Weinstein Wins From Deyra

Level 17 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Ivan Deyra opened the action with a raise to 17,000 from the hijack and he was called by David Weinstein on his direct left in the cutoff. The others folded and the two went heads-up to the {10-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} flop.

Deyra continued with a bet of 31,000 and he was called again by Weinstein. The turn was the {a-Clubs} and both checked this time to see the board complete with the {6-Clubs} river.

Dayra bet 28,000 and a very quick call was announced by Weinstein who immediately tabled {a-Spades}{10-Spades}. Deyra mucked his cards and the chips were sent to Weinstein.

Givens Wins Small From Allee

Level 16 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

A player raised from middle position to 16,000 and big blind Will Givens called. The flop was dealt {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{6-Hearts} and Givens check-called a bet of 25,000 from his opponent.

The turn was the {j-Hearts} and both players checked. They did the exact same on the {j-Clubs} river and Givens tabled {k-Hearts}{5-Clubs} for the nut-flush. That was enough to take the pot down and he stacked up some newly won chips.

Igor Kurganov was all in for his last 21,000 from early position and a player raised to 50,000 from the hijack. Athanasios Polychronopoulos four-bet all in himself and the player in the hijack got out of the way.

Igor Kurganov: {a-Clubs}{9-Hearts}
Athanasios Polychronopoulos: {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}

The flop was {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} and Kurganov managed to hit an ace. He faded a king or runner-runner outs after the {j-Clubs}{4-Hearts} run out and he tripled up thanks to the third player in the pot.
