Karaarslan Shows Down Cowboys

Level 14 : 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Both players checked the 3 river. Karaarslan tabled KK for an overpair which was good enough to take the pot.

Cakir Leaves Luo with Crumbs

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Shuang Luo opened to 12,000 from under the gun and received calls from Aleksandr Kirichenko in the cutoff and Razvan Sabau in the small blind before Murad Cakir moved all in for 128,000 in the big blind. Luo reshoved with a covering stack, forcing folds from Kirichenko to leave Cakir at risk.

Murad Cakir: A10
Shuang Luo: 76

Cakir's ace-ten was ahead preflop and remained so on the 9QKQ3 runout to secure a full double up while Luo was left with just over three big blinds.

Sabau Scores a Double Knockout

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Razvan Sabau
Razvan Sabau

Yunsheng Sun opened to 15,000 from early position and received a call from Selim Suner in the hijack before Razvan Sabau three-bet to 33,000 on the button. Shuang Luo moved all in for her last 20,000 from the big blind and Sun made the call before Suner moved all in for roughly 200,000. Sabau called, covering all players, and Sun got out of the way.

Shuang Luo: 73
Selim Suner: AQ
Razvan Sabau: AK

Suner pulled ahead on the Q710 flop but Sabau reclaimed the lead on the K turn. The K river was of no help to Luo or Suner and both were sent to the rail courtesy of Sabau who took down a healthy pot to pass one million chips.

Abdurrezzak Rivers Broadway

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Cihan Abdurrezzak opened to 18,000 from middle position and Karim Abdelhamid called from the button.

The flop came KQ5 and Abdelhamid check-called an 18,000 continuation bet from Abdurrezzak.

Both players checked the 7 turn leading to the 10 river. Abdelhamid checked and Abdurrezzak bet 50,000. Abdelhamid looked frustrated with the situation but ultimately put in the call.

Abdurrezzak tabled AJ for the nut-straight to take down a decent pot.

Fal Forces a Fold

Level 16 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

With two players seeing a board of 1026 and roughly 100,000 already in the middle, Joseph Sabe checked from under the gun and called a 22,000 bet from Nikolay Fal in early position.

Sabe checked again on the J turn and Fal bet 76,000 which was enough to force a fold from Sabe.

Pudel Doubles Through the Chip Leader

Level 16 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Nils Pudel opened to 16,000 from the hijack and Andrei Daniliuk moved all in from the big blind, covering Pudel's stack of 123,000. Pudel made the call and was at risk.

Nils Pudel: JJ
Andrei Daniliuk: KQ

The board ran out A589A. Pudel's pocket jacks held and he secured a full double up through Daniliuk who still has easily the largest stack in the tournament currently despite the minor setback.
