Brutal River Halts Boellis' Future in the Tournament

Level 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Giuliano Boellis
Giuliano Boellis

Nenad Dukic made it 80,000 from the hijack with Xuming Qi calling out of the cutoff. Giuliano Boellis squeezed all in from the button for 780,000, which forced Dukic to fold. Qi called for over half his stack and the cards were turned over.

Giuliano Boellis: AQ All in
Xuming Qi: A10

Boellis had the better kicker with his ace, and looked likely to score a huge double up. The AK8 flop gave both players top pair. The 3 hit the turn, and the 10 appeared on the river to give Qi two pair. Boellis was out, and Qi moved up to around 1,600,000.

Dukic Shows One

Level 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Nenad Dukic
Nenad Dukic

Heads-up to a flop of 483 where Nenad Dukic checked from the cutoff, and Xuming Qi bet 275,000 from the button. Dukic stuck around with a call.

Both players checked the J turn to see the 7 fall on the river. Dukic jammed for Qi's remaining 600,000, prompting Qi to go into the tank. After tanking for quite some time, Qi folded, and Dukic flipped over just the 3 and said: "It's a pretty good one to show."

Hasbani Spikes the River to Stay Alive

Level 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Antoine Hasbani jammed from middle position for 585,000, and was called by Tamazi Skhirtladze in the next seat, who had just a few big blinds more.

Antoine Hasbani: AQ All in
Tamazi Skhirtladze: 99

It was an important flip for both players' future in the tournament. The 275 flop was great for Skhirtladze's pocket nines. The 2 turn left Hasbani needing to hit the river to survive. The A peeled off on the river to give Hasbani the winner with a pair of aces.

The pot was pushed to Hasbani, and Skhirtladze was left with just 100,000.
