Kirichenko Survives With jacks

Tim Baker

Level 18 : Blinds 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

With 395,000 already in the middle on the 6♠Q♣9♣ flop, Aleksandr Kirichenko bet 25,000 from middle position, committing half of his remaining stack. Dmitrii Kravchenko moved all in, and Kirichenko went into the tank.

After waiting long enough to secure a pay jump, Kirichenko eventually made the call for his last few chips.

Aleksandr Kirichenko: J♥J♦ All in
Dmitrii Kravchenko: A♠K♠

Kirichenko's jacks were ahead of Kravchenko's overcards, but Kravchenko picked up additional outs when the Q♠ turn gave him a flush draw.

However, the 10♦ river was a brick, and Kirichenko doubled through Kravchenko.

Anton Danilov raised in the hijack, and Pedro Ingles called in the cutoff. Natalia Nikitina then three-bet to 265,000 from the small blind. Danilov called the raise, but Ingles responded with a four-bet shove for 1,165,000. Nikitina put in a five-bet shove of her own, having both players covered, and Danilov called off his 940,000.

Anton Danilov: A♠A♦ All in
Pedro Ingles: J♠J♦ All in
Natalia Nikitina: K♠K♣

Despite the preflop standings, the biggest of the three stacks, Nikitina, looked set to eliminate two at once when the dealer spread a 2♦K♦10♣ flop, improving her to top set.

However, the drama wasn't over, as Danilov reclaimed his lead on the A♥ turn. The 9♠ river offered no further twists, and as Danilov pulled in a triple up, the remainder of Ingles's stack was pushed to Nikitina.

Hero-Call Gone Wrong For Gunes

Viktor Siegle raised to 50,000 from the cutoff, with Caner Gunes calling on the button, Aleksandr Chernikov calling from the small blind, and Hanif Shafeghat defending from the big blind.

After two checks on the 9♥3♦7♣ flop, Siegle fired a continuation-bet of 75,000. Gunes and Shafeghat called, while Chernikov got out of the way.

Shafeghat checked again on the J♦ turn, and Siegle fired a second barrel, this time for 200,000. Gunes called, while Shafeghat folded.

Heads-up to the 4♣ river, where Siegle immediately bet enough to put Gunes all in. Gunes had 295,000 remaining and went deep into the tank.

Gunes considered the decision for around five minutes, using all but one of his time banks. In the end, he took a gulp of water before eventually slamming in the call.

Siegle tabled 9♦9♣ for a flopped set to win the pot and eliminate Gunes, whose 5♦4♦ had improved to a pair of fours on the river.

Gunes shook Siegle's hand before heading to the payout desk, while Siegle moved to just shy of two million chips.

Level 18 : Blinds 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Having more than doubled her stack since the start of the day, Natalia Nikitina raised in early position before calling an all-in of 65,000 from Aziz Efe on the button.

Aziz Efe: K♠10♠ All in
Natalia Nikitina: A♠J♦

Efe flopped best on 9♣6♠K♣, and held onto his lead across the 4♣ turn and J♠ river.

Two Big Stacks Collide

Dmitrii Nazarov
Dmitrii Nazarov

A huge pot just went down on Table 3 between the start-of-day chip leader, Dmitrii Nazarov, and the Day 1c chip leader, Ehsan Amiri.

As recalled by another player at the table, Nazarov raised under the gun to 40,000, and because the next player to act folded out of turn, Amiri put in the same amount thinking he was the one opening the action. The wager was ruled a call, and the rest of the table got out of the way.

Nazarov checked the 3♦K♦4♣ flop, and Amiri fired a bet of 60,000, only to face a check-raise to 225,000. Amiri elected to continue via a call.

The dealer rolled off the 6♥ turn, and PokerNews was told that Nazarov bet again, choosing 275,000. Amiri once more continued with a call.

The 10♦ river completed the front-door flush, and Nazarov cut out a bet of 600,000, sending Amiri deep into the tank.

After using the majority of his time banks and spending several minutes weighing up his decision, Amiri eventually slammed in the call for roughly half of his remaining stack.

Nazarov tabled A♦9♦ for the nut flush to drag the massive pot and climb to around three million chips, while Amiri could only shake his head before moving on to the next hand.

Artsiom Dzekhtsiarou moved all in for 190,000 from the small blind, and after a brief tank, Chengxu Hu called in the big blind.

Artsiom Dzekhtsiarou: J♠J♥ All in
Chengxu Hu: Q♦10♠

The 4♥A♦2♣ flop was safe for Dzekhtsiarou, but the Q♣ turn left him drawing to two outs.

The 7♦ river was unforthcoming, seeing Dzekhtsiarou eliminated.

Pedro Ingles raised the button to around 40,000 and Mihai Niste jammed from the big blind for roughly 300,000. Ingles snap-called.

Mihai Niste: 3♦3♣ All in
Pedro Ingles: A♦Q♠

Niste needed to dodge the overcards, and he did exactly that on the 9♥2♥4♥3♥8♦ runout, improving to a set along the way.

Niste doubled up, while Ingles was left with around a million chips.

Seeing a middle position raise to 40,000 and two callers ahead of him, Michal Anzulewicz three-bet to 150,000 from the big blind. The original raiser folded, but Dmitrii Kravchenko called in the cutoff before the player on the button folded as well.

Anzulewicz continued with a bet of 120,000 on a 4♠9♣2♥ flop, and bet another 275,000 on the 3♣ turn, which Kravchenko called both times.

The 10♣ river completed the board, and Anzulewicz slowed down, checking over to Kravchenko. Kravchenko responded by moving all in for 980,000, having Anzulewicz's stack slightly covered. Anzulewicz didn't take much to surrender, as he returned his cards to the dealer.
