Fal Rivers Straight, Stuns Trip Nines

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

The hijack called and Nikolay Fal also called from the cutoff. The button made it 800 and was called by the small blind, big blind, the hijack, and by Fal.

It went five ways to the flop, which came {4-Clubs}{9-Spades}{6-Hearts}. The big blind lead out for 1,500 and was called by just Fal and the button.

The turn brought the {9-Clubs} and action checked around.

On the {7-Spades} river, the big blind made it 2,200 but Fal concluded that it wasn't enough and raised to 10,000, leaving just 1,700 behind. After the button folded, the big blind went into the tank for about a minute before making the call.

Fal turned over {10-Hearts}{8-Hearts} for the rivered straight and the big blind slammed his {k-Hearts}{9-Hearts} down on the table and put his head in his hands, shocked that his trip nines were no good.

With the win, Fal went back to a hair above starting stack.

On the {j-Spades} turn, Erceylan continued for 3,000. Both of his opponents made the call.

The {2-Diamonds} completed the board and Erceylan put out a third barrel, this time for 7,000, leaving just 10,000 behind. Mehrabian thought for a few seconds before flicking in the chips.

Erceylan tabled {k-Clubs}{9-Clubs} for trip nines and took down the pot.

Ekgardt Gets One Over Ossip

Level 3 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Dieter Ekgardt opened for 800 from under the gun and was called by Kevin Ossip on the button and the big blind.

The flop came {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{6-Hearts} and Ekgardt continued for 1,200. Ossip called while the big blind got out of the way.

The turn brought the {9-Spades} and this time Ekgardt slowed down and tapped the table. Ossip did the same.

On the {4-Clubs} river, Ekgardt put out a bet of around 2,000 and Ossip instantly mucked and the dealer pushed the pot Ekgardt's way.

Ali Mehrabian

Action was caught with 2,300 in the middle on a {2-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} board and Ali Mehrabian, from the hijack, put out a bet of 1,000. The big blind called.

The turn brought the {9-Hearts} and Mehrabian fired a second time for 2,000. The big blind raised to 8,000 and Mehrabian called.

The river brought the {j-Clubs} and after about 20-to-30 seconds of deliberation, the big blind shoved for 21,200. Mehrabian snap-called and turned over {9-Spades}{9-Clubs} for a full house.

The big blind turned over {q-Hearts}{10-Hearts} for a turned straight in addition to an open-ended straight flush draw and quickly exited the tournament area.

Player Runs Triple-Barrel Bluff into Galiullin's Rivered Full House

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Ruslan Galiullin
Ruslan Galiullin

Following a round of betting on the flop, there was 20,000 in the middle on a {5-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{8-Diamonds} board. The big blind fired a second barrel for 8,000 and Ruslan Galiullin called from the button.

The river brought the {10-Hearts} and the big blind shoved and was snapped off by Galiullin, who tabled {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds} for the rivered full house. His opponent hysterically laughed out of the room as he could only table {q-Spades}{9-Diamonds} for a failed triple-barrel bluff and exited the tournament area.

Aslan Flushes Out Deep-Stacked Zimmermann

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

A player in middle position opened to 1,200 and Kemal Aslan three-bet to 3,500 from the hijack. Celine Zimmermann cold-called from the big blind and the middle position came along for the ride.

The flop came {q-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{2-Clubs} and Aslan continued for 4,000. Zimmermann called and the other player got out of the way.

Both players would check the {9-Diamonds} turn but on the {k-Diamonds} river, Aslan fired for 5,800, leaving 6,200 behind. Zimmermann made the call and Aslan turned over {8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} for a flush.

Despite losing the hand, Zimmermann appears to be the biggest stack in the room thus far, having amassed around 130,000 chips.
