Updated Counts with Metaal in Trouble

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

"I have a nice hand for you, I lost with aces," Govert Metaal said when walking past the media desk. Apparently, a player that had just sat down on his table managed to get his stack in after a preflop raising war and showed {J-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}. Metaal had pocket aces and there were plenty of clubs on the board to leave Metaal with a mere dust.

"It's a re-entry," the Dutchman said and will either run up the current stack or get back in soon with a fresh stack. Andrey Andreev has already done so and chipped up slightly on the second attempt.

High Roller: Two Double Ups At Final Table, Zeiter into Chip Lead

Level 3 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Diego Zeiter
Diego Zeiter

David Laka raised from the cutoff to 100,000 with {6-Hearts}{4-Hearts} and Andrey Razov three-bet all in for 305,000 from the button with {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}. The blinds folded and Laka made the call.

The board ran out {q-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{a-Spades}{7-Clubs} and Razov doubled up.

A short while later, Diego Zeiter raised to 110,000 from early position with {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds} and David Laka three-bet to 260,000 with {a-Diamonds}{10-Spades} from the next position. Leon Tsoukernik cold-called with {8-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} in the big blind before Zeiter four-bet all in for 1,270,000. Laka quickly folded but Tsoukernik called.

The board came {k-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{k-Hearts} and despite Tsoukernik holding several straight outs on the turn, the river was a brick and Zeiter took over the chip lead.

Firsau Chips Up

Korgu Bests Jasuchina

Level 3 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

A bigger pot was brewing on the table of Josef Gulas with both ladies involved. Ultimately, the board showed {A-Hearts}{10-Spades}{6-Spades}{5-Hearts}{J-Spades} and Elena Jasuchina bet 200,000, which Zulfia Korgu called. Jasuchina showed {A-Clubs}{K-Spades} for a pair of aces and Korgu had that beat with {A-Spades}{5-Diamonds} for two pair.

Atshemyan Takes One Down Without Showdown

Level 3 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

After a raise to 12,500, Arman Atshemyan called in the small blind and Aleksandar Tomovic came along from the big blind. The flop fell {A-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} and the action checked to the initial raiser, who bet 29,000. Both Atshemyan and Tomovic called before the {5-Diamonds} appeared on the turn.

Atshemyan now led for 100,000 with just 270,000 behind and Tomovic folded after some consideration, while the third player in the hand called. Atshemyan also bet the {7-Spades} river for 100,000 and his opponent folded.

Ince Back in Action

Level 3 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Kelly Ince qualified on partypoker and had a rough beat yesterday when her pocket aces were cracked by pocket kings. However, since Ince qualified multiple times she can take another shot at the guaranteed prize pool of $5,000,000 here at the stunning Casino and Resort Sochi.

Ince shares a table with Oleg Egorov while Gerald Karlic, Nicolas Le Floch and Pierre Neuville are one table over.

It Is Hippo Time Again

Level 3 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Martin Kabrhel
Martin Kabrhel

"Oh no, that's the worst thing to happen," Jan-Peter Jachtmann said and stood up from his chair while two Brits that railed his table also cried out loudly. The board was all but rushed away while Oksana Abakhova left her seat in disguise with the always-talkative Martin Kabrhel raking in the big pot.

Apparently, Abakhova had five-bet for half of her stack before Kabrhel six-bet all in with {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}. He was quickly called by Abakhova with pocket aces and Kabrhel got there thanks to the {Q-Hearts} on the river. "Hippo says it is time," Kabrhel added.

Kabrhel now sits on an above-average stack of 1.9 million while Jachtmann is back to starting stack on the same table.

Lykov Gone in Two Hands

Level 4 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

In a three-bet pot, Oleg Titov and Maxim Lykov headed to a heads-up flop of {J-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{4-} and Titov check-raised all in with {9-Clubs}{8-Clubs} for a big draw. Lykov apparently only had {A-}{K-Clubs} and a queen on the turn was followed by a club on the river to leave Lykov with 100,000.

Those chips were gone soon after with {A-}{K-} as Sergey Terentiev improved with {K-}{10-} and Lykov will have to re-enter.
