Rybin Turns the Nuts, Gets Paid

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 0 ante

The Alexey Rybin express keeps right on rolling, as we just saw him take another huge pot off of start-of-day-2 chip leader Matt O'Donnell to add further to his chip-leading stack as Level 12 nears its close.

We arrived on the turn to see a {2-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} board and O'Donnell firing 42,000 into the middle. Rybin called the bet, and Nacho Barbero folded from the button.

The pot was already big when the river brought the {3-Spades} and O'Donnell pushed out another bet of around 100,000. Rybin sat quietly for just a moment, then said he was reraising the pot and O'Donnell quickly folded, preserving just 40,000 or so behind.

Rybin tabled his cards — {A-Clubs}{A-Spades}{10-Clubs}{9-Hearts} for the nut straight — and collected the big pot. O'Donnell managed to double up once right before the break, but he's still sitting with less than a third of his starting stack.

Brandes Doubles Through Kostritsyn

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 0 ante

After a series of bets and raised, Fabian Brandes was all in and at risk preflop against Alexander Kostritsyn.

Brandes: {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}
Kostritsyn: {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{q-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}

The {6-Spades}{9-Spades}{q-Diamonds} flop gave Kostitsyn a pair of queens and a gut-shot straight draw, and the {j-Clubs} on the turn gave him a leading two pair, but the {9-Hearts} completed the board, giving Brandes aces up.

He doubled to 44,000 chips, while Kostritsyn fell to 12,000.

EPT Prague Winner Doubles

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 0 ante

Ramzi Jelassi, who took down the EPT Prague Main Event last December for over a million dollars, checked on a flop of {8-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{k-Hearts}. A second player checked as well, Daniel Alaei fired out 6,000, and Morten Stenheim called. Jelassi moved all in for 23,600, and the action folded to Stenheim, who called.

Jelassi: {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}{5-Spades}{4-Spades}
Stenheim: {a-Hearts}{8-Spades}{2-Clubs}{2-Hearts}

Jelassi's two pair held as the turn and river both produced black sevens, and he doubled to 75,000 chips.

Pierce Drops Some

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 0 ante

Paul Pierce raised to 4,000 from the cutoff seat and George Danzer called from the button. A player in the small blind then reraised to 18,000, and both Pierce and Danzer called.

The flop came {K-Spades}{6-Spades}{7-Hearts}. The player in the small blind pushed all in, Pierce called, but Danzer stepped aside.

Pierce had {K-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} (a pair of kings) while his opponent tabled {A-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{8-Clubs} (a pair of aces). The turn was the {6-Diamonds} and river the {6-Clubs}, and the all-in player survived.

Rybin Rolling

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 0 ante

We only arrived at the aftermath, but a big all-in confrontation had just completed involving Alexey Rybin and David Paredes that saw the latter lose all of his big stack to Rybin.

Rybin now sits with more than 550,000, the biggest stack in the room at the moment with about 110 players remaining.

King Climbs

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 0 ante

A four-way hand just developed involving Dustin Dirksen (big blind), Lassel King (middle position), David Chiu (late position), and Paul Pierce (button). Preflop action between the four saw Dirksen all in with his short stack, and Chiu having called a big reraise from King while Pierce got out after having contributed one call.

The flop then came {8-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}, and when King led with a bet Chui folded. Dirksen then showed {Q-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{2-Clubs} and King {A-Diamonds}{A-Spades}{J-Spades}{10-Diamonds}, and after the {6-Diamonds} turn and {2-Hearts} river, King had made a winning flush and Dirksen is out.
