his maker as the river queen had sent him to the rail.

Karmatckii Takes Big Pot From Netaliev

Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

There was a beefy pot of around 1,350,000 stewing in the middle on the turn with the board reading {2-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{j-Spades}. From the button, Arsenii Karmatckii bet 1,200,000. Oleg Netaliev called after a few moments to swell the pot even more.

The river came the {10-Clubs}. Both players checked. Netaliev showed the {6-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} but that was beaten by the {k-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} of Karmatckii as he took down the large pot.

Aces Over Kings Rocket Amamou Up the Counts

Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Rachid Amamou and Evgeny Zakharov built a massive pot that ended with Zakharov all in for 2,300,000 in the big blind as Amaou on the button had him covered.

Evgeny Zakharov: {k-Hearts}{k-Spades}
Rachid Amamou: {a-Hearts}{a-Spades}

It was the ultimate cooler for Zakharov, and he received no miracles on the {3-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} board before he left his seat so quickly the tournament officials had to track him down to collect his payout.

"Five times I've had kings against aces," Amamou said as he raked in the pile of chips.

"This is the wrong time to complain," a tablemate said.

Bizokas Pips Warburton

Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

There was a pot of at least 500,000 in the middle and the board read {6-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{k-Spades}. From the small blind, Steven Warburton checked. Juozas Bizokas bet 250,000 from the big blind and Warburton called.

Bizokas tabled the {q-Diamonds}{5-Spades} for the queen high flush. Warburton smiled and flashed the {j-Diamonds} to show his barely beaten flush as he surrendered a few of his chips to his left.
