Suvorov Shoves on Etim Before Break

Level 4 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

There was around 40,000 in the pot as Terence Etim bet 15,000 from the small blind on a flop of {10-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{k-Diamonds} and was called by Anatoly Suvorov in the hijack.

The turn came the {10-Clubs} and Etim slowed down and checked. Suvorov bet 22,000 and Etim called after a brief tank as the river came the {7-Diamonds}.

Etim checked once more and Suvorov slid his stack of 37,000 forward. Etim quickly mucked as the players headed off on break.

Mehreb Dodges the River to Triple

Level 4 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

With 25,000 in the middle in a three-handed pot and the board showing {7-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}, action checked to Eduard Barsegian in early position who tossed out a bet of 15,000.

"I have less," Andre Mehreb said as he called all in. Alisa Sibgatova also called to create a side pot as the river came the {k-Clubs}. Both Barsegian and Sibgatova checked.

Sibgatova showed {k-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} for a missed flush draw and pair of kings on the river, beating Barsegian's {a-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}. Mehreb, though, turned over {6-Spades}{5-Clubs} for a straight as he tripled up.

"All in," Salloum immediately said, moving forward his entire stack of 73,000. Tsouloftas gave it some thought before mucking. Salloum showed the {3-Diamonds} as he collected the pot to a round of "oohs" from around the table.

Merheb Shoves as Clock Called on Tasyurek

Level 4 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

There was already around 70,000 in the pot as Andress Merheb and Halil Tasyurek went heads-up to the river on a board of {4-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{2-Spades}{4-Spades}{3-Diamonds}. Merheb moved all in for 65,000 and covered his mouth with his hoodie as Tasyurek went into the tank.

The clock was eventually called and, with about 10 seconds remaining, Tasyurek peeked back at his cards one last time before mucking.

"One time," Tasyurek said, pleading with Merheb to show his hand.

"Aces or kings. Aces or kings," a tablemate repeated, but Merheb mucked without showing.

"Did you have tens? Jacks?" Merheb asked Tasyurek as the two opponents continued discussing the hand.

Khneisser Claims to Have a Deuce

Level 4 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

With 20,000 in the pot on a flop of {a-Spades}{6-Hearts}{7-Clubs}, Joseph Khneisser bet 7,500 from the big blind and was called by Martynas Mockevicius on the button.

The turn came the {q-Clubs}. "Twenty," Khneisser announced as he put in four blue 5,000 chips. Mockevicius took one last look at his hand before sliding them back to the dealer.

"Do you want to see one," Khneisser asked Mockevicius as he put his cards face down in front of him. Mockevicius shook his head and Khneisser mucked without showing.

"You know what it is. Deuce," Khneisser said as both players shared a laugh.

Gadzhiev Cracks Mouwad's Aces

Level 4 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

With 13,000 in the pot on a flop of {9-Hearts}{7-Spades}{10-Spades}, Joseph Mouwad bet 5,000 before Roman Gadzhiev raised to 80,000. Mouwad quickly called for his remaining chips.

Joseph Mouwad: {a-Hearts}{a-Spades}
Roman Gadzhiev: {8-Clubs}{6-Clubs}

Mouwad had two aces, but Gadzhiev had flopped the nut straight and left Mouwad looking for running cards to stay alive. The board ran out {3-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} and Mouwad got up from his seat.

The dealer, though, began counting down Mouwad's 55,000 stack preparing to give him the pot. "I win. I have a straight," Gadzhiev pointed out before Mouwad made his exit.

Livshitz this time fired out 42,000 into the 27,000-chip pot as Ghazarian tanked for about a minute before calling for most of his remaining stack. Livshitz turned over {5-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} for the flopped wheel as he scooped another pot to move past 300,000.
