Sabe Doesn't Want to Share With Shornikau

Level 13 : Blinds 1,500/3,500, 3,500 ante
Maksim Shornikau
Maksim Shornikau

Maksim Shornikau made it 7,500 from middle position before Joseph Sabe three-bet to 28,000 from the button. Shornikau made the call when it got back to him.

Both players checked the J♥A♠Q♠ flop to see the K♥ appear on the turn. Shornikau led out for 16,000, and Sabe called.

The 10♠ appeared on the river, which brought in the front door flush and created a Broadway straight on the board. Shornikau checked, and Sabe jammed all in. Both players had similar stacks, so the shove was for around 400,000. Shornikau didn't take long to fold and Sabe turned over the A♥, forcing Shornikau off of a chop.

Konstantin Kvashin made it 7,000 under the gun with only Ravi Sheth calling from the big blind.

Two checks followed the 6♠8♠6♣ flop to see the 3♥ roll off on the turn. Sheth bet out for 12,000, which Kvashin called.

Once the 2♦ fell on the river, Sheth gathered together a big bet of 65,000, which was for roughly half of Kvashin's stack. Kvashin thought for quite some time before flicking in one chip to indicate a call.

Sheth turned over 9♥6♦ for trip sixes, causing Kvashin to match the bet, and then slide his cards face down back to the dealer.

Zoja Fleischer is a very happy woman!

Leonid Orman opened from early position to 7,500 and got a call from the button before Fleischer three-bet from the small blind to 28,000. Orman called and the button folded.

They saw a flop of K♠9♦J♣ where Fleischer continued for 20,000 and Orman called to the 8♥ turn. Fleischer announced a bet of 65,000. Orman shoved 77,000, and Fleischer put in the rest.

Leonid Orman: A♦A♣ All in
Zoja Fleischer: Q♠Q♣

Orman was well ahead with his aces and just needed to fade a queen or a ten on the river to double up. However, he couldn't fade it as the 10♣ on the river gave Fleischer a straight, sending Orman to the rail.

"Yes, yes, yes! I love you! Thank you so much," Fleischer screamed in delight to the dealer.

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Ludovic Periaux raised to 6,500 before Eliyusha three-bet to around 20,000 from the button. When it got back to Periaux, he four-bet jammed for 71,000. Eliyusha reluctantly made the call.

Ludovic Periaux : Q♠Q♣ All in
Eliyusha: 4♣4♠

Eliyusha was in rough shape against Periaux's pocket queens. There was no help for Eliyusha on the 7♦7♣J♣10♦2♥ runout, and almost half of his stack was sent over to Periaux.

On the turn of a board showing 8♠K♦J♣2♠, Mikolaj Zawadzki fired out a bet of 12,000 from the big blind, and Zoja Fleischer immediately called from early position.

The 2♦ river checked through and Zawadzki turned over K♣4♠ for a pair of kings. Fleischer couldn't beat it and mucked, allowing Zawadzki to pull in the pot.

Papapetrou Pips Sibgatova

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Pedro Ingles had raised the button and picked up two callers in the blinds being Alisa Sibgatova & Yiannakis Papapetrou.

Nobody wanted to put a chip in the pot until the river on the 4♥3♣K♠10♣K♥ board, where Sibgatova bet 7,000. Papapetrou took his time and eventually called, then Ingles snap-folded.

Sibgatova showed ace-high with A♠8♦, but Papapetrou had that pipped with A♥9♠ to take the pot.
