Frank Visser

Level 31 : Blinds 600,000/1,200,000, 1,200,000 ante

Tymofii Savkin made it 1,200,000 to go as first to act, having 9♦9♣. Alvaro Gonza looked down at A♦Q♥ and used one time bank before calling in the cutoff.

The J♦8♦4♦ flop gave both players a flush draw. Savkin checked to Gonza, who fired 2,000,000 in the middle. Savkin tossed in a quick call, after which the J♥ turn was dealt.

Savkin opted for a second check, this time quickly releasing his cards when Gonza sized up to 5,000,000.

Konstantin Voronin made the minimum raise to 2,400,000 under the gun. Alexandru Lupuleac was on the button and used one of his time banks before three-betting to 5,200,000.

Voronin quickly called once the action had folded back to him, after which he checked the 10♣K♦J♣ flop to Lupuleac.

Lupuleac continued for 2,800,000, but Voronin found a raise to 6,000,000. Lupuleac thought it over for a while, eventually deciding to put his tournament life at risk with an all-in reraise to 14,800,000.

Voronin snap-called and revealed some bad news for Lupuleac.

Alexandru Lupuleac: A♥A♣ All in
Konstantin Voronin: A♠Q♠

Voronin had flopped the stone-cold nuts against the aces of Lupuleac. The 10♥turn gave the Romanian some outs, but the 3♠ river bricked, leaving Lupuleac as the first casualty of the final table.

Level 30 : Blinds 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante

Julian Menhardt raised his J♦J♣ to 2,000,000 under the gun. Konstantin Voronin fancied a call in the small blind with Q♦J♥ and tossed in chips.

Voronin flopped trips on Q♣Q♠5♥, on which he check-called Menhardt's bet of 1,600,000. The 4♣ turn saw Menhardt size up to 4,600,000 after a second check by Voronin, after which Voronin instantly raised to 10,000,000.

Menhardt wisely let go of his jacks, seeing him dive under the 20 big blind mark.

Bryksin Picks Bad Timing to Squeeze

Level 30 : Blinds 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante

Sebastian Ionita looked down at A♥A♣ under the gun, which he raised to 2,000,000. Nasser Al Mujaibel wanted to see a flop in the hijack with 10♥8♥ and tossed in a call before the action folded to Ivan Bryksin on the button.

He had A♦9♠, with which he elected to three-bet to 7,700,000. Ionita tossed in a time bank before clicking it back to 13,000,000, which was enough to let both of his opponents muck their cards.

Nasser Al Mujaibel sat in middle position when he raised to 2,000,000 with K♠Q♠. It folded to Konstantin Voronin on the button, who put in a three-bet to 5,500,000 with A♣3♣.

Al Mujaibel tossed in the extra chips as the 9♥Q♦A♥ flop was dealt. Al Mujaibel checked to Voronin, who bet 3,000,000. Al Mujaibel flicked in a quick call, after which the 10♣ turn was checked by both.

As soon as the J♠ hit the river, Al Mujaibel put in a massive bet of 13,000,000. After a while, Voronin let go of his top pair as Mujaibel chipped up further.

Al Mujaibel Lets Better Hand Fold

Level 30 : Blinds 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante

Tymofii Savkin saw A♥Q♣ in early position and raised to 2,000,000. Nasser Al Mujaibel called in middle position with Q♥9♥, as did Sebastian Ionita in the big blind, holding J♠9♣.

Everyone flopped a piece on Q♦7♠J♥. Ionita checked his middle pair to Savkin, who bet 2,000,000. Al Mujaibel then raised to 8,000,000, folding out Ionuta.

Savkin thought for a good while but eventually mucked his cards as well as Mujaibel took down the pot with the worse kicker.

Sebastian Ionita raised to 2,000,000 under the gun with 9♥9♦. Vlado Banicevic called in middle position with 6♠6♣ before Ivan Bryksin piled in 7,200,000 chips on the button with 7♥7♦.

Ionita quickly released the highest pair, but Banicevic stuck around for a flop, which was dealt 2♣Q♦7♣. Banicevic checked to Bryksin, who bet 5,300,000 with his set.

Banicevic quickly let go of his sixes as the first pot of the final table was shipped to Bryksin.
