Abdolvand Back on the Rise

Level 5 : 700/1,400, 1,400 ante

In a battle of the blinds, the {q-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} turn saw Javad Abdolvand with a call against Ferran De Antonio Canela and that created a pot of around 40,000 to the {q-Clubs} river. The Spaniard checked the stack of his opponent and Abdolvand slid forward his chips. De Antonio Canela checked and Abdolvand instantly checked back to win the pot with {8-Hearts}{8-Spades}.

Level 5 : 700/1,400, 1,400 ante
Balazs Somodi
Balazs Somodi

On a heads-up turn of {9-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}, Alexey Losev got it in for what appeared to be 60,000 in the cutoff. He was quickly called by the table big stack Balazs Somodi to set up the following showdown.

Alexey Losev: {8-Hearts}{5-Hearts}
Balazs Somodi: {a-Spades}{9-Spades}

The {2-Clubs} river failed to improve Losev with his combo draw and Somodi raked in the pot, further boosting his already impressive stack half way through Day 1a.

Brehme Loses a Chunk

Level 5 : 700/1,400, 1,400 ante

On the river of a board {j-Clubs}{5-Spades}{2-Spades}{10-Hearts}{k-Clubs}, David Brehme checked his option and Andrei Stoenescu made it 36,000 to go. Brehme called after a few seconds and was shown the {k-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} for a busted straight draw and rivered top pair. That was enough to win the pot for Stoenescu, who now has more than two times the starting stack.
