Magic Man 558
Magic Man 558

Magic Man 558 raised to 55,000 from under the gun and Adam Markiewicz called out of the big blind. On the {6-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{3-Spades} flop, Markiewicz check-called a bet of 30,000 and did so again for 50,000 on the {7-Hearts} turn.

After the {A-Clubs} river, Markiewicz checked again and Magic Man now bet 300,000. When asked what he had, Magic Man replied to his opponent he held quads. Markiewicz didn't believe him and called only to get shown {3-Clubs}{3-Hearts} ... for quads.

Andreas Thomas Gondrom is the Bubble Boy

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Sandro Pitzanti
Sandro Pitzanti

Tippy333 raised and Andreas Thomas Gondrom got his short stack into the middle of the table from one seat over. Sandro Pitzanti called and so did Tippy333.

The Dane then bet three barrels on the board of {10-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{A-Spades}{9-Spades} and Pitzanti called down for a far bigger side pot. In the showdown, Gondrom flashed {4-Clubs}{4-Spades} and Tippy333 had that beat with {9-Hearts}{5-Hearts} to ensure the burst of the bubble. However, it was Pitzanti who won the entire pot with {A-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs} for a pair of aces.

Deniz Sinanmis and Raketák Bust in Three-Way All In

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Deniz Sinanmis
Deniz Sinanmis

Xavier Vidal raised to 18,000 and Rakeťák three-bet all in for 49,000 on the button. Deniz Sinanmis reraised all in from the small blind for 118,000 and Vidal asked for both counts before making the call.

Rakeťák: {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}
Sinanmis: {A-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}
Vidal: {A-Clubs}{J-Spades}

The {Q-Spades}{10-Hearts}{9-Hearts} flop gave Sinanmis the lead with a pair of queens, but the {3-Clubs} turn and {K-Clubs} river completed the board to give Vidal a straight and knock out two opponents.

Roman Motovsky on a Roll

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Roman Moťovský
Roman Moťovský

Roman Motovsky raised to 20,000 and Sebastian Bensch three-bet to 65,000, receving a call from his Czech opponent. On the {Q-Spades}{J-Spades}{4-Spades} flop, Bensch shoved with aces including the {A-Spades} and Motovsky called with {K-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}. The {Q-Hearts} turn improved Motovsky to trips queens, and the {6-Diamonds} river was a blank.

Shortly after, Motovsky defended his big blind against the raise of Rachid Bouhou and check-raised the flop of {8-Spades}{3-Spades}{2-Spades}. Bouhou then three-bet all in for a ton of chips and Motovsky quickly called.

Motovsky: {Q-Spades}{7-Spades}
Bouhou: {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}

The {3-Clubs} turn and {J-Hearts} river completed the board and Motovsky's stack skyrocketed within two hands.
