Robbing the Timebank

Action folded around to Conor "1_conor_b_1" Beresford on the button, who opened to 17,600. "Vladxxxro" defended in the big blind, and the two were heads up.

The flop read {k-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}. Beresford downbet to 11,800 when checked to, and "vladxxxro" check-raised to 28,000. Beresford called.

The second flush draw arrived on the {7-Diamonds} turn, and "vladxxxro" checked. Beresford bet 34,056, and "vladxxxro" called.

When "vladxxxro" checked the {4-Hearts} river, Beresford put out a bet of 128,484. "Vladxxxro" went deep into the tank, using up the majority of their timebank, before eventually giving up.

Jacking Up The Pot

Following a min-raise to 14,000 by "Phily1983" in early position, Fabiano "Kovalski1" Kovalski opted to make it 42,000 to go. Action folded back to "Phily1983," who went all in for 131,804 total. Kovalski called.

"Phily1983": {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}
Fabiano "Kovalski1" Kovalski: {a-Hearts}{4-Hearts}

The {k-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} board ran out clean for "Phily1983," securing them the double.

Bullets Shot Down by Seoane

After a player in early position min-raised to 12,000, "Lecram006" elected to call, and Miguel "¿¿toneecho??" Seoane defended the big blind.

Seoane and the original raiser checked the {j-Clubs}{9-Spades}{6-Clubs} flop, and "Lecram006" bet about one-third pot—14,850. Seoane check-raised to 49,260, and only "Lecram006" called.

The {4-Clubs} turn brought in the flush, and Seoane went all in, his opponent's stack nearly matching the size of the pot. "Lecram006" quickly called for their tournament life.

"Lecram006": {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}
Miguel "¿¿toneecho??" Seoane: {q-Clubs}{10-Clubs}

Having flopped a combo draw, Seoane hit his flush on the turn, and the only hope remaining for "Lecram006" was to spike one of the few clubs left in the deck.

But the {a-Diamonds} river gave them a no-good set, earning Seoane the pot and another bounty.

Decimated with Tens

After the under-the-gun player limped, Christian "WATnlos" Rudolph jammed 91,145.

"1m1year" was next to act with almost exactly double the amount of the shove and elected to go all in, too. Anatoly "NL_Profit" Filatov gave it some consideration before clicking "call." No further action ensued, and the players went to the flop three ways.

Christian "WATnlos" Rudolph: {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}
"1m1year": {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}
Anatoly "NL_Profit" Filatov: {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}

Filatov's pair wasn't looking good next to the {a-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} flop, and though he added four straight outs on the {8-Hearts} turn, the {4-Spades} offered no relief. The two players holding Big Slick chopped it up.

Five-High Gets There

When "Kraskata85" min-raised to 10,000 in the hijack, only Miguel "¿¿toneecho??" Seoane defended in the big blind.

Seoane checked the {q-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{7-Spades} flop, and "Kraskata85" continued small for 7,350. Seoane check-raised to 22,500, and "Kraskata85" called.

The turn brought the {k-Spades}, and Seoane led for 23,925. "Kraskata85" thought for a moment before calling.

The {8-Diamonds} river completed the flush draw, and Seoane tanked before checking. "Kraskata85" also gave the decision some thought before finally checking back. Seoane showed {5-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} for a rivered flush.

Stokkan Sticks in the Rest

Tauan "kylix42" Naves min-raised to 10,000 in middle position and was called by Preben "prebz" Stokkan in the cutoff, as well as the big blind.

{a-Spades}{10-Spades}{10-Diamonds} appeared on the flop, and the big blind and Naves checked. Stokkan put out 10,750, and only Naves called.

When the turn brought the {6-Hearts}, Naves check-called 31,630.

The {3-Diamonds} hit the river, and Naves checked a third time, his stack just shy of the 122,260 pot. Stokkan quickly jammed 613,690, putting Naves to the test. Naves considered his options for a bit before mucking.

Bujtas Hits the Million-Chip Mark

We have a new chip leader following a hand between Aleksejs "APonakov" Ponakovs and Laszlo "omaha4rollz" Bujtas.

Bujtas min-raised to 10,000 in early position. Ponakovs and the player in the big blind called.

The three saw a flop of {5-Hearts}{5-Spades}{3-Spades}. Action checked to Ponakovs, who bet 12,375. Only Bujtas called.

The turn added the {10-Diamonds} to the mix, and Bujtas check-called 37,350.

After the {2-Diamonds} came on the river, action went check-check, and Bujtas revealed {a-Clubs}{10-Spades} for two pair, the pot, and a spot at the top of the rankings.
