Iermolcheva on the Rise

Level 7 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

The cut-off bet 5,500, and Olga Iermolcheva raised to 15,000 from the button, which was called by the cut off.

The flop of 10109 saw Iermolcheva bet 50,000 which was enough to put her opponent all in. The cut off made the call.

Cut off: QJ All in
Olga Iermolcheva : AQ

Iermolcheva was ahead with ace-high, but the cut off had a plethora of outs. The A on the turn reduced the cut off's outs by three; leaving just his straight outs. It was a 10 brick on the river to give Iermolcheva a boat and sent the cut off to the exit.

Svesko Doubles with Trips

Level 7 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

All the chips went into the middle preflop with Darko Svesko in the small blind at risk for 103,000. He was covered by Andrei Mashinistov in the big blind.

Darko Svesko: 1010 All in
Andrei Mashinistov: AQ

A classic flip and Svesko secured the double up after the runout of K10642 improved the Serbian to a set. It was only a slight flesh wound for Mashinistov however.

Agpur Puts Al-Kubasi in the Tank

Level 6 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

With 42,000 in the middle on a flop of 1064, Ali Muthana Al-Kubasi bet 14,000 from the big blind. Cem Agpur on the button made the call.

The 4 came on the turn to pair the board and bring in the spade flush draw. Al-Kubasi bet 45,000, which was roughly half of his remaining stack. Agpur did not take long to move all in.

This put Al-Kubasi deep into the tank and he fanned his time bank cards in front of him to give the dealer easy access. After burning two of them he opted to fold.

Sokolovsky Takes Out Liperis and Takes Chip Lead

Level 6 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Yiannis Liperis
Yiannis Liperis

With around 50,000 in the middle on the flop of 643, Yiannis Liperis moved all in for 66,000 from the button. Alexander Sokolovsky from under the gun made the call.

Yiannis Liperis: A2 All in
Alexander Sokolovsky QQ

Sokolovsky was ahead with a pair of ladies, but Liperis had plenty of outs with one overcard, gut-shot straight, flush and steel wheel draws. Unfortunately the board bricked out for the Cypriot as the 94 completed the runout and Sokolovsky shot to the top of the chip rankings.

Ketlerov's Shove Gets Through

Level 5 : Blinds 500/1,500, 1,500 ante

With 10,000 in the middle at the turn with a board of 10944, Shuang Luo bet 6,500 from the button and was called by Mihail Ketlerov in the big blind.

The 6 completed the run-out and Luo bet 17,000. Ketlerov took a few seconds before moving all in for 58,000. Luo winced and let go of her cards to give Ketlerov the pot.
