New Chip Leader Found In Rybak

Level 4 : 150/300, 50 ante

Ahmad Ahmadi limped in from the under-the-gun position and so did Merad Meladze from early position. Igor Rybak raised to 1,100 from mid-position and action folded to Bennet Schmidt in the big blind who three-bet to 2,300. Ahmadi got out of the way quickly but both Meladze and Rybak called.

The flop came {4-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{K-Hearts} and Schmidt bet 2,200. Meladze and Rybak both called again.

The turn brought them the {8-Clubs}, now Schmidt check-folded to the 6,000 bet by Meladze. Rybak did call however.

The river completed the board with the {5-Clubs}, Meladze shoved for 12,050 and Rybak snap-called. Meladze tabled {7-Hearts}{6-Hearts} proudly for the straight he had rivered, even when Rybak showed {K-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}. When the table and the dealer pointed out that Rybak had rivered a flush, he left the table while cursing out loud and walked away to another table to tell his friend what had happened. The rest of the table still laughed a bit afterward.

Ziermann Doubles Through Pham

Level 4 : 150/300, 50 ante

Rainer Ziermann raised to 500 from the cutoff and was called by Adriatik Agalliu in the small blind. Phong Thanh Pham three-bet to 1,200 from the big blind. Ziermann called and Agalliu folded.

The flop came {8-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}, Pham bet 2,000 but Ziermann raised to 5,000. Pham took a few second but then called.

The turn brought them the {6-Clubs}, now Pham checked. Ziermann bet 9,100, Pham shoved and had Ziermann covered. Ziermann snap-called. Ziermann tabled {2-Spades}{2-Hearts} for a flopped set of deuces which was better than the {K-Diamonds}{K-Hearts} that Pham had. Ziermann doubled up.

Meladze Doubles Through Admadi

Level 3 : 100/200, 25 ante

The board read {10-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{4-Spades}{7-Hearts}{3-Clubs} and Merab Meladze had shoved for the 9,625 he still had behind. Ahmad Ahmadi had another look at his cards and then called. Meladze showed {10-Hearts}{3-Spades} for the rivered two pair which was enough to beat the {K-Clubs}{Q-Hearts} of Ahmadi and earned him the double-up.

Barbarez Books a Win

Level 3 : 100/200, 25 ante
Sergej Barbarez
Sergej Barbarez

The board read {6-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{3-Spades}{5-Hearts} and Thanat Chinphanitkit had bet 3,800 from the small blind in a pot which seemed to be substantial already. Sergej Barbarez who was seated in middle position called.

The river completed the board with the {J-Clubs} and they both checked. Chinphanitkit showed {8-Hearts}{8-Clubs} for a pair of eights but that was not sufficient to win the pot as Barbarez had {Q-Hearts}{9-Hearts} for top pair.

A Small Pot for Sokolovskiy

Level 3 : 100/200, 25 ante

Dirk Benz raised to 600 from the hijack and [Removed:19] three-bet to 1,600 from the cutoff. The action folded back to Benz who called.

They both checked through the {7-Clubs}{2-Spades}{K-Clubs} on the flop to the {7-Spades} on the turn. Benz now bet 2,500 and Sokolovskiy called.

Then the {q-Clubs} came on the river on which they both checked. Benz showed {a-Spades}{5-Spades} for the missed flush draw so he had ace-high. Sokolovskiy had {K-Hearts}{J-Clubs} for top pair which was enough to win the pot.
