Level 18 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Martin Kabrhel raised from under the gun to 100,000, and Mustapha Kanit defended the big blind.

The flop came 10x5x4x and Kanit check-called a bet of 100,000 from Kabrhel.

After the 4x on the turn, Kanit decided to check-raise Kabrhel's bet of 400,000, to 1,100,000. Kabrhel called.

The river was the 8x and Kanit moved all in for 1,600,000, which Kabrhel called. Kanit tabled Kx10x for top pair, but was crushed by the AxAx of Kabhrel, sending the pot his way, and eliminating Kanit.

Martin Kabrhel opened to 200,000 from early position, which was called by John Barr in the hijack, and the big blind Yinan Zhou.

After the 3♣7♠K♦ flop, it was checked to Kabrhel who bet out 100,000. He was called by both Barr and Zhou.

All three players checked the Q♣ on the turn, to see the 3♦ on the river. Zhou then fired out a bet of 1,000,000, which got quick folds from both Kabrhel and Zhou.

Cooler For Pochat Bursts the Bubble

Tyler Boyer

Level 17 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

The small blind Manuel Pochat was all in for roughly 2,500,000, and the big blind Vladas Tamasauskas putting him at risk, on the stone bubble.

Manuel Pochat: A♥K♥ All in
Vladas Tamasauskas: K♦K♣

https://twitter.com/PokerNews/status/1999688200999043294?s=20

It was a massive cooler blind on blind, and Pochat would need to find an ace to avoid being the bubble boy. But he couldn't find any help on the 7♦5♥2♠5♦3♥ runout, giving the pot Tamasauskas, eliminating, Pochat, and bursting the bubble.

At a nearby table Kristen Foxen was all in and at risk as well, but her pocket aces held for the double up.

The queens were never troubled, and made a full house on the Q♠J♣6♣6♥3♣ runout for Hajiyev to double.

On a neighboring table, Vladas Tamasauskas opened to 175,000 from under the gun before Rayan Chamas jammed for 870,000 from middle position. Arthur Thiriart called from the cutoff. Tamasauskas folded.

Rayan Chamas: 4♥4♠ All in
Arthur Thiriart: A♥K♦

Chamas managed to hold as Big Slick failed to connect on the J♣3♥3♦9♦2♥ runout.
