Chilaud Concludes Aramonov's Ace-Queen Nightmare

Frank Visser

Level 3 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Maxime Chilaud had opened to 8,000 under the gun when Yury Artamonov shoved in his remaining 80,000 in the next seat over. It folded back to Chilaud, who called off after getting an approximate count.

Yury Artamonov: A♥2♥ All in
Maxime Chilaud: A♣Q♥

Artamonov flopped a gutshot on 5♣8♦3♠ for some extra outs, but the first bullet of his High Roller came to an end after the J♠J♥ runout provided him no further help.

Level 3 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

After heavy preflop action, Yury Artamonov appeared to have five-bet to 160,000 from the small blind. Juan Corral then moved all in for 380,000 from the big blind, and was snap-called.

Juan Corral: A♥Q♦ All in
Yury Artamonov: Q♠Q♣

Artamonov was in a good spot to knock Corral out after the 6♣2♣8♥ flop, but the A♠ turn left him with one out. The 7♦ river did not bring it, doubling up Corral and leaving Artamonov with a stack of 20 big blinds.

Level 3 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Alessio Isaia raised to 8,000 as the first to act. Gytis Lazauninkas bumped it up to 26,000 in the hijack before Dmitry Zakharov four-bet to 62,000 from the big blind.

Isaia quickly got out of the way, but Lazauninkas stuck around and called. Zakharov continued for 27,000 on the 5♦K♦2♣ flop and Lazauninkas called. The 6♣ turn caused Zakharov to spend one time bank, after which he bet 110,000.

Lazauninkas deemed the bet to be too much and let go of his cards, surrendering the pot.

Level 2 : Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante

Catching the action on a completed board of 2♥5♥8♦5♣3♣, the player in the big blind checked over to Mikalai Vaskaboinikau in the cutoff. Vaskaboinikau then added his stack of 258,000 to the pot of 220,000.

The big blind did not take long before he flicked in a calling chip. Vaskaboinikau tabled 9♠5♠ for three fives, winning against the 8♥6♦ of his opponent and raking in an early double-up.

Catching the action on a flop of Q♥2♣5♠, there were 141,000 chips in the pot when the big blind fired a bet of 33,000 in the middle. Gytis Lazauninkas called in the cutoff, after which the 7♠ turn was dealt.

The big blind decided to check over to Lazauninkas, who took the opportunity to slide 27,000 in the middle. This was enough to take the pot as the big blind quickly mucked his cards.
