In a preflop confrontation Herodotos Partakkis found himself all in for roughly 40,000 from middle position against Tugce Hursoz in the cutoff who covered.
Herodotos Partakkis: A♣Q♥
Tugce Hursoz: A♠K♠
Hursoz was ahead with a bigger ace and remained so on the 8♣A♦6♦8♠3♣ runout to score the knockout and take down a decent pot.
Level 8
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Halil Tasyurek opened to 5,000 from under the gun and received calls from Alisa Sibgatova in middle position, Ivan Govorov on the button and Abdelmajid Chiboub in the small blind.
All four players checked the 10♠6♥9♣ flop leading to the 10♣ on the turn. Tasyurek bet 9,000 and was called by Sibgatova while both Govorov and Chiboub got out of the way.
Tasyurek checked on the 6♦ river and Sibgatova bet 15,000. Tasyurek snap-called.
Sibgatova could only show down 5♦5♣ for a pair of fives that had been counterfeited by the double board-pairing river. Tasyurek tabled K♣Q♥ for just a king kicker to the two pair that was already on the board to take down a sizable pot.
Level 8
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Viktor Yugay opened to 6,000 from early position before Umut Yukselier three-bet to 15,500 from middle position. Sergey Bortsov called in the hijack before Recep Ankarali four-bet to 36,000 from the button. Yugay got out of the way, Yukselier called for slightly less to put himself at risk and Bortsov called as well.
The flop came Q♣10♠3♥. Ankarali bet 50,000, Bortsov moved all in for approximately 83,000 and Ankarali made the call to put Bortsov at risk.
Umut Yukselier: A♥K♦
Sergey Bortsov: 10♣10♥
Recep Ankarali: A♠K♥
Bortsov was well ahead with middle set and only needed to fade a gutshot straight draw from his opponents to avoid elimination. The 8♥ turn and 8♦ river were bricks and Bortsov received nearly a full triple up while Yukselier was sent to the rail and Ankarli was reduced to just roughly 16 big blinds.
