Level 9 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Ivan Bozhenko
Ivan Bozhenko

Alisa Sibgatova started things off with an open to 2,000 from under the gun and Danilo Solovyev three-bet the cutoff to 5,500. Ivan Bozhenko then shoved for around 27,000 from the big blind, which got Sibgatova to fold, but Solovyev called.

Ivan Bozhenko: J♠J♥ All in
Danila Solovyev: A♥K♦

Bozhenko was ahead with his pair, and stayed there throughout the 6♠10♥6♦3♦2♦ runout to earn the double-up. Solovyev was left with around 20,000, but they soon evaporated and he hit the rail shortly after.

Cisic Hits his Draw to Double Through Kasper

Mehmed Cisic
Mehmed Cisic

With around 10,000 in the middle on a J♣4♠6♠ flop, the chips went flying into the middle between Mehmed Cisic and Ruslan Kasper, which left the former at risk for his stack of around 20,000.

Mehmed Cisic: K♠10♠ All in
Ruslan Kasper: 6♣4♥

Cisic had flopped a flush draw, and he needed to get there as Kasper made two pair. It was a case of instant service for Cisic as the 3♠ turn improved him to a flush, meaning he just needed to fade a six or a four on the river.

Fortunately for Cisic, he managed to dodge the outs as the K♦ river secured him a double-up.

Giulio Gallo
Giulio Gallo

Giulio Gallo had his stack of around 20,000 in the middle from the big blind and was put at risk by Tarik Ugural, who was on the button.

Giulio Gallo: A♦K♦ All in
Tarik Ugural: A♠9♠

Gallo was ahead with his big slick, but not for long as the 7♥9♣Q♦ flop gave Ugural a pair of nines. Some more outs arrived on the 10♥ turn for Gallo in the form of a gutshot, but the 5♣ river bricked out, sending him to the rail.

Valentin Ghioca

Genrik Alekian is another player who ran deep yesterday, but just missed out on making Day 2.

A few more chips just found their way into his stack after he tangled with Valentin Ghioca. Alekian made it 1,800 to go on the button and Ghioca called from the big blind.

The flop came 7♥5♠K♦ and Ghioca check-called a bet of 1,800 from Alekian to the 9♣ turn, where he checked it over again. Alekian then fired 4,200, which was enough to force a fold from Ghioca.
