Sipila Hits the Turn to Double

Level 12 : 1,200/2,400, 0 ante

There was 33,200 in the pot, and Samuli Sipila bet that amount from under the gun on the {4-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{q-Clubs} flop. The next player shoved all in, and Sipila called off for 70,200 after two others folded.

Sipila: {k-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{9-Clubs}
Opponent: {7-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}

Sipila needed help but had some outs, and he hit one on the {k-Hearts} turn for better two pair. The river was an {a-Hearts}, keeping the kings up best.

Kruk Dominated and Disappointed

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 0 ante

On a flop of {2-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{7-Clubs}, Christopher Kruk and Dimitrios Amoiridis got all in with the latter at risk for his short stack.

Amoiridis: {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{6-Hearts}
Kruk: {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}{10-Clubs}

Kruk expressed disgust at the situation and bricked the {7-Spades}{10-Spades} runout.

"I thought I was at least doing OK," he said. "And probably crushing."

Loeliger Doubles Through Saliba

Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 0 ante

Vivian Saliba opened for 4,300 in middle position and got one caller before Linus Loeliger shoved in the big blind. Saliba called for 17,400, and the third player left it head sup.

Saliba: {q-Spades}{j-Clubs}{10-Spades}{6-Diamonds}
Loeliger: {k-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{4-Spades}

Loeliger was in a nice spot with a higher rundown and the {3-Spades}{3-Clubs}{q-Clubs} flop, then the {2-Diamonds} and {9-Hearts}, kept him there.

Bouloutsos Doubles Through Tollerene

Level 10 : 800/1,600, 0 ante

Ben Tollerene put in a preflop raise to 7,200 in the cutoff and felt forced to call the shove of Konstantinos Bouloutsos, who had 22,700 on the button.

Tollerene: {q-Spades}{j-Clubs}{7-Spades}{6-Clubs}
Bouloutsos: {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{k-Spades}{10-Spades}

Tollerene's cards were mostly live, and he flopped a pair as {2-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{6-Hearts} hit. The {9-Clubs} was no help though, and the {a-Spades} improved the Greek player.
