Boyko Doubles; Another Three Bust

Christian Zetzsche

Level 21 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Yuriy Boyko raised to 75,000 on the button and then called a pot-sized three-bet by Joshua Adkins in the big blind. Adkins jammed the 10♥3♠2♠ flop and Boyko reluctantly called all-in for 415,000 after more than three minutes.

Yuriy Boyko: A♥10♣8♣7♥ All in
Joshua Adkins: A♣A♦K♣J♣

The Q♥ turn and J♥ river gave Boyko a winning flush for the double.

Alec Weller then took on chip leader Jonathan Bowers, who bet the pot on the 9♣4♦4♠Q♣8♦ river. The tank-call of Weller followed and he was shown the A♠8♥8♠3♥ for a rivered full house. Weller was disgusted and murmured "I knew you had bullshit" before tossing his cards towards the muck.

They were briefly exposed for what appeared to be a queen-high straight.

Phuoc Vo and Tim Grau also bowed out in quick succession to reduce the field to the final five tables.

Level 21 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

James Carroll bet the K♥Q♦2♣A♦ turn for 110,000 and Patrick Kennedy called from the next seat. That led them to the 10♠ river on which Carroll bet just 40,000. Kennedy folded and Carroll won the pot uncontested.

Level 21 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

With two players seeing a final board of 10♥8♠4♥A♣K♥ and about 350,000 in the middle, Vasil Medarov shoved for 275,000 from the small blind and was called by Andrew Loomis who covered him slightly from early position.

Medarov tabled a flush with K♠8♥9♥6♠.

"I had the ace of hearts, didn't believe you" Loomis replied, turning over A♥A♠J♣4♦ for top set and a blocker to the nut-flush. Medarov scooped in a full double up while Loomis was left with just 30,000 and was eliminated the next hand.

Level 21 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

In a limped pot to the A♠Q♣10♠ flop, Andrew Loomis got his short stack in out of the blinds with the A♣10♦8♣6♦ for the top and bottom pair. Bruno Fitoussi had the K♥J♥8♦4♣ for the flopped straight and held on a 8♠ turn as well as 7♥ river.

Fitoussi moved up to around 700,000 but those chips then vanished and moved one spot over to Ferenc Deak.

They got it in on the 8♠6♣5♥ flop with Fitoussi at risk.

Bruno Fitoussi: 10♠9♥8♥6♠ All in
Ferenc Deak: A♦J♠6♦6♥

The 2♥ turn gave Fitoussi a flush draw but he bricked the 3♠ river to become the next casualty in 39th place.

Christian Zetzsche

Level 21 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Four ways to the A♣K♦3♣ flop, Elie Nakache bet 125,000 and was called by James Carroll. Filippos Stavrakis in the small blind check-called, as did Manh Nguyen in the big blind.

They headed to the 2♥ turn on which Stavrakis potted for 630,000, Nguyen got his chips in and the other two players folded.

Manh Nguyen: 5♣4♠3♦2♠ All in
Filippos Stavrakis: A♦8♠5♥4♦

The J♥ river ensured a split pot.

One table over, Uri Reichenstein tangled with Stephen Chidwick. After action on previous streets, Reichenstein bet just 30,000 on the 10♦3♣3♥A♣2♠ river. Chidwick raised to 410,000 with one chip behind and Reichenstein called.

Chidwick tabled the A♦J♠10♠10♥ for tens full and essentially doubled.

Patrick Kennedy then also doubled on the same table as before when he raised to 105,000 and got his short stack of 365,000 in against Jose Ramon Garcia.

Patrick Kennedy: A♠Q♦10♠9♥ All in
Jose Ramon Garcia: K♦K♣Q♠8♠

The 10♣9♣6♠7♦A♦ runout improved Kennedy to aces and tens for the double.
