Ben Warrington opened to 200,000 and Matas Cimbolas called. The flop was {2-Spades}{4-Hearts}{6-Diamonds} and both players checked. Cimbolas check-called a bet of 225,000 on the {Q-Clubs} turn to see the {J-Hearts} river and the Lithuanian checked a third time.

Warrington fired 445,000 this time, about a quarter of Cimbolas' remaining chips. Cimbolas thought briefly but then opted to fold.

Cimbolas Doubles Through Warrington

Level 31 : 60,000/120,000, 20,000 ante
Matas Cimbolas - and no, that's not a penguin dressed as a Dalek behind him.
Matas Cimbolas - and no, that's not a penguin dressed as a Dalek behind him.

Matas Cimbolas open-shoved for 1,645,000 preflop. Ben Warrington tanked for two minutes then made the call.

Cimbolas: {A-Spades}{5-Hearts}
Warrington: {A-Hearts}{6-Clubs}

Warrington was ahead but barely. The flop came {9-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{Q-Clubs} and it looked as though it was going to be a chop until the {5-Diamonds} came on the turn to put Cimbolas in front. Warrington needed a six or seven to win the lot but the {2-Clubs} came instead.

The Lithuanian is right back in this.

Warrington: {Q-Clubs}{10-Spades}
Cimbolas: {J-Spades}{7-Spades}

Warrington Almost Back to Even

Level 32 : 75,000/150,000, 25,000 ante

Ben Warrington raised to 300,000 and Matas Cimbolas called. Both players checked the {10-Spades}{2-Spades}{3-Diamonds} flop before Cimbolas led out for 375,000 on the {7-Clubs} turn. Warrington called to see the {10-Diamonds} river and Cimbolas bet a chunky 850,000 which Warrington called.

Cimbolas showed {8-Spades}{7-Hearts} but Warrington tabled {9-Spades}{7-Diamonds}, the nine kicker playing. Cimbolas laughed.
