Acevedo Doubles Blind

David Salituro

Level 17 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Michael Acevedo moved all in for 59,000 under the gun and Anatoly Zlotnikov called in the cutoff.

Michael Acevedo: J♣10♦ All in
Anatoly Zlotnikov: K♠Q♣

"I pushed blind," Acevedo said heading to the flop, which came A♠A♣J♦ to give him two pair and Zlotnikov a straight draw.

The turn was the 2♣.

"Deuce on the river," Acevedo pleaded, but the 9♥ worked just as well as Acevedo doubled up.

Level 17 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Stoyan Obreshkov opened to 32,000 from under the gun before Danilo Velasevic three-bet to 95,000 from the button. With the action back on Obreshkov, he opted to four-bet to 210,000, and Velasevic called.

The K♥7♦7♣ flop checked through to the J♦ turn which saw Obreshkov bet 65,000, and Velasevic called.

Obreshkov checked the A♠ river and Velasevic angrily checked back as Obreshkov tabled A♦5♦ which was good enough for the win as the solver hand claimed yet another victim.

Level 17 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Kazuyuki Tanemura was down to 36,000 and moved all in from early position. Jordan Glazer called in middle position and the rest of the table got out of the way.

Kazuyuki Tanemura: A♠4♦ All in
Jordan Glazer: A♦Q♠

Tanemura began aggressively pointing at the board trying to will a four to come, but instead the flop came 8♠3♥2♠ as he also picked up a straight draw. Tanemura again pointed to the turn, which was the 7♦. The 9♦ river didn't answer his pleas and Tanemura was sent to the rail.

"I almost believed you," Glazer said, as he and Tanemura shared a laugh before Tanemura left the table.

Level 17 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Phil Hellmuth was in the small blind and three-bet to 100,000. Jinhoon Lee then moved all in for 170,000 under the gun and Hellmuth snap-called.

Jinhoon Lee: Q♠Q♥ All in
Phil Hellmuth: A♠K♦

It was a classic flip, and Hellmuth took the lead on the K♣J♣5♥ flop with top pair. The 10♦ turn gave Lee a straight draw, but he missed the 2♥ river and Hellmuth scored the knockout.

Level 16 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Marius Gierse raised to 25,000 in the hijack, Zhao Zhang moved all in for 123,000 in the small blind, and Gierse called.

Zhao Zhang: A♠Q♦ All in
Marius Gierse: K♠Q♠

Zhang had Gierse dominated and was poised for a double up as the flop came 2♣9♣4♦. Zhang hit top pair on the A♣ turn and Gierse was drawing dead by the J♦ river as Zhang doubled up.

Despite that hit, Gierse is still sitting on a stack of around 2,000,000.

Seonguk Huh: J♣J♥

Artiga-Pacheco was in rough shape against Huh's hand and it stayed that way as the board ran out A♣K♦10♠J♠K♠ as Huh padded his stack while sending Artiga-Pacheco to the rail.

Level 16 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Tomas Jozonis raised to 25,000 in middle position and Georgios Sotiropoulos called in the small blind. Boris Angelov then three-bet to 68,000 in the big blind and only Sotiropoulos called.

The flop came Q♦10♦2♣ and Angelov bet 114,000. Sotiropoulos called and the 10♣ fell on the turn. Angelov then moved all in and Sotiropoulos snap-called for 484,000.

Angelov showed A♦K♦, but Sotiropoulos had 2♦2♠ for a full house as the river came the 3♦.

"Flush," Angelov joked as he handed over the massive pot.
