Loire, Ivanov Check It Down

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Heads-up on a flop of {k-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{9-Spades}, Aleksandr Ivanov bet 20,000 before Julien Loire, in the big blind, raised to 100,000.

Ivanov called as the {j-Hearts} fell on the turn. Loire tanked for about a minute, covering his mouth with his scarf, before he checked and Ivanov quickly checked back.

The {4-Clubs} fell on the river and both players quickly checked again. Loire turned over {k-Clubs}{q-Hearts} for a pair of queens and Ivanov showed {q-Spades}{q-Clubs} before mucking as the two players exchanged a fist pump across the table.

[Removed:422] bet 25,000 on a flop of {9-Hearts}{7-Spades}{2-Diamonds} and was called by Recep Aydemir in the big blind.

The turn came the {3-Spades} and Soyirgaz bet another 85,000. Aydemir again called as the {10-Hearts} fell on the river.

Aydemir this time led out for 250,000 and Soyirgaz let out a deep sigh before he tossed his cards into the muck.

Aydemir turned over {6-Clubs}{4-Clubs} for six-high. "Respect," tablemate Wissam Khalifeh told him following the hand.

Ilani turned over {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs} for a full house on the river and Nakhjavani kept his cards in front of him while the pot was being pushed over to his opponent before tossing them into the muck while shaking his head.

Yulian Bogdanov: {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}
Roman Gadzhiev: {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}

Bogdanov was dominated until the {q-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} flop gave him top pair. Gadzhiev turned away from the table in disgust until the {10-Hearts} fell on the turn.

"Yes," he cried as he gave out a big fist pump after making the nut straight. The river came the {j-Clubs} and Bogdanov was sent to the rail.

Ido Aboudi and Toni Kaukua were also eliminated since returning from break.
