Glushkov Gets a Lucky River

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

With three active players on a board of {6-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{10-Clubs}, action was on Ivan Glushkov on the button. The Russian bet 2,650 and got a call from Joseph El Khoury. Lucien Cohen check-raised to 6,200, Glushkov called and El Khoury folded.

On the {9-Spades} river, Cohen shoved all in and Glushkov called his remaining stack of 12,175 off.

Lucien Cohen: {6-Spades}{6-Hearts}
Ivan Glushkov: {8-Clubs}{8-Hearts}

Glushkov got there with a straight on the river and doubled up.

Nassar Out Right Away

Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante
Sara Souhail Nassar
Sara Souhail Nassar

Sara Souhail Nassar has become one of the first casualties of the day. The Lebanese got it in with {7-}{6-} against Adrian Ionescu's {4-}{4-} on a {3-}{5-}{4-}{3-} board and was left drawing dead.

"Ah, I still enjoyed the experience," Nassar said as she headed out of the tournament area.

Spillover

Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante

The growing number of entries has forced a number of players into the cash game area, where some spillover tables are being seated. We spotted a few notable players in that area. One is Benny Glaser, who is looking ahead to the WSOP, where he hopes to repeat an epic 2016 performance.

Petrushevskii Gets There

Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante

With around 7,500 in the pot, the board read {3-Spades}{10-Spades}{9-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{6-Spades} and Denys Chufarin had checked. Sergei Petrushevskii bet 5,500 and Chufarin instantly called.

Petrushevskii tabled {A-Spades}{Q-Spades} for the nuts and a visibly disgusted Chufarin walked away from the table to cool his emotions.

Petrushevskii is coming off of a recent fourth-place finish at EPT Prague in December, where he banked €284,550.

Newey Pays Off the Min-Raise

Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante

On a flop of {4-Clubs}{j-Clubs}{8-Spades}, a player in the small blind bet 300 and got a call from big blind Paul Newey. On the {j-Spades} turn, Newey took the lead when checked to, betting 550. The small blind came back with a min-raise to 1,100, and Newey wasted no time in calling. The river was a {7-Hearts}, and the first player checked. Newey checked it back right away but couldn't beat {j-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} for trips.
