Level 8 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Wilhelm Isaak
Wilhelm Isaak

Maxim Zakomoldin in early position and Wilhelm Isaak on the button were heads-up on a flop of J♥5♥3♣, with around 15,000 in the middle.

Zakomoldin responded to a bet of 8,000 from Isaak with a check-jam to 52,500. After asking for a count, during which Zakomoldin said "I'll show if you fold", and "I think I'm good", to which Isaak responded "You're definitely not!", the call was made.

Maxim Zakomoldin: J♦9♦ All in
Wilhelm Isaak: K♣K♠

Zakomoldin's top pair was crushed versus Isaak's overpair, and there was no escape on the 8♠8♥ runout.

"Nice hand, thank you gentlemen", said the amiable Zakomoldin as the dealer shipped his chips to Isaak.

Nikola Barjaktarevic opened to 2,500 under the gun, and was met with a three-bet to 6,000 from Tobias Bollmann in the big blind.

Barjaktarevic called to see a K♣Q♥3♥ flop, where he called a continuation bet of 6,000 from Bollmann.

The 3♣ turn was knuckled through to the 10♣ river, where Bollmann led out with a bet of 7,000.

Barjaktarevic eyed him suspiciously but made the quick call, and saw his A♦Q♦ for second pair queens was good versus his opponent's A♠9♠ for air.

Level 7 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

A pot of 15,200 had developed on a flop of A♥4♦4♣, in a three-way hand between Laila Hawaszadeh in the small blind, Liwei Wang in early position, and SiGMA ambassador Lukas Robinson on the button.

Action was checked to Wang, who slid out a bet of 8,500, which failed to shake off either opponent.

The K♥ turn was quickly checked through to the 10♦ river, where Hawaszadeh led out with a bet of 17,000. Wang quickly called and Robinson folded after a bit of deliberation.

Hawaszadeh tabled A♣9♣ for two pair aces and fours, but Wang had the best of it by the river with A♦10♥.

Level 6 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

A big pot of 42,000 had brewed by the river on a completed board of K♥6♠2♣K♠5♣, and Andres Estrada had a bet of 20,000 in front of him.

Squillaci jammed for 38,000 total and received a relatively quick call from Estrada.

Squillaci tabled A♦K♦ for trip kings and Estrada grimaced and mucked 9♥9♦.

Level 6 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

With around 18,000 in the middle on a flop of 8♦4♣2♦, Per Isback fired out a bet of 15,000, only to be faced with a jam to 35,000 from Shaun Decesare.

Isback went into the tank, looking pained, and eventually folded. Decesare showed K♦10♦ for the flush draw with two overcards, and Isback stated he had pocket fives.

"I thought I was probably good", mused Isback. "Flipping at best" responded Decesare.
