Level 9 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Aleksejs Ponakovs

Aleksejs Ponakovs raised to 8,000 from the hijack, and Kirill Shcherbakov defended from the big blind.

Shcherbakov checked the K♠K♣J♠ flop, and Ponakovs made a minimum bet of 4,000. Shcherbakov responded with a check-raise to 10,000, which Ponakovs called.

The 4♥ turn did little to slow Shcherbakov down, as he fired for 14,000. Once again, Ponakovs called.

The Q♠ completed the runout, and Shcherbakov checked. Ponakovs moved all in for his remaining 36,500, and Shcherbakov called.

Ponakovs tabled A♠3♠ for a flush to double-up, beating the trip kings of Shcherbakov, who held Kx2x.

Level 9 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Ryan Mandara raised to 8,000 from the hijack and was three-bet to 32,000 by Miroslav Rizov from the small blind. Mandara burned through a time bank before electing to four-bet to 68,000.

Rizov didn't need long to decide on a five-bet shove. With around 140,000 remaining in his stack, Mandara quickly folded, surrendering the pot to Rizov.

At another table, it was heads-up on the turn with a board of 8♣K♠J♣3♦. Artur Martirosian fired for around 40,000 from the big blind, and Timo Kamphues called from the button.

The 7♦ completed the board, and both players checked. Martirosian tabled Q♦Q♥, which proved good enough to take down the pot as Kamphues mucked his hand.

Ravil Khamatgareev raised to 10,000 from the small blind, and Vadzim Godzdanker defended from the big blind.

Khamatgareev continued for 6,500 on the J♣7♣4♦ flop, and Godzdanker moved all in, putting Khamatgareev at risk. Khamatgareev called for his remaining 39,500, and the cards were turned over.

Ravil Khamatgareev: Q♣Q♦ All in
Vadzim Godzdanker: 6♠5♠

Khamatgareev's queens were ahead of Godzdanker's open-ended straight draw.

The 2♥ turn and K♥ river changed nothing, and Khamatgareev doubled to just shy of the starting stack.

Level 8 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

With about 70,000 in the pot on a completed board of K♣Q♣4♠5♣10♥, Fabian Schmidt was first to act from under the gun. Schmidt moved all in, putting 'Kenar' at risk for his remaining 67,500. 'Kenar' shrugged before making the call.

Schmidt tabled A♠J♣ for Broadway, but it was second best to the 8♣7♣ of 'Kenar', which had made a flush.

Dumitru Finds Aces at the Right Time

Level 8 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Daniel Thaller raised to 6,000 from the hijack before Cristinel Dumitru jammed for 22,000 from the cutoff. When the action got back to him, Thaller reluctantly called.

Cristinel Dumitru: A♣A♦ All in
Daniel Thaller: Q♣10♦

Dumitru was in great shape with pocket aces, and Thaller needed plenty of help to score the knockout.

However, the 2♥3♠4♦8♥10♣ runout offered him none, leaving Thaller drawing dead on the turn as Dumitru doubled to over half the starting stack.

Nicolas Chouity's stack of 88,000 found its way into the middle from the button, with Patrick Brooks looking to score the knockout from the small blind.

Nicolas Chouity: J♠J♦ All in
Patrick Brooks: A♥K♣

It was a coin flip, but Brooks took the lead after pairing his king on the K♥7♠9♠ flop.

Chouity began to rise from his chair, but the poker gods weren't finished with him just yet. The K♠ turn gave him additional outs in the form of a flush draw, although it also improved Brooks to trips.

Chouity's fortunes changed for the better when the 4♠ completed the runout, giving him a flush and earning him a double-up through Brooks.

Level 7 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Damir Gabdullin raised to 5,000 from the hijack, with Miroslav Rizov calling on the button and Irina Zheleznyak also coming along from the big blind.

The 2♦6♠9♠ flop checked to Rizov, who elected to bet 5,500. Zheleznyak called, while Gabdullin got out of the way.

Both players checked the A♠ turn and the 2♥ river, and Zheleznyak tabled 9♥8♦ for a pair of nines to win the pot.
