Level 11 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Azamat Tulepbergenov opened with a raise to 50,000 from the cutoff, and was called by Fabio Peluso on the button and Kirill Shcherbakov in the big blind.

All three players checked through the 5♠8♣9♥ flop.

On the turn 7♥, Shcherbakov bet 80,000, which was called by Peluso.

Level 11 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Brandon Shiels opened 40,000 in the cutoff, and Andrey Litvinov defended the big blind.

When the 10♥3♣2♥ flop hit the felt, Litvinov check-called a bet of 45,000.

The 7♣ hit the turn, and Litvinov checked once again before Sheils flung 500,000 across the line. Litvinov had 215,000 remaining, and snap-called.

Andrey Litvinov: 7♠3♠ All in
Brandon Shiels: A♥5♥

Litvinov turned two pair and was able to fade the straight and flush draw of Shiels as the 10♦ rolled off one the river.

Level 11 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

After Mihai Niste open-raised, Aleksi Naski went all in with his already very small stack holding 8♠7♣, and Niste called with K♠10♥.

The board didn't offer any help to Naski, revealing 3♣9♠4♠K♥Q♠. Naski was sent to the rail, while Niste boosted his stack to over 1,500,000.

That wasn't what he wanted when Martin Diaz went all in with A♥6♦ and received a call from Nuri Hadioglu, who held A♦Q♦.

The flop revealed Q♥A♠Q♣, leaving Diaz hoping for the last ace in the deck to survive. Unfortunately, luck wasn't on his side, and he busted out after the turn and river showed 3♠9♦.

Level 11 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

There was an open to 40,000, and Leonid Orman three-bet to 85,000 next to act. Antoine Hasbani put in the four-bet jam for 310,000 in the small blind, and the original raiser got out of the way before Orman dropped a chip across the line to call.

Antoine Hasbani: 10♦10♣ All in
Leonid Orman: A♠A♥

The J♥9♣2♣ flop missed both players, and the A♦ turn meant Hasbani was drawing dead. The 7♠ river was just a formality as Hasbani began walking away from the table.

Level 11 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

A player in early position raised before Bernard Larabi three-bet to 85,000 in the hijack. The action folded back around to the original raiser, and he made the call.

When the K♣9♣6♣ flop hit the felt, the early position player quickly check-folded to a continuation bet of 30,000.

Level 11 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Pavel Frolov jammed for 195,000 from the cutoff, and Maksim Bura called next to act.

Pavel Frolov: A♣6♥ All in
Maksim Bura: A♦J♥

Bura had Frolov dominated but the 9♦6♠5♣ flop paired Frolov's six to take the lead. The 5♦ turn, and 2♠ river were no help for Bura as Frolov collected his double.

Three Way All-In Pays Off for One

Sava Krink

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

Even the dealer was perplexed when three players with big stacks revealed their hands after a three-way all-in.

Yuksel Savsa: A♦10♥ All in
Milos Petakovic: A♣3♣ All in
Fabio Peluso: 8♠8♦

The board displayed 10♣8♣A♥Q♣7♠, making it a clear case of collusion. However, the flush tripled up, and the remainder of the pot went to Peluso, who had the most chips before this hand.

Player	Chips	Progress
Milos Petakovic	1,800,000 1,800,000	1,800,000
Fabio Peluso	890,000 480,000	480,000
