Ante: 4,000
Arsenii Karmatckii raised to 6,500 in middle position, and Aleksei Gortikov called in the hijack. When the action folded to Ravi Sheth in the big blind, he moved all in for 172,500. Karmatckii called, but Gortikov folded.
Ravi Sheth: A♥K♥
Arsenii Karmatckii: A♠A♦
It was the worst possible news for Sheth, who, despite picking up a straight draw on the 5♣J♦10♣ flop, was unable to improve when the 7♣ and 9♥ completed the board.
Picking up the action with roughly 70,000 already in the pot and a full 6♥5♠J♦4♠5♣ board face up on the felt, Alexey Borovkov was battling from the cutoff against Jamil Wakil in the small blind.
Wakil checked over to Borovkov, who moved all in for 47,000. After taking some extra time to think it over and using a time extension, Wakil opted to call, but the news was not good. Borovkov tabled A♥A♦, which Wakil was unable to beat with his 7♠7♦, ensuring Borovkov found a full double up with his aces.
The action was caught as Jamie Dwan manoeuvred his stack of roughly 110,000 into the middle preflop from the hijack, and was at risk against Arsenii Karmatckii in the big blind.
Jamie Dwan: A♥K♥
Arsenii Karmatckii: Q♠Q♣
The 8♦5♦6♦ flop followed by the 3♦ turn brought some chopped pot opportunities, but the Q♥ river only served to improve Karmatckii to top set, sending Dwan to the rail.
Level: 5
Blinds: 1,500/3,000
Ante: 3,000
Oliver Weis raised to 5,500 in the cutoff, and Daniel Koloszar defended his big blind.
Koloszar checked over to Weis on a K♦Q♦K♥ flop, who bet 4,000. Koloszar responded with a check-raise to 15,500, and Weis called. However, when Koloszar fired again on the 3♠ turn, this time for 38,000, Weis chose to fold.
At a four-handed table, Rustam Khamatgareev opened to 5,000 first to act. Dmitry Gromov then put his big stack to use, three-betting to 15,000 on the button. The blinds quickly folded, but Khamatgareev took a stand, four-betting to 45,000. That ended the contest, as Gromov released his cards to the dealer.
Eelis Parssinen raised to 5,500 in the cutoff, which both Hassan Nashar and Mehdi Chaoui called from the button and in the small blind.
Parssinen continued for 7,000 on a 10♠5♥4♠ flop, which Nashar called, but Chaoui check-folded. Parssinen switched tactics on the 2♠ turn, this time check-calling when Nashar bet 10,000. Parssinen checked again on the 10♣ river, and Nashar fired another bet, this time for 25,000. Parssinen considered it, but ultimately chose to fold.
