Al Barwani Doubles Through Shafigullin

Level 19 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Marat Shafigullin simply moved all-in as the table big stack and Ahmed Al Barwani in the small blind was in the tank. He then called it off for 597,000 and all other tables finished their action for the showdown to proceed.

Ahmed Al Barwani: {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}
Marat Shafigullin: {j-Spades}{j-Hearts}

The {k-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{8-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{k-Spades} board gave Al Barwani not one but even two kings and he doubled during hand for hand play.

Skhulukhiya Doubles Semenescu and Helou

Level 19 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Giorgiy Skhulukhiya raised and then called the shove by Dan Semenescu for 184,000 total.

Dan Semenescu: {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}
Giorgiy Skhulukhiya: {q-Spades}{j-Spades}

The {a-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{q-Clubs}{5-Spades} board kept Semenescu in contention.

Shortly after, Mark Helou was all-in from the big blind on a {k-Spades}{3-Clubs}{2-Hearts} and faced the very same big stack caller in Skhulukhiya.

Mark Helou: {k-Clubs}{9-Hearts}
Giorgiy Skhulukhiya: {k-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}

The {5-Spades} turn was a blank and the {4-Diamonds} river ensured that the kicker played for Helou to double.

Saab Eliminated by Bedir

Level 19 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

On the {5-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{9-Spades} turn, Imad Saab got his last few chips in and Selahaddin Bedir had him well covered.

Saab was at risk with {6-Clubs}{5-Clubs} for a pair and open-ended straight draw while Bedir only had {10-Spades}{5-Diamonds} for the same pair and superior kicker. The {3-Clubs} river made sure that the kicker played and the field was reduced to the final 101 players.

Mammoud Doubles Through Bedir

Level 19 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Another two players busted and a third one was all-in. The latter was Kassem Hammoud, who four-bet jammed for 346,000. Selahaddin Bedir then went all-in over the top as the initial raiser and Salih Kocagol as three-bettor folded.

Kassem Hammoud: {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}
Selahaddin Bedir: {a-Spades}{k-Spades}

The {k-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{8-Clubs} board was no threat as Hammoud more than doubled.

Suvorov Eliminated by Darie

Vlad Darie

Anatoly Suvorov raised to 50,000 and then called all-in when Vlad Darie piled in his massive towering stack out of the blinds.

Anatoly Suvorov: {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}
Vlad Darie: {3-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}

The {k-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{5-Clubs} flop gave Suvorov the superior pair but the {7-Hearts} turn provided a sweat. Sure enough, the {4-Diamonds} river improved Darie and Suvorov busted prior to the money.

One Double and a Bustout

Level 19 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Christoph Bruell
Christoph Bruell

Balazs Somodi jammed for 278,000 in the hijack and Dan Semenescu went all-in over the top from the cutoff.

Somodi tabled the {a-Hearts}{3-Hearts} and Semenescu was way ahead with the {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}. The {q-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{a-Clubs} board improved Somodi on the river.

Christoph Bruell was not as fortunate. Down to just 77,000, he got it in with the {a-Hearts}{7-Spades} and [Removed:452] looked that up with the {k-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}. The {j-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{3-Spades}{9-Spades} runout delivered the straight on the river.

Terwagne Doubles Through Shaerzadeh

Level 19 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Ali Shaerzadeh
Ali Shaerzadeh

In a preflop contest, Ali Shaerzadeh looked up Harold Terwagne and the latter was at risk for 616,000 for a big portion of the stack of his opponent.

Harold Terwagne: {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts}
Ali Shaerzadeh: {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}

The kicker played on the {8-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{5-Clubs}{7-Clubs} runout and Terwagne doubled. "I should have folded," Shaerzadeh sighed and sunk back into his seat to drop to a severe short stack.
