Roman Stoika
Roman Stoika

There was a raise to 7,000 from under the gun before Roman Stoika three-bet to 19,000 from the next position. Konstantin Kvashin cold-called from the button, but the initial raiser folded.

The flop fell 352 and Stoika fired a continuation-bet of 8,000. Kvashin decided to call.

The two players checked the 5 turn to see the 7 land on the river. Stoika put out a bet of 58,000 and this time, Kvashin quickly folded.

Murtazin Stays Alive With a Set of Queens

Level 14 : Blinds 2,000/3,500, 3,500 ante

The player on the button min-raised to 7,000 and Ilnur Murtazin three-bet shoved out of the small blind for 69,000. After the big blind folded, Murtazin's opponent made the call.

Ilnur Murtazin: QQ All in
Button: 88

Murtazin was in great shape to double up back to over the starting stack with his pocket queens. The flop came down Q97 to put Murtazin in the lead with a set of queens. The 10 turn did give his opponent a straight draw, but the A on the river was safe for Murtazin and he doubled up.

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

Robbie Schiffbauer had his short stack of around 43,000 in the middle and was put at risk by Timur Margolin.

Robbie Schiffbauer: AQ All in
Timur Margolin: AK

Schiffbauer was on the ropes, but found a queen on the 88Q flop to take the lead. Nothing changed on either the 2 turn or 9 river, which meant Schiffbauer stayed alive.

Ehsan Amiri opened with a raise to 8,000 from middle position and Cristinel Dumitru three-bet to 25,000 from the cutoff. Amiri put in the call.

The flop came down 310K and Amiri check-called a bet of 20,000 from Dumitru.

When the 4 landed on the turn, Amiri shoved for Dumitru's remaining 56,000. Dumitru looked back at his cards then made the call to put himself at risk.

Cristinel Dumitru: AA All in
Ehsan Amiri: KJ

Dumitru was ahead with his pocket aces, and just had to fade Amiri's two pair outs on the river. A clean 6 appeared on the river and Dumitru doubled up through Amiri.

Puczylowski Bluffs Into Jalba

Level 13 : Blinds 1,500/3,500, 3,500 ante
Eusebiu Jalba
Eusebiu Jalba

Eusebiu Jalba opened from the hijack to 7,000 and Marcin Puczylowski made a three-bet of 31,000 out of the small blind. When it got back to Jalba, he called.

They both saw a flop of 10J6 where Puczylowski made a big continuation-bet of 51,000. Jalba took some time, counted out his stack, then made the call.

A 5 on the turn was checked by both players to the board-pairing 5 river, where Puczylowski grabbed a bunch of white chips, worth 25,000 each, and fired out 125,000. Jalba went back to his stack and started counting, then after around a minute, he tossed in the call.

Puczylowski immediately showed KQ for a busted open-ender, and Jalba flipped AJ for a pair of jacks to scoop the pot.
