Yan Doubles; Muehloecker Takes from Akhundov

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

Hand 1

Felipe Ramos called a raise to 26,000 by Jimmy Guerrero and the flop fell {A-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{2-Spades}. Guerrero continued for 40,000 from under the gun and Ramos called before the {J-Hearts} on the turn saw Guerrero fire another 75,000. Again Ramos called and the {6-Spades} river was checked through, Ramos claimed the pot with {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}.

Hand 2

[Removed:17] shoved for 62,000 from under the gun with {Q-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} and Thomas Muehloecker called with the {A-Spades}{J-Spades} out of the big blind. The board ran out {Q-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{7-Spades}{10-Diamonds} and Yan doubled, then took some more chips.

Hand 3

In the last hand before the Break, Muehloecker raised and Murad Akhundov defended the big blind. Akhundov check-called 48,000 on the {Q-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} flop and the {J-Hearts} turn was checked through. Akhundov's bet of 130,000 on the {K-Diamonds} river resulted in the all in of Muehloecker and that forced a fold from Akhundov.

Boika Bows Out Against Sanioglu

Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Aliaksei Boika
Aliaksei Boika

Aliaksei Boika moved all in for around 165,000 and the action folded to Ekrem Sanioglu in the big blind. He glanced at the dealer and asked if Boika was all in, which was confirmed, and Sanioglu then called just two seconds later.

Ekrem Sanioglu: {9-Clubs}{9-Hearts}
Aliaksei Boika: {A-Clubs}{2-Clubs}

The flop of {K-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{3-Hearts} took some outs away from Boika and Sanioglu asked for the ace of hearts once the {5-Diamonds} fell on the turn. He also liked the {K-Spades} river, as Boika failed to improve and joined the rail in 20th place. The EPT13 Malta Main Event champion added a score of €54,980 to his poker resume.
