Frank Visser

Level 33 : Blinds 1,000,000/2,000,000, 2,000,000 ante

It folded to Ivan Bryksin on the button, who raised to 4,500,000. Konstantin Voronin was in the big blind and called once the action was on him.

Bryksin fired bets of 3,000,000 on the 6♣K♦9♦ flop and 5,000,000 on the 3♥ turn, both times being check-called by Voronin.

The 10♣ river was then checked to showdown, where Bryksin's K♠Q♦ out-kicked Voronin's K♣7♣ and won him the pot.

Level 32 : Blinds 750,000/1,500,000, 1,500,000 ante

Sebastian Ionita found A♣3♣ under the gun and raised to 2,400,000. It folded to Konstantin Voronin in the big blind, who tossed in a call with 9♣6♥.

Voronin check-called Ionita's bet of 2,700,000 on the 8♦10♣Q♣ flop before the 2♠ turn went check-check. The K♥ arrived on the river and sent Voronin into the tank.

After a while, he came out with a bet of 3,200,000. Ionita had just ace-high but gave it some good thought. Eventually, though, he mucked his cards as Voronin got his bluff through.
