Tyler Foran

Level 29 : Blinds 600,000/1,200,000, 1,200,000 ante

Damir Gabdullin opened A♥J♣ to 2,400,000 in early position, and Leon Sturm defended the big blind with K♥6♠.

The dealer spread a flop of K♦7♠6♥, and Sturm check-raised the bet of 4,200,000 from Gabdullin to 9,800,000. That was enough to earn the pot as Gabdullin mucked his hand.

When the A♥9♥6♦ flop hit the felt, the action checked to Sturm who continued for 2,700,000. Suvorov made the call, and Tleuzhanov mucked his hand.

The J♠ hit the turn, and Suvorov checked once more before Sturm checked back.

The Q♥ landed on the river, giving Sturm Broadway, and Survorov led out for 4,200,000. Sturm put in a raise to 11,800,000, and Suvorov made the call.

Level 32 : Blinds 1,000,000/2,000,000, 2,000,000 ante

Iurii Suvorov jammed 17,300,000 from the small blind, and Assyl Tleuzhanov made the call from the big blind.

Iurii Suvorov: 2♥2♣
Assyl Tleuzhanov: K♥Q♥

The two came in the window as the dealer fanned the J♥9♦2♠ flop, giving Suvorov a set of deuces. Tleuzhanov still had a chance with a gutshot straight draw, but the 8♦ turn, and A♠ river were no help sending the double to Suvorov.
