Pankov Pays to See Trips

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Vitalii Pankov raised to 4,000 from the cutoff, with the player in the small blind calling and Natan Chauskin coming along from the big blind.

Action checked to Pankov on the QQJ flop, and he continued for 4,000. Only the small blind called.

Both players checked the 9 turn before the small blind led out for 15,000 on the 6 river. Pankov called, but was forced to muck after being shown Q8 for trip queens of his opponent.

Nashar Overbets Three Times the Pot

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Three players made it to the river on a board of 93KQ3, with around 20,000 already in the pot. Hassan Nashar fired out 65,000 from the small blind, more than three times the size of the pot. Oleg Silin h looked him up from the big blind, while Alexander Lakhov quickly got out of the way from under the gun.

Silin tabled K4 for two pair, kings and threes, but it was no match for Nashar's J3 for trip threes.

There was a brief pause in proceedings after Vyacheslavovich had prematurely tabled his hand, prompting the floor to be called over. However, after everyone at the table explained what had happened, the situation was quickly cleared up.

As he dragged in the pot, Nashar couldn't resist having a little fun with the dealer.

"Don't worry, I am the supervisor here."

Tabiyev's Spin-Up Begins

Level 8 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Boris Tabiyev got his stack of roughly 15,000 into the middle from the button, with the player in the big blind looking to send him to the cashier's desk for a reentry.

Boris Tabiyev: QJ All in
Big Blind: 87

Tabiyev was ahead with queen-high, although the 953 flop gave his opponent plenty of outs with a straight flush draw.

Tabiyev paired his queen on the Q turn, and after the 5 paired the board on the river, he doubled up to more than a third of the starting stack.

"All in or fold, don't call."

State took the advice and shoved for 84,000, which Nashar quickly called.

Adrian State: JJ All in
Hassan Nashar: A6

State had an overpair, but Nashar had plenty of outs with two cards to come.

However, the Q turn and 3 river failed to improve Nashar, and State doubled up.
