Tony Parker (in an earlier event)
Tony Parker (in an earlier event)

Tony Parker was seen standing up as he was all-in from the big blind and called and covered by Alex Anton in middle position.

The board read 107679 by the time all the cards had been dealt.

Parker held the 72 for trip sevens but Anton had the 66 in front of him for a full house to send the former basketball point guard packing.

Over Half a Million for Sturzeneker

Level 4 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

With 14,000 in the middle, the flop read Q25.

Iago Sturzeneker checked in the small blind but Joonhee Yea bet 4,000 from under the gun which was called by Sturzeneker.

The turn was the 8, and Sturzeneker check-called Yea's 12,000 continuation-bet.

The river completed the board with the K. Sturzeneker took over the initiative and fired a bet of 46,000 out. Yea called but mucked when he saw Sturzeneker's A8 for the nut flush.

Sturzeneker Gets Lucky to Double

Level 4 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Iago Sturzeneker
Iago Sturzeneker

Alexander Zubov opened from early position with a raise to 4,000, which was called by Iago Sturzeneker in the cutoff. It folded to Ihor Popyk in the small blind, who then three-bet to 24,000. Zubov folded, and Sturzeneker decided to four-bet all in for his stack of 206,500. Popyk started laughing, shrugged his shoulders and made the call to put Sturzeneker at risk.

Iago Sturzeneker: KQ All in
Ihor Popyk: AK

Popyk had Sturzeneker dominated and stayed in front on the 492 flop. But the Q on the turn put Sturzeneker in the lead, and the 8 on the river gave him the double up with his pair of queens.

Kyle Carlston opened to 3,000 from the hijack, and Tony Parker — playing his first hand — three-bet to 7,000 from the small blind. Carlston made it 20,000 and Parker called.

Parker led out for 20,000 on the KJ2 flop, and Carlston called.

Parker fired out another 50,000 on the Q turn, and quickly called when Carlston shoved for 144,500.

Kyle Carlston: KKAll in
Tony Parker: JJAll in

Parker had middle set but ran into the superior set of kings on the cooler flop. The 8 river completed the board and Carlston doubled through the Hall of Famer.
