Dukic Busts Lie

Sava Krink

Level 5 : Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

The action began harmless with Aylar Lie raising from the cutoff. One player called, but Nenad Dukic, in the big blind, opted for a three-bet. Lie responded by going all-in, and Dukic swiftly called without hesitation.

Aylar Lie: K♠K♣ All in
Nenad Dukic: A♠K♥

Lie's aspirations for a double-up were swiftly dashed as the flop revealed A♦A♥10♣. With little hope remaining, the turn and river cards 9♦4♥ failed to provide any miracles.

Level 5 : Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

On a board of 2♠J♠4♣4♥6♠ with 145,000 in the pot, Samuel Dray in the big blind bet 40,000. Garik Tamasyan in middle position put a pile of chips in front of him to raise to 130,000, but Dray understood this action as a call, so he flipped over Q♠4♠ for a flush.

A floorman was called and explained to Dray that he could do whatever he wanted as Tamasyan's action was a raise.

Dray went deep into the tank, using several time banks. "You show if I fold?" he asked in English. "Fold before," answered Tamasyan in Russian, with the dealer acting as the translator.

Dray eventually chose to fold and Tamasyan revealed the 10♠. "Good fold," he said a few minutes later.

Level 6 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

After an open by a player under the gun called twice, Stanislav Tishkevich on the button three-bet to 65,000. The big blind called, as well as Dmitrii Danilov in middle position.

Tishkevich continued for 40,000 on the K♠5♥7♦ flop. The big blind folded, but Danilov check-called.

On the 7♠ turn, Tishkevich fired a second barrel of 60,000. Danilov immediately raised all-in for 800,000. "Seven?" asked Tishkevich who eventually called, finding himself at risk for almost 300,000.

Stanislav Tishkevich: A♥K♣ All in
Dmitrii Danilov: 5♠3♠

Tishkevich called with two pair, so he just had to avoid spades to win the hand. That's what happened after the 9♥ river, and he doubled up.

Stanislav Tishkevich	950,000 950,000	950,000

Level 6 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Following an initial open raise and a subsequent three-bet to 45,000 by another player, Niall Farrell decided to go all in with his remaining 89,000. His opponent called and both players revealed their hands: Farrell held A♣K♦, while his opponent showed A♦J♠. Despite being in a favorable position, Farrell stood up and remarked, "Was nice meeting you guys," anticipating a loss.

The flop unveiled 9♦7♠5♠. "More spade," Farrell exclaimed, as his opponent held a spade.

Fortunately for Farrell, the turn and river cards, 5♥K♠, played out in his favor, resulting in a double-up.

Reflecting on his earlier pessimism, Farrell explained, "From 2015 to 2017 I won all all-ins, now I am paying for it."
