Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Chris "The Armenian Express" Grigorian
Chris "The Armenian Express" Grigorian

There was some blind vs blind action with around 100,000 in the middle on the flop of {k-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}. The turn brought the {10-Hearts} and Chris Grigorian checked from the small blind. Denys Shafikov bet 60,000 in the big blind and Grigorian snap-called.

The {10-Clubs} paired the board on the river and Grigorian checked again. Shafikov tossed in a bet of 45,000 and Grigorian instantly announced all in for 285,000. Shafikov called just as fast and Grigorian tabled {a-Clubs}{10-Spades}. Shafikov showed {k-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} before his cards hit the muck.

"Yes! Ship it to Armenia!" Grigorian shouted as he pumped the air with his fists.

Cohen Cooked by Quads

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Sam Cohen
Sam Cohen

Paul Hizer opened from the button and was called by Sam Cohen and Jared Koppel in the blinds.

The flop came {q-Spades}{4-Hearts}{5-Clubs} for both Cohen and Koppel to check. Hizer bet, Cohen shoved and so did Koppel with the bigger stack. Hizer quickly got out of their way.

Sam Cohen: {a-}{a-}
Jared Koppel: {4-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}

Cohen had an overpair while Koppel had a set of fours.

The turn was the {a-Spades} for Cohen to hit a higher set but the {4-Spades} on the river pulled in the gasps as Koppel now hit quads to eliminate Cohen from the tournament.

Ben Palmer raised it up to 16,000 in the hijack and Johan Guilbert three-bet to 51,000 from the small blind. Palmer four-bet shoved all in for around 180,000 and Guilbert snap-called.

Ben Palmer: {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}

The flop came {q-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{5-Clubs} and Guilbert's pair of nines remained in the lead. However, the {a-Hearts} on the turn paired Palmer's ace. The tides turned again on the river as the {10-Hearts} hit the felt and Guilbert made a flush to eliminate Palmer.

Three players were still in the hand with the board reading {10-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{2-Clubs}. The action checked to Erkut Yilmaz in middle position who bet 74,000 into a pot of around 100,000. Mohsin Charania called from the big blind while the under-the-gun player folded.

The river brought the {a-Hearts} and Charania checked again. Yilmaz checked it back and Charania tabled {k-Clubs}{9-Clubs} for a pair of nines and a missed flush draw. Yilmaz turned over {j-Spades}{10-Diamonds} for a pair of tens and was awarded the pot.

Fahredin Mustafov raised to 16,000 from the late position and was called by Martin Magal in the hijack and Preston Lee in the big blind.

They all checked through the {j-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{5-Diamonds} on the flop to the {4-Hearts} on the turn. Lee bet 40,000 and only Mustafov called.

The river completed the board with the {2-Diamonds}, Lee shoved with the bigger stack and Mustafov snap-called. Lee tabled {k-Clubs}{j-Hearts} for two pair with the king-kicker. Mustafov held {j-Spades}{8-Spades} for the same two pair but with the lower kicker for his run in the Marathon to end for this year.

Benjamin Ludlow: {10-Diamonds}{9-Spades}

Russell Does What Leng Asks For

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Three players saw a flop of {j-Spades}{8-Spades}{5-Hearts} and Ryan Leng fired out a bet of 29,000 in early position. Matt Russell called as did David Pham on the button.

The turn was the {10-Spades} and the action checked around to the {j-Hearts} on the river. Leng checked again and Russell tossed in a bet of 88,000. Pham thought for a minute before decided to lay his hand down.

"This is never beating you, right?" Leng sarcastically asked as he flashed {q-Spades}{q-Clubs} before they hit the muck. "I bet you can't show me a worse hand."

Russell flashed {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades} to prove Leng wrong and the pot was sent his way.

Jeffrey Chang shoved from the small blind for 72,000 and was called by Anatoly Filatov in the big blind.

Jeffrey Chang: {k-Clubs}{q-Spades}
Anatoly Filatov: {j-Clubs}{5-Clubs}

The board ran out {2-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{10-Spades}{6-Diamonds} for Chang to hold with the higher hole cards to double up, a fate that wasn't meant for Freek Scholten who was just eliminated on the same table, just before this hand.
