Francis Poirier three-bet to 20,400 after a min-raise and it was not necessarily clear if that had been a missclick or on purpose. Soon after, he opened with a standard size of 1,300. Stoyan Obreshkov three-bet to 4,600 only for Gavin Andreanoff to then make it 10,000 to go in the next seat.
Poirier folded and Obreshkov came to the same conclusion.
Szymon Bujok opened to 1,600 from middle position and received calls from Maksim Paniak in the hijack, Rene Majed in the small blind and Shuang Luo in the big blind.
The flop came 10♠9♠2♦ and action checked around to Bujok who fired a 2,500 continuation bet, receiving a call from all three opponents.
On the 10♣ turn action checked around to Paniak who bet 5,500. Majed folded while both Luo and Bujok made the call.
All three remaining players checked the 5♣ river. Bujok tabled A♣A♠ and both Paniak and Luo quickly mucked.
Ari Katz made it 1,300 to go and was called by Anatoly Zlotnikov, Robert Cowen also came along from the big blind. On the A♥9♠7♦ flop, Katz continued for 1,600 when checked to and Zlotnikov called while Cowen let go.
Katz fired another 6,200 on the A♠ turn for Zlotnikov to call and the 5♠ fell on the river. This time, Katz checked and Zlotnikov double-checked his cards before tossing in a larger bet of 22,800. Katz instantly folded and the rich got richer.
Oleksandr Turych raised to 1,300 from early position and found one caller in Hyunseok Oh in the cutoff to bring out the 7♥Q♥A♣ flop.
Turych continued with a bet of 1,000 only to see Oh come out with a raise to 3,000. Turych paused briefly while considering his action and eventually landed on putting in a third bet in the amount of 15,000. Oh wasted little time in making the call to see the A♠ hit the turn.
Both players checked through to see the board complete with the 3♦.
Turych checked over to Oh who seemingly sized for value with a bet of 12,000. With action back on Turych, he paused for a short period before deciding to jam for 74,400 total. Oh wasn't quick in releasing his hand, but did eventually opt on a fold before watching as Turych turned over the 7♠ before sending his cards into the muck.
Dov Markowich raised to 1,200 in early position and the player in the cutoff called.
The flop came down Q♦K♣Q♣ and action went check-check to the 2♥ turn.
Markowich bet 1,500 and his opponent just called to the 3♥ river.
Markowich bet again, this time 3,500, and the cutoff raised big to 18,500. Markowich waited for roughly 30 seconds before moving all in and his opponent snap-called with Qx2x for queens full of deuces.
Unfortunately for him, it was no good as Markowich rolled over the K♦K♠ for a flopped full house!
By the time the board showed A♣10♣7♣5♣6♠, some 19,500 were in the middle. Anatoly Filatov bet 12,200 in the small blind and left himself exactly 1,000 behind. Barry Hutter was in the cutoff and went very deep into the tank for several minutes before he eventually settled for a fold.
Tjarco Reitsma opened in early position to 1,400 before the action folded to Aram Zobian on the button who put in a three-bet to 4,000. The small blind folded and then the action was on Andrei Boghean in the big blind who went into the tank.
After about a minute in thought he put in the cold four-bet to the tune of 12,000. Both of his opponents considered their options but fairly quickly found a fold. Boghean dragged the pot with out seeing a flop and was involved in the very next hand.
Level: 5
Blinds: 300/600
Ante: 600
Alexandru Papazian opened to 1,100 from middle position before Alex Livingston three-bet to 3,500 from the button. Renan Menezes then four-bet shoved for 13,300 from the small blind, forcing a fold from Papazian.
"Let's gamble" Livingston commented before flicking in the call with a covering stack.
Renan Menezes: 10♠10♦
Alex Livingston: K♠10♣
Menezes was in great shape to double up and remained ahead on the 5♣7♥7♣ flop. That all changed when the K♦ turn left Menezes drawing to just one out. The 2♦ river was a brick and Menezes made his exit from the tournament area while Livingston took down a healthy pot.
