Farah Bluffs Into Tantillo

Level 17 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Elie Farah
Elie Farah

Elie Farah opened from the hijack and Fausto Tantillo called in the big blind.

They went to a flop of JA9, where Tantillo checked and Farah bet 21,000. Tantillo then made it 47,000, Farah three-bet to 110,000, and Tantillo called.

On the 9 turn, Tantillo check-called a bet of 70,000 from Farah to the 4 river, where again Tantillo checked. Farah then quickly bet 75,000, and Tantillo took just twenty seconds before he called.

Farah then showed a pair of eights with 88. but that was no good as Tantillo flipped AQ for a pair of aces.

With 22 players remaining and the tournament 7-handed, it means that a redraw will take place after one more elimination.

Rafikov Falls to Berberovic

Level 17 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Ravil Rafikov
Ravil Rafikov

Bojan Berberovic is flying high at the moment as his stack just soared into seven-figure territory.

After some preflop action, Ravil Rafikov had his stack of around 300,000 in the middle and was up against the bigger stack of Berberovic.

Ravil Rafikov: KQ All in
Bojan Berberovic: AJ

Rafikov was behind, and the A109 flop put him further into the hole. A 64 runout changed nothing, which left Rafikov on the sidelines and Berberovic with a monstrous stack.

Zavoloka Lands a Huge Double Against Alekian

Level 17 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Mikhail Zavoloka
Mikhail Zavoloka

Huge pot alert.

The action was picked up with Genrik Alekian having 165,000 laid out in front of him from the small blind and Mikhail Zavoloka had put in another raise from the cutoff. Alekian then responded by making it 525,000, Zavoloka shoved almost 700,000, and Alekian called it off.

Mikhail Zavoloka: AA All in
Genrik Alekian: AK

Zavoloka was in a dream spot, and the flop of 9J7 had him in wonderland. A K turn did bring a little sweat, but the 10 river was clean, meaning Zavoloka got the full double.
