Palitz Sees Double

Jacob Wilson

Level 16 : 0/0, 6,000 ante

J♦A♦6♥7♥8♦
A♣7♣2♠2♣5♥

Action picked up after the players had already put all their chips into the middle preflop. Renji Mao got it in from the small blind with A♠K♣J♣10♠ and was put at risk by Wayne Palitz, who called with 9♠7♠7♦3♥.

Despite Mao pairing his ace on both boards, Palitz flopped a set of sevens on the bottom board, before turning one on the top board, sending Mao home with a min-cash. The table let Palitz know that they were appreciative, saying, "thanks for getting rid of the crusher."

Tobias Hausen: A♣A♠8♣9♥

Pavel had flopped a set of kings on both boards, but could not beat Hausen's set of aces on top and nut flush on the bottom.

Level 16 : Blinds 0/0, 6,000 ante

9♥K♠10♠2♣Q♣
7♦4♣10♣6♠8♠

Panagiotis Vafakis had got it all in and was at risk with A♠K♦Q♠9♦. Quan Tran had made the call on the flop with Q♥J♦8♣9♣ having flopped the nut straight on the top board, and a nine-high flush draw on the bottom, as well as an open-ender.

Vafakis was looking for a spade or a jack on the top board, and had to dodge a large amount of outs on the bottom. Unfortunately for him, Tran instantly turned the nuts on the bottom board, and held on the top, sending Vafakis packing.

Level 17 : Blinds 0/0, 8,000 ante

J♣6♣3♦10♣7♠
K♠A♦10♥10♠7♥

Arriving at the river, Hen Rosilio placed his 130,000 stack into the middle, but pulled 4,000 back after finding out that the pot held only 126,000. Richard Green made the call, and Anatoly Zlotnikov did the same.

Green showed A♣8♣6♠5♦ and announced "nuts", referring to his ace-high flush on the top board. Both Zlotnikov and Rosilio were playing the bottom board. The former showed K♣K♦6♦4♦ coolering Rosilio's A♠10♦ for a worse full house. He then reluctantly showed his remaining cards, which were the inconsequential J♦9♣

Rosilio was left with peanuts, and busted out shortly after.

Anatoly Zlotnikov	520,000 363,000	363,000

Nanev No Good

Jacob Wilson

Level 18 : Blinds 0/0, 10,000 ante

Q♣A♠Q♦5♥10♠
A♥6♣2♠9♣8♣

Three players got it all in at the culmination of these two boards, and there was a scramble to find out which one was taking down each board.

Igor Zekster showed down A♣Q♠6♦8♦, as he had the second-best full house on the top board (queens-full), as well as aces-up on the bottom. Fabian Rolli then tabled A♦10♣9♠7♥ to take over the lead on the bottom board with the best straight possible (ten-high). The only thing that would have kept Rumen Nanev alive was two aces, or two clubs. His Q♥J♥J♣2♥ did not qualify, and the dealer called for him to be paid out.

Player	Chips	Progress
Fabian Rolli	510,000 346,000	346,000
Igor Zektser	380,000 271,000	271,000

Rumen Nanev	Busted

Level 18 : Blinds 0/0, 10,000 ante

K♦Q♠6♠3♦A♦
K♥J♥7♥9♥7♠

Jinyan Hou led out for a minimum bet of 10,000. Only Stephen Graner made the call.

On the turn, Hou continued betting. This time it was for 35,000. Graner stuck around again.

On the river cards, Hou now checked and Graner bet enough to cover Hou's stack. Hou called.

Graner showed J♦8♦7♣3♣ for a full house (bottom) and a flush (top), which beat Hou's A♥K♠Q♥2♠ on both boards and scooped the pot.

Jeffrey Herman: A♠5♠6♥4♥ All in
Sergiy Alariki: K♥9♠6♦5♥ All in
Brian Smith: K♦K♠4♠3♦

Smith had top set on the top board and his overpair made kings-up on the bottom board, which held to scoop and eliminate Herman and Alariki.

Level 18 : Blinds 0/0, 10,000 ante

A♣4♠7♥
5♦9♥Q♦

Antoine Sankari bet the pot for a total of 160,000 from under the gun and Matthew Tamura re-potted for 565,000. Sankari seemingly tanked while a player at the table pointed out there was a pay jump in 6 places. The clock was called on Sankari as the player at the table pointed out Sankari only had 3,000 behind and the timer was started. Sankari then flicked in the rest of his chips.

Antoine Sankari: 7♦5♠3♦2♠ All in
Matthew Tamura: A♥J♦4♦2♣

Q♠8♦
K♣A♦

Tamura scooped the pot with a jack-high flush on the bottom board and two pair, aces and fours on the top board. Sankari was eliminated.
