Gavrilovich Cut Short

Sava Krink

Level 24 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

The board displayed 2♣6♦J♦Q♦8♥, with approximately 8,000,000 chips already in the pot. Andrei Gladyshev pushed all in with 4,075,000, and it was up to Jenya Gavrilovich to make a decision. Gavrilovich used almost three time bank cards before ultimately making the call, revealing 5♠5♦ for a pair of fives. Gladyshev then revealed Q♦8♦ for two pair, queens and eights, and doubled up. Gavrilovich is now left with a shorter stack of around 3,700,000 chips.

Level 24 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

A few hands later, Andrei Gladyshev and Jenya Gavrilovich faced off again. Gladyshev raised from early position to 900,000, and Gavrilovich put his chips in, although neither he nor the dealer announced an all-in. Everyone else folded to Gladyshev, and Gavrilovich revealed his cards Q♥10♦, as did Gladyshev A♦2♦.

The board revealed 2♥Q♣8♥J♠6♥, and the dealer counted Gavrilovich's chips, which amounted to 950,000 - 50,000 more than Gladyshev's raise. The dealer asked Gladyshev for the additional 50,000, leading to confusion. Since there was no official all-in announcement, and Gladyshev hadn't called, the floor needed to clarify the situation. Ultimately, the floor ruled that since Gladyshev had turned his cards, indicating he was willing to play, he accepted the all-in, even though there was no official announcement from the dealer.

Level 24 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Four players saw the 7♥3♥3♠ flop, and the action checked to Damir Gabdullin in the cutoff who put out a bet of 550,000. Iurii Suvorov quickly folded on the button, while Paul Runcan made the call from the blinds before Alireza Akbarzadehbeshroyeh released his cards.

The Q♣ fell on the turn, and Runcan check-called a bet of 1,275,000 from Gabdullin.

When the 5♠ completed the board, Runcan checked once more. Gabdullin used a time bank before dropping a stack of chips across the line for a bet of 3,500,000.

Runcan used a time bank of his own, and eventually decided on a call. Gabdullin rolled Q♦10♠ for top pair, and Runcan tapped the table as he said, "Nice hand."

Level 24 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Birger Larsen kicked off the action with a raise from the cutoff to 900,000 chips. Koray Korkmaz, positioned in the small blind, responded with a hefty three-bet of 2,800,000 chips, which Larsen decided to call.

The flop came 4♣7♣Q♥. Korkmaz led out with a bet of 2,500,000 chips, which Larsen opted to call.

The tension heightened when Korkmaz went all in on the J♥ turn, putting around 5,400,000 chips at risk. Larsen wasted no time in making the call, revealing J♣J♦ for a set of jacks. Korkmaz showed A♠A♥, holding onto a glimmer of hope for the river card, which unfortunately didn't favor him, revealing the 3♦.

Larsen couldn't contain his joy, celebrating loudly, before stepping away from the table to share his excitement, understanding the disappointment his opponent must have felt.
