Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Pavel Pavlov
Pavel Pavlov

Pavel Pavlov just went out on a bit of bad luck. He jammed for about 10 big blinds with {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades} and was called by Marian Ivanov with {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}.

The {3-Spades}{q-Spades}{k-Clubs}{j-Spades}{4-Spades} board gave both players a flush but gave Ivanov a nut flush to eliminate Pavlov. After the hand, the action moved down to a nine-handed single table with four players advancing.

It was ladies for the one lady left in the field Christina Orfanidou. Vadood Namvar jammed for 36,000 with {a-Spades}{q-Spades}. Hristo Bogdanov over-jammed for 100,500 with {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts} before Orfindou, who had both players covered, also jammed with {q-Clubs}{q-Hearts}.

The ladies held throughout as the board ran out {10-Spades}{4-Spades}{j-Spades}{2-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} and Orfanidou eliminated two opponents for the chip lead.

Marian Ivanov

Georgios Farmakis bet 27,000 into a pot of a bit more after the {k-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} came on the flop. Savvas Baltiras jammed for about 125,000. Marian Ivanov called off for his stack of 62,000 before Farmakis also called off for about 72,000.

Savvas Baltiras: {a-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}
Marian Ivanov: {q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}
Georgios Farmikas: {k-Hearts}{k-Spades}

Farmikas was ahead with top set until the {9-Clubs} came on the turn to give Ivanov a straight. Farmikas was unable to improve to a full house and Baltiras wasn't able to hit a flush with the {3-Clubs} completing the board on the river to award Ivanov a monster pot.

Georgios Efthymiadis
Georgios Efthymiadis

Georgios Efthymiadis called a bet of 7,000 from an early position opener from the button before Christina Orfanidou jammed for about 135,000 called.

Efthymiadis shrugged and then called off his 41,000 chip stack.

Christina Orfanidou: {a-Diamonds}{q-Spades}
Georgios Efthymiadis: {4-Spades}{4-Diamonds}

Orfanidou seems to have a problem winning flips as of late and lost this one as she was unable to hit any of the {k-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{8-Spades}{2-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} board.

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Pavel Pavlov

Gkotsa Tseisvili bet 15,500 into a pot of 17,000 after the {4-Spades}{9-Clubs}{7-Spades} came on the flop. Georgios Farmakis called and Pavel Pavlov, who had exactly the bet size in his stack, also called.

Farmakis then jammed all-in for about 27,000 after the {2-Hearts} came on the turn and Tseisvili folded. Farmakis turned over {j-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} and Pavlov began celebrating with {10-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} for an open-ended straight draw.

"One time," shouted Pavlov. "Let's run it once!"

The celebrations got louder after the {6-Spades} spiked the river to give Pavlov a straight and a triple up.

"Now I'm back!" shouted Pavlov.
