Quads For Alajmi!

Level 9 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Anatoliy Zlotnikov made it 16,000 to go and then Abdullah Alajmi shoved from the next seat for 225,000. When it got back to Zlotnikov, he call off his stack of around 200,000.

Anatoliy Zlotnikov: 9♣9♠ All in
Abdullah Alajmi: 8♦8♣

Zlotnikov was well ahead with his nines but a flop of 8♥6♣J♠ gave Alajmi a set. The hand was all over on the turn as Alajmi improved to quads when the 8♠ peeled off, leaving Zlotnikov drawing dead.

A meaningless K♥ dropped on the river, confirming Zlotnikov's elimination.

Level 10 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

The clock has just ticked into Level 10, marking the final stretch for late registration in Day 1a of the $2,200 Luxon Pay Grand Final. So far, 333 entries have been recorded, and 190 players remain in contention as the field battles through the last of the 30-minute levels.

Registration will officially close at the end of this level, and the final turnout has already blown past expectations for a Monday opener—setting the stage for a potentially record-breaking event.

Level 10 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Georgios Tsouloftas just check-shoved the flop against his table neighbor and earned himself some extra chips.

There were already around 175,000 in the middle on a 8♣4♣Q♦ flop when Georgios Tsouloftas checked from the small blind and the big blind fired 60,000. Tsouloftas used some extra time before he shoved for 195,000. There was no immediate action from the big blind, who eventually folded his hand, allowing Tsouloftas to chip up nicely.

Level 10 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

With around 200,000 in the middle on a 6♦Q♠6♠8♥K♥ board, the action was checked to Konstantin Voronin, who fired a big overbet of 350,000.

Voronin's opponent, two seats to his right, was in the tank for some time and used up a few time banks while he decided how to proceed. Not long after, he slammed down a stack of chips and called.

Voronin then tabled 6♥4♦ for trips, and beat the Q♦J♥ of his opponent.

Level 11 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Guo Liang Wei just scored an effective triple-up to bring his stack towards the half a million mark.

Wei shoved for 155,000 from middle position and Elvijs Kergalvis called for a bit less in the hijack. A player on the button also shoved for 217,000, and the rest of the table folded.

Elvijs Kergalvis: A♦J♦ All in
Guo Liang Wei: 9♦9♠ All in
Button: A♣Q♣

Wei held the lead with his nines and took a huge leap toward claiming the pot when the flop came down 9♣2♦3♠, giving him top set. A 5♠ on the turn did give the other two players a gutshot, but the K♣ river bricked out, earning Wei the pot and eliminated Kergalvis.
