Vaskaboinikau Out

Kai Cocklin

Level 12 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

The start-of-day chip leader Mikalai Vaskaboinikau has been eliminated.

"Dubai Police" recalled the hand and said Vaskaboinikau called his raise from the blinds to the 10x8x5♣ flop. Vaskaboinikau led for 500,000, which was called to the K♣ turn. Vaskaboinikau bet 1,600,000, and once again "Dubai Police" called.

On the 4♣ river, Vaskaboinikau checked and then snap-called the shove of "Dubai Police", who had the nuts with A♣9x7♣7x. Vaskaboinikau held 7x6xXxXx for a straight, but that was no good.

Level 12 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

A big pot was brewing between Artur Martirosian and Maxi Lehmanski on a board of 2♥10♥5♠K♥Q♦, which resulted in the former being all-in and at risk.

Martirosian showed Q♥5♥2♦Xx for a flush, but Lehmanski had the nuts with A♥3♥J♦Xx to scoop the pot and earn the knockout.

Level 12 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Cong Pham has a mountain of chips in front of him, and just added a few more at the expense of Biao Ding.

Pham opened the button and Ding called from the big blind to see a flop of A♦J♠7♣. Ding check-called a bet of 225,000 from Pham to see the 2♥ turn, where he checked again.

Pham then bet 575,000, and that was enough to make Ding fold. It's not all bad news for Ding, though, as he still has a stack of around 7,100,000.

Level 12 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Phil Ivey opened the button to 210,000 and Martin Dam three-bet the pot to 660,000 from the big blind. Ivey called.

They saw a flop of 5♣7♣8♣, which Dam checked and Ivey bet 250,000. Dam continued in the form of a call to the 4♣ turn, where again Dam checked. Ivey then put out a bet of 400,000, and that was enough to earn the pot as Dam folded.
