Table 26

Luke Marsh and Nichan Khorchidian have found themselves seated together in the corner of the room and both just tangled in a small pot.

Marsh raised from under the gun to 5,500 and Khorchidian three-bet to 16,000 from the next seat. When it got back to Marsh, he stuck in the call.

On the flop of K77, Marsh checked, Khorchidian bet 9,000, and Marsh quickly folded.

Vazic Chips Up

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

The flop showed 773 and Philip Joyce checked from the big blind. Stojan Vazic bet 6,500 from under the gun which got called only by Xiaosheng Zheng on the button.

Both players checked the A turn for the 3 to drop on the river. Vazic bet out for 17,000, which caused Zheng to ponder briefly before tossing his cards into the muck and relinquishing the pot to Vazic.

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante
Recep Aydemir
Recep Aydemir

On a flop of A102 Recep Aydemir was first to act out of the small blind and checked. Mario Colavita checked from under the gun and Maciej Komorowski bet 11,000 from the next position. Aydemir check-shoved for 44,000, which got a fold from Colavita, but a call by Komorowski.

Recep Aydemir: A10 All in
Maciej Komorowski: KJ

Aydemir was ahead with top two pair and just had to fade a queen to double-up. The rest of the board ran out 6J and Aydemir stayed alive.

Sick Flop Sees Ghasan's Set Go Down in Flames

Level 12 : Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

Imad Saab opened and then called a three-bet of 13,000 from Ibrahim Ghasan to see a flop of K10Q. Saab checked, Ghasan bet 10,000, Saab shoved just over 60,000, and Ghasan called off his stack of slighty less.

Ibrahim Ghasan: 1010 All in
Imad Saab: J9

A sick flop saw Ghasan flop bottom set, but he was no good against the flopped straight of Saab. Ghasan needed the board to pair on the turn or river but the runout of 54 didn't help him, and he was sent on his way early on Day 2.

The flop came down K92 and Nemutlu check-called a bet of 7,000 from Treccarichi.

The two players checked upon seeing the 9 turn and the 5 came on the river. Nemutlu led out for 37,000 and this forced a quick fold from Treccarichi.

Quinn Gives Spataru an Early Test

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

On a full board of 32369, there were around 150,000 chips in the pot when Edward Quinn moved all in from the small blind, which gave Andrei Spataru a decision for his stack of just less than 200,000.

After thinking it over for quite some time, Spataru elected to muck, and Quinn returned his cards to the dealer at lightning speed as he raked in the pot.

Noja Shows the Nuts

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

Nikolay Fal had raised preflop and Danielle Noja defended out of the big blind.

Noja checked to Fal on the A24 flop and Fal put out a continuation-bet of 3,500, which Noja called.

The Q hit the turn and Noja checked again. Fal bet 14,500 with roughly 25,000 behind and was met by a check-shove from Noja. Fal snap-folded and Noja showed he had the goods with 53 for the flopped nuts.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/2,500, 2,500 ante

Joseph Sabe made it 8,000 to go from the small blind and Damir Gabdullin called in the big blind.

They went to a flop of A4J where Sabe continued fora bet of 5,000, and Gabdullin called to see a K drop on the turn. Again, Sabe fired 5,000, and Gabdullin then raised to 17,000. After a while, Sabe called.

A 9 completed the runout and after Sabe checked, Gabdullin shoved, and Sabe quickly called for the remainder of his stack.

Sabe showed he had rivered two pair with A9, and Gabdullin's hand was quickly mucked.
