Voronin Shows Quads

Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

The dealer had already dealt the river of the K♠6♠7♥6♦8♦ board, with Konstantin Voronin leading out for a pot-sized bet of 230,000 from middle position.

Samir Nacer went into the tank on the button, facing a bet for virtually all of his stack. The Day 1a chip leader took off his sunglasses to further study his opponent, taking several minutes before opting to let his hand go.

Voronin flipped over 6♣6♥ to show the table his quad sixes, leaving Nacer feeling better about his decision as the chips were sent to his right.

Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

A big crowd was gathering around start-of-day chip leader Ermanno Pacini's table as a massive pot was taking place. Dore Hajjar was all in for his last 90,000 in the small blind, Armand Matti shoved for 519,000 under the gun, and Pacini put both opponents at risk on the button.

Dore Hajjar: Q♣Q♥ All in
Armand Matti: A♥A♣ All in
Ermanno Pacini: K♠K♦

It was a huge cooler as all three players woke up with big pocket pairs, while Matti was ahead with his aces. The board ran out J♣6♣J♠7♦A♦ and Matti improved to a full house on the river, sending Hajjar to the rail while earning a double up off Pacini.

"What a hand. The Main Event is like PokerStars. Aces versus kings versus queens," tablemate Safi Haidar said.

Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

On a flop of J♦9♥A♠, Amjad Nader got his last 246,000 in the middle from the hijack and was up against Maher Achour on the button.

Amjad Nader: K♦Q♣ All in
Maher Achour: A♥J♣

Achour was ahead with top two pair, while Nader was looking to complete a straight draw to stay alive. The 4♣ turn was no help, but the 10♥ fell on the river to give Nader his straight. Nader jumped out of his seat and let out a big fist pump as Achour snapped a photo of the board before surrending the pot.

"I had two tens," a tablemate told Nader, suggesting he had hit one of the last two in the deck.

With action heads-up to the 10♠9♠4♠ flop, Symeon Alexandridis was all in for 239,000 and at risk against Tanios Kanaan.

Symeon Alexandridis: K♠J♠ All in
Tanios Kanaan: A♠10♥

Alexandridis flopped a flush and was looking to dodge another spade. The 6♣ turn and 3♣ river were no help to Kanaan, who was left with just 4,000 chips and busted to Alexandridis on the very next hand.

Cristinel Dumitru was already all in from the hijack as Volodymyr Drokin and Stefan Toderita saw a flop of 9♣7♣5♠ with around 400,000 in the pot.

Both players checked to the 3♠ turn, where Drokin announced he was all in from the small blind. Toderita quickly folded in middle position and Drokin turned over A♥A♠.

Dumitru tossed A♦Q♦ into the muck even before the Q♠ fell on the river as he made his exit.

Around 150,000 was in the pot as Adrian State and Simone Pascucci went heads-up to a flop of K♦8♦2♥. Pascucci then bet 45,000 from the hijack and State called in middle position.

The turn was the K♠ and Pascucci bet 120,000. State again called and the J♦ fell on the river. State then led out for 50,000.

Pascucci spent a few minutes in the tank before folding as State took down the big pot without a showdown.
