Son's Aces Turn into a Straight

Level 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Petr Son
Petr Son

Petr Son made it 16,000 to go from under the gun with Ma calling from the next seat, and Adrian State defending his big blind.

State checked first on the 243 flop, and Son threw out a bet of 17,000. Ma immediately raised to 50,000, which only Son called.

The 9 turn and 5 river checked down and Ma turned over 77 for a pair of sevens. However, this was second best to the AA of Son for a straight.

M'Hiri Bluffs Into Chernikov's Set

Level 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Aleksandr Chernikov
Aleksandr Chernikov

Aleksandr Chernikov made it 16,000 to go from hijack and Chakib M'Hiri three-bet the button to 42,000. When it got back to Chernikov, he called.

Both saw the 652 flop, where Chernikov checked it over and M'Hiri fired a continuation-bet of 32,000. Chernikov then raised to 77,000, which sent M'Hiri into the tank. M'Hiri had around 275,000 in his stack and decided he wanted to invest all of it and shoved. Chernikov snap-called.

Chakib M'Hiri: AJ All in
Aleksandr Chernikov: 55

M'Hiri was drawing dead to a chop, but the 7 turn left him out the door. A meaningless K hit the river, and M'Hiri wished his tablemates good luck as he departed.

Chernikov, on the other hand, is up to around 1,250,000!

Ruijs Figures it Out & Makes the Right Call

Level 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Joris Ruijs
Joris Ruijs

With around 150,000 in the pot on a completed board of 5K3J8, Joris Ruijs checked from the small blind, and faced a shove from Rami Nohra out of the big blind.

Ruijs had the effective stack, so the bet was for all of his 153,000 chips. Ruijs did some inventory and was visibly distressed by the spot he had been put in. After looking at his cards one last time, Ruijs made the call.

Nohra revealed a bluff with A10 for ace-high, and lost the pot to Ruijs' K2 for a pair of kings.

Sibgatova Sails to a Double-Up

Level 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Alisa Sibgatova found a lucky four to stay alive after getting it in behind against Maksim Shornikau. Sibgatova shoved the button for 88,000 and Shornikau wasted no time in flicking the call from the big blind.

Alisa Sibgatova: A4 All in
Maksim Shornikau: AJ

A flop of 745 saw Sibgatova take the lead, one that she would not relinquish as the Q10 runout kept her in the running.

Razinkov Drills an Ace on the Turn

Level 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Aleksandr Razinkov made it 16,000 to go from middle position and Meir Batyrkhanov three-bet the button to 43,000. When it got back to Razinkov, he called.

Both saw a flop of 3KJ flop, where Razinkov checked and Batyrkhanov continued with a bet of 21,000. Razinkov then put in a raise to 45,000, which Batyrkhanov called.

On the A turn, Razinkov fired again for 30,000 and Batyrkhanov called to see the 8 fall on the river, where both quickly checked it down.

Razinkov showed A9 for a pair of aces, and Batyrkhanov was furious as he flipped KQ for a pair of kings.

Wei Ends Svintsov's Tournament

Level 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Guo Liang Wei
Guo Liang Wei

OIeg Svintsov committed his last 32,000 into the middle from the hijack with only Guo Liang Wei making the call to try and bust him from the cutoff.

Oleg Svintsov: KQ All in
Guo Liang Wei: A7

Wei was slightly ahead, but Svintsov had two Broadway cards working for him. However, the board of 7625A contained no picture cards, and Wei's top two pair won the pot, sending Svintsov to the rail.
