2026 Onyx High Roller Series
The remaining 10 players have taken a short 10-minute break.
Liviu Ignat raised under the gun to 140,000 with Espen Sandvik calling from the small blind, and Tomasz Krzesinski defending from the big blind.
Three checks followed the 4♥4♦2♥ flop, with the 3♣ coming on the turn. Sandvik checked again, and Krzesinski bet 125,000. Ignat called and Sandvik folded.
A 10♠ hit the river and Krzesinski tossed out a bet of 250,000. Ignat decided to fold and Krzesinski was given the pot.
The floor staff have decided that because the tournament is slowing up and players are tanking, that hand-for-hand will start begin the next two players who are eliminated walking away with nothing.
After seeing the flop of 7♣10♦4♥, Oswin Ziegelbecker and Artur Martirosian just got all of their chips into the middle, with Ziegelbecker being the one at risk.
Oswin Ziegelbecker: K♦Q♦10♠9♥
Artur Martirosian: J♣10♣4♦3♣
Ziegelbecker was in trouble with top pair against the two pair of Martirosian, and looked likely to be hitting the rail.
A J♦ fell on the turn, which may have improved Martirosian to a higher two pair, but it also gave Ziegelbecker a lot more outs with a combo-draw.
The 8♠ to complete the board gave Ziegelbecker the nut straight, and he doubled up on the soft bubble.
Liviu Ignat raised to 140,000 on the button and Dennis Weiss defended from the big blind.
Both players checked the 10♦9♥Q♣ flop to see the K♠ arrive on the turn. Weiss checked again before Ignat bet 225,000. Weiss announced a raise of the pot, resulting in a quick fold from Ignat.
Liviu Ignat just dragged in a big pot and sent Phillip Wunscher to the rail.
Wunscher shoved the river on the board of 3♦5♥8♠9♣8♥, and Ignat snap-called.
Wunscher turned over A♠9♠7♠5♣, and lost the pot to Ignat's K♦J♥8♦8♣ for quad eights.
With about 950,000 in the pot on a completed board of Q♣4♥K♣J♦9♣, Artur Martirosian checked from the big blind, and Sondre Stormyr jammed, covering Martirosian.
Martirosian had 850,000 left in his stack, and the bet made him go deep into the tank. After burning through all of his time banks, Martirosian peeked back at his cards, glanced over at Stormyr, and then made the call.
Stormyr immediately said "Good call", and turned over A♣9♠4♦3♦ for just the nut flush blocker.
Martirosian tabled J♠5♣4♣2♠ for a baby flush and the pot of over two and a half million went to Martirosian.
Level: 16
Blinds: 20,000/40,000

Youness Barakat limped the hijack and Espen Sandvik called from the button. Phillip Wunscher completed from the small blind before Tomasz Krzesinski spoiled the party by raising it to 150,000. Only Barakat called.
Krzesinski announced a bet of 275,000 after the dealer spread out the A♠Q♠5♥ flop. Barakat quickly folded, surrendering the pot to Krzesinski.
