Huge Double for Iakovlev as he Dodges the World

Level 8 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Michael Iakovlev

Samy Barka opened 20,000 under the gun, and Michael Iakovlev three-bet to 70,000 in the hijack. Barka made the call.

The dealer fanned a flop of 9♦8♦8♠, and Barka check-raised the bet of 42,000 to 500,000. Iakovlev went into the tank, checking his cards multiple times, and after using a time bank, he announced all-in for 606,000. Barka snap-called and both hands were tabled.

Michael Iakovlev: Q♠Q♥ All in
Samy Barka: 7♦6♦

Iakovlev was looking to dodge a ton of outs as Barka flopped an open-ended straight flush draw. The Q♣ turn improved Iakovlev to a full house though, leaving Barka with just two remaining outs, and the 2♣ river wasn't one of them.

Nitsche Sent to the Rail

Level 8 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Dominik Nitsche defended from the big blind after a player in middle position opened to 20,000 and was called once.

The initial raiser continued for 27,000 on the 5♦4♥K♣ flop. The hijack called, then Nitsche moved all-in for 93,000. The middle-position player shoved as well with a bigger stack and made the hijack fold.

Dominik Nitsche: K♦10♥ All in
Middle-position player: K♠Q♠

Both players flopped top pair, but Nitsche was on the edge of elimination as his opponent had a better kicker. The 3♣A♥ runout didn't change anything and Nitsche was eliminated.

Bad Board for Frolov

Level 8 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Pavel Frolov in the big blind and the cutoff raised each other and ended up moving all-in, with Frolic at risk for approximately 230,000.

Pavel Frolov: A♣J♣ All in
Cutoff: 8♥8♠

The 10♣9♠Q♣ flop wasn't the best at all for Frolov, as it gave many draws to his opponent. The 8♦ completed the straight draw, so Frolic was eliminated after the 2♦ river.

The player under the gun opened to 25,000, and he was only called by Romain Retiere to his left.

On a board of 9♦K♣3♦, the under-the-gun player bet 20,000, then fired a second barrel of 45,000. Retiere called both times.

The 10♣ came on the river and after his opponent checked, Retiere bet 179,000. His neighbor went into the tank, but eventually folded.

Level 9 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Xiaoming Weng opened 25,000 on the button, and Fabian Schmidt defended the big blind.

The dealer fanned a flop of 9♥9♠5♠, and Schmidt check-raised the 25,000 bet to 60,000. Weng stuck around with a call.

When the K♦ fell on the turn, Schmidt checked to Weng as he dropped a chip across the line for a bet of 100,000. Schmidt let his hand go as the dealer pushed the pot to Weng.

The under-the-gun player raised to 25,000, and Aleksandr Razinkov called next to act before the big blind jammed all-in for 154,000. The original raiser got out of the way, and Razinkov instantly called.

Big Blind: 4♣4♠ All in
Aleksandr Razinkov: K♣K♥

The 10♣10♠3♣Q♦9♦ run out meant Razinkov's kings were good as his opponent exited the tournament.

Molennar Mucks on the River

Level 9 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

In a five-way limped pot, everybody checked on the 8♦K♦5♠ flop to find the 6♦ turn.

The big blind and two more players checked again, but Michel Molenaar in the cutoff bet 30,000. The button and the big blind folded, and a player in early position made the call. He was the only one to do so.

Both players checked the 8♣ river, and the early-position player flipped over A♦10♥. Molenaar didn't look happy as he revealed the 9♠ before sending his second card into the muck.
