Rush Hour for Krasuntcev

Level 13 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Alexander Krasuntcev
Alexander Krasuntcev

Alexandru Papazian opened to 100,000 from under the gun and Anton Gililov called in the small blind. Alexander Krasuntcev three-bet to 275,000 in the big blind and both opponents called. On the {10-Spades}{7-Clubs}{4-Hearts} flop the trio checked and Gililov checked the {A-Hearts} turn as well. Krasuntcev bet 425,000 and picked up just one call by Gililov to see the {4-Clubs} river.

After playing with his chips for half a minute, Gililov shoved for 1,200,000 and Krasuntcev snap-called with {A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}. Gililov was caught with {8-Spades}{7-Spades} and joined the rail.

The next hand, Krasuntcev limped in and Papazian raised to 150,000, which Krasuntcev called. The flop of {Q-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{4-Clubs} was checked and Krasuntcev check-called a bet of 350,000 on the {5-Hearts} turn. After the {10-Diamonds} river, Krasuntcev checked and Papazian shoved for 1.8 million. Again Krasuntcev snap-called and Papazian showed {6-Spades}{3-Spades} for a bluff gone wrong. Krasuntcev had {Q-Clubs}{5-Clubs} for two pair to win the pot, and eliminate his second opponent in two hands.

Tremzin Takes Down Ivanov

Level 13 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Gleb Tremzin opened the action with a raise to 125,000 from under the gun and Stanislav Ivanov moved all in from two seats over. The player in the big blind asked for a count and the shove was for 835,000. After some consideration, the big blind folded and Tremzin quickly called.

Stanislav Manilov: {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}
Gleb Tremzin: {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}

The {K-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{7-Hearts} flop provided the king and yet it was bad news for Manilov, as Tremzin was way ahead with a set. It was all over after the {4-Spades} turn, making the {7-Diamonds} river a formality.

"Steve, What Have You Won?"

Level 13 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Steve O'Dwyer, Anatoly Filatov and Martin Kabrhel
Steve O'Dwyer, Anatoly Filatov and Martin Kabrhel

There was a discussion between partypoker Sponsored Pro Anatoly Filatov and another Russian player at the table. We heard tablemate Steve O'Dwyer's name mentioned a couple of times, and it culminated in Filatov asking O'Dwyer the following question.

"Steve, what have you won?" asked Filatov, "EPT Monte Carlo, couple of High Rollers."

O'Dwyer smiled. "Seven, actually," he replied.

"Don't worry," Filatov said to his friend, "He wins a lot but he's a fish! Very tight. He likes to travel a lot!"

"And now you come to Russia!" exclaimed a smiling Martin Kabrhel.

Updated Counts from Level 13

Level 13 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

There is just one table remaining in the theatre due to a break soon, and fewer than 300 hopefuls remain.

Over in the main room, Gerald Karlic three-bet a cutoff open from 125,000 to 325,000 and Yury Masliankou moved all in from the small blind. That got rid of everyone including Karlic, after giving it some thought.

Coates Has Perfect Timing

Level 13 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

David Coates slowly walked out of the theatre to check out the main tournament area and the worst fears arose quickly. However, the Brit quickly assured that the exact opposite was the case.

According to Coates, there was a raise and a three-bet before Aleksandra Babich four-bet all in from the button. Coates called all in with pocket aces in the big blind and Babich had {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs} only. A king on the flop was all that came and Coates scored a big double.

Arthur Goboya Secures Double Up On the River

Level 13 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

A player opened from the hijack to 100,000 and the button three-bet to 260,000. Arthur Goboya was in the small blind and he four-bet all in for 720,000. The initial raiser folded and the button called.

Goboya: {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}
Button: {q-Diamonds}{q-Spades}

It was a race, and the flop came {4-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{4-Clubs}. The turn was the {2-Clubs} giving no help to Goboya, who was utilising the "Stay in your seat" theory when it came to winning flips, as opposed to the "Standing up and putting on your coat" theory.

Whatever theory he was using, it worked as the {a-Clubs} came on the river handing him the double up.

"Why the river?" asked his opponent, "Why not on the flop!"

Various Post Dinner Counts

Level 13 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

James Lowrey was sent to the rail before the dinner over in the threatre while Dmitry Chop just four-bet shoved to add 350,000 to his stack.

Sergey Chantcev fired two barrels on the board {K-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{9-Spades}{7-Hearts}. His first bet of 150,000 was check-called by his table neighbor before the second bet of 310,000 did the trick to force a fold.

Chantcev is closing in on Dmitriy Kopyl as the biggest stack in the theatre and he is followed by Yevgeny Kafelnikov and Aleksei Istomin.
