Erkus Takes Out Dupont

Josh Noy

Level 25 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Henry Dupont and Omer Erkus traded raises as the rest of the table got out of the way. Dupont raised almost all of his stack, leaving just a single 100,000 chip behind.

Erkus then asked for the rest, announcing all in and the call was made.

Henry Dupont: A♥K♣ All in
Omer Erkus: A♠A♣

Dupont got up and wished the rest of the table good luck, as the Q♥5♣8♠9♠2♠ runout provided no help. Erkus added another pile of chips to his stack, while sending Dupont to the rail.

Level 25 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Maroun Jazzar moved all in for 500,000 from early position and Dashinka put him at risk under the gun.

Maroun Jazzar: A♦A♣ All in
Dashinka: 8♠8♦

Jazzar was far ahead with his aces as the K♥5♣10♥4♣ board left him a card away from a double up, but the 8♥ fell on the river to give Dashinka a set and send Jazzar to the rail.

"Not my day," Jazzar said, relating that he earlier had flopped a set of sevens against Amir Saeid's pocket queens, only for Saeid to turn another queen to win the pot.

Gurcan Gungoren raised to 60,000 under the gun before Evgenii Tambovtsev moved all in for 275,000 in middle position. Navid Samavati called in the big blind, as did Gungoren.

Samavati and Gungoren both checked the A♦K♦9♣ flop and the 4♠ fell on the turn. Samavati then bet 280,000 and Gungoren folded, saying he had two sevens.

Tambovtsev showed Q♦Q♣, but Samavati had 9♥9♠ for a flopped set as the river came the 10♣ to seal Tambovtsev's elimination.

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Guy Gorelik was all in for 490,000 on the button and up against Bodo Sbrzesny in the small blind.

Guy Gorelik: 2♥2♦ All in
Bodo Sbrzesny: A♣K♦

"Let's flip," Gorelik said as the flop came J♠6♦3♠. The J♣ turn gave Sbrzesny additional outs to counterfeit Gorelik's pair, but Gorelik held on through the 4♥ river to earn a double up and leave Sbrzesny nursing a short stack.

Gregory Luttke was all in for 560,000 from the cutoff and up against Eros Nastasi on the button.

Gregory Luttke: 8♥8♠ All in
Eros Nastasi: K♦K♣

Nastasi had woken up with kings to leave Luttke at risk of elimination, but the flop brought 9♥8♣Q♣ to give Luttke a set. The rest of the board came 7♦A♣ and Nastasi snapped a photo of the board and let out a few Italian expletives while Luttke dragged in the pot.

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Fredrico Senno and Antonino Venneri built a pot of around 600,000 as they went to the river on a board of J♣4♥10♦6♦10♣. Venneri then moved all in from the cutoff.

Senno was in early position and tanked for several minutes before calling for his last 275,000. Venneri showed K♣Q♥ for a missed straight draw and Senno slammed 5♠5♥ onto the table as he earned the pot with two pair.

"I put him on king-queen," Senno said as he doubled up.

"Wow," Venneri could only manage to say.
