Williamson Busts Bogdanov with Set over Set

Richard Hayes

Level 21 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Susan Williamson moved all in from the under gun for 580,000 and Kristiyan Bogdanov moved his remaining 300,000 stack into the middle from the next seat.

In the next seat James Broderick used two timebanks pondering his decision, before eventually folding, with Bogdanov at risk against Williamson.

Kristiyan Bogdanov: 8♣8♥
Susan Williamson: Q♣Q♠

Bogdanov's eights were in trouble versus Williamson's queens and the 8♠Q♣J♠ flop did not change his position, both players flopping a set.

Bogdanov was now drawing extremely thin and the 7♥A♦ turn and river did not provide him with a miraculous escape.

Level 20 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Dimitru Lupu moved all in for 425,000 and was called by Simon Davidson and Scott Boyle.

On the A♦5♥2♣ Davidson bet 125,000 and was called by Boyle.

Dimitru Lupu: A♣8♣
John Davidson: A♠Q♣

Lupu was behind as his pair of aces was dominated by Davidson's better kicker, but Lupu had turned a flush draw to improve his equity.

The K♣ rolled off on the river to give Lupu the flush and a timely triple up. Davidson bemoaned his bad luck but he still has a healthy stack to work with.

Alexander Cunningham: 6♣4♦
Osman Mustanoglu: 8♠8♥

Cunningham was drawing thin against Mustanoglu's pair of eights, and although he picked up a pair of fours on the turn on 10♥7♦2♦4♣, the Q♠ did not provide him with any help and he exited the tournament.
