Straight Flush for Psychic Milbutas

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante
Vytautas Milbutas
Vytautas Milbutas

A player in middle position raised to 4,000 and Vytautas Milbutas called in the cutoff. The player in the small blind also called before a fourth player moved all in for his last 24,000 from the big blind. The initial raiser folded, Milbutas called from a stack of around 80,000 and the small blind folded.

"Do you have sevens?" asked the all-in player.

"No," replied Milbutas confidently, "I have a straight flush draw."

Milbutas tabled {a-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} with a big grin on his face, and his opponent showed {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}.

The flop came {4-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}{9-Spades}. The turn was the {2-Diamonds}, which gave Milbutas a flush and had his opponent drawing dead. However, the best was yet to come.

Astonishingly, the river was the {3-Diamonds} and Milbutas's preflop prediction came true as he made his straight flush and eliminated his opponent.

Let's Go Bananas

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

"He is a banana player," Sebastian Langrock joked about King's regular chiKKita banAAna. The latter had just doubled for his last 9,600 with {10-Spades}{7-Clubs} and Airidas Stažys called with the {K-Hearts}{J-Spades} on the button.

The board ran out {9-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{Q-Spades}{10-Hearts} and the King's regular and owner of the massage salon right next to the casino doubled his short stack.

Big Double for Benoit

Level 8 : 400/800, 100 ante

With more than 10,000 already in the middle and the board showing {A-Spades}{8-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{8-Clubs}, Benjamin Benoit checked out of the big blind and Rokas Barzdzius bet 5,000. Benoit check-raised to 13,000 with some 15,000 behind and Barzdzius moved all in, Benoit quickly called.

Benjamin Benoit: {K-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}
Rokas Barzdzius: {Q-Clubs}{8-Spades}

The {4-Diamonds} on the river ensured that the kicker played and Benoit doubled for 28,650.

Level 8 : 400/800, 100 ante
Sebastian Langrock
Sebastian Langrock

Sebastian Langrock raised to 1,800 from middle position. The player in the cutoff called before Jorg Kunz three-bet to 7,500 from the button. Langrock called and the cutoff folded.

The flop came {k-Spades}{2-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} and Langrock check-called a bet of 10,500 from Kunz. Langrock check-called 15,000 on the {8-Hearts} turn and the river was the {8-Diamonds}.

With the hint of a smile playing on Langrock's lips, he checked and Kunz checked behind. Langrock showed {9-Spades}{9-Clubs} and Kunz took down the pot with {k-Hearts}{q-Clubs}.

A short while later, having been left with around ten big blinds following this hand, Langrock was eliminated.

Another Double Knockout

Level 8 : 400/800, 100 ante

There were two short stacks all in and at risk, one of which was Aidar Kulumbetov, who held {A-Spades}{2-Spades}. The second short stack had {A-Clubs}{J-Hearts} while Jonathan Dartevelle looked them up with {2-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}. The board ran out ten-high with a pair, and the mighty ducks held up to see Dartevelle knock out two opponents.

Radomski Busts to Bahman

Level 8 : 400/800, 100 ante
Karol Radomski
Karol Radomski

On the heads-up flop of {A-Clubs}{K-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}, Karol Radomski bet 5,000 out of the hijack and Bahman raised it up to 10,000. Radomski sighed and eventually moved all in for his remaining 11,800, which Bahman quickly called.

"Did you flop it?" Radomski said while tabling his {A-Spades}{J-Diamonds} and indeed Bahman had him dominated with {J-Hearts}{10-Hearts} for the straight. Neither the {K-Hearts} turn nor the {7-Clubs} river improved Radomski and he will very likely be back soon.

Voth and Kuznik Bust

Level 8 : 400/800, 100 ante
Yaron Kuznik
Yaron Kuznik

Within quick succession, Ronny Voth and Yaron Kuznik were sent to the rail from the very same table.

According to Sebastian Langrock, Voth's raise was called by two players including Jonathan Morlet in the big blind. The latter check-raised a flop of {A-}{8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} from 2,600 to 6,000 and called the shove of Voth with pocket sevens. Voth had {A-}{8-} for top two while the button folded {3-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}. No ace or eight, but a diamond came and Voth was gone.

Langrock himself then knocked out Yaron Kuznik with {A-Clubs}{10-Clubs}. Kuznik had put his hopes on {6-Spades}{5-Spades} in the small blind and the board of {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{6-Clubs} left Kuznik drawing dead on the turn already.
