Golan Eliminates Yantsevich

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

We found Valery Yantsevich all in for about 500,000 with {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds} against the {10-Spades}{10-Clubs} of Navot Golan. It looked like Yantsevich had opened and called off when Golan shipped it from the big blind.

The board ran out {3-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{7-Hearts}, no improvement to either player, so Golan collected the pot in the big flip.

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
Fatima Moreira de Melo
Fatima Moreira de Melo

Fatima Moreira de Melo opened early to 45,000 and called a three-bet to 150,000 from Anatolii Zyrin (cutoff). On the {6-Clubs}{a-Clubs}{2-Hearts} flop, Moreira de Melo check-called 120,000. The PokerStars Team Pro checked the {10-Hearts} turn and got set in for 680,000, just a bit over the size of the pot. She tanked a couple of minutes and called.

Moreira de Melo: {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts}
Zyrin: {k-Hearts}{9-Hearts}

Zyrin had tried pushing a draw but found himself drawing dead. Moreira de Melo collected a huge double.

Some Confusion Ends With Lee Moving All In

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

From early position, Gabriele Lepore opened for 40,000. It folded to big blind Hon Cheong Lee who, because of being hidden partly in a big scarf, wasn't heard correctly when he started talking about a hand earlier. The dealer heard he said all in and tossed the all in triangle in front of him.

Lee instantly said he hadn't said all in, he had just talked about a hand earlier maybe mentioning those words. Lepore wasn't too sure what Lee was saying either and just showed his stack behind.

After about a minute or so, Lee now did move in. Lapore shook his head and folded.
