Yankov Jams the River

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Joining the hand on the turn of a 8A6 3 board, with roughly 12,000 chips in the pot, Krasimir Yankov bet 10,800 from the small blind. Yiannis Liperis called from under the gun.

The river 10 completed the available flush draw on the flop and Yankov committed the rest of his 18,200 stack.

Liperis considered his options, looking Yankov up and down, before choosing to fold.

Sangannagari Spikes the Turn

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Sridhar Sangannagari had his stack of 45,000 in the middle from the button and was put at risk by Clemen Deng in the big blind.

Sridhar Sangannagari: 88 All in
Clemen Deng: 1010

Sangannagari was in a world of trouble and didn't find much to work with on the 729 flop. However, the 8 on the turn gave him a set and propelled him into the lead with just one card to come. Deng needed to hit a jack, ten, or a six to scoop the pot, but the A river was of no use, and Sangannagari doubled up.

"He Has to Show"

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

There were roughly 9,000 chips in the pot on a flop of 37K, Seunghyun Nam bet 2,400 from middle position when the 10 hit the turn and was quickly called by Thomas Brabham on the button.

Nam overbet to 21,200 when the 8 hit the river which left himself with less than a big blind in his stack. Brabham clearly not happy as he flicked in a chip to call and got shown 77 which took the pot.

A player announced to the table "he has to show" referring to Brabham, which Brabham responded with "he's not all in!".

Milliard Check-Shoves; Yau Takes His Seat

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

There were around 10,000 chips in the pot on a 34Q9 board when Julian Milliard checked the hijack, and Aliaksandr Hirs fired around 7,500 from the button. Milliard took some time before he shoved for close to 37,000, and Hirs quickly folded.

Ethan Yau has just taken his seat at the same table, and Joseph Frei seems to be one of the chip leaders nearby with around 240,000 in his stack.

Trofimov Finds a Flush on the River

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

On a flop of 56J, [Removed:510] had bet and then called a raise of 13,000 by Edward Hatzakortzian.

The 6 landed on the turn and Hatzakortzian shoved, which got Trofimov to call off his stack of just over 20,000.

[Removed:510]: KJ All in
Edward Hatzakortzian: AJ

Hatzakortzian was ahead with his better kicked but he needed to fade a king and the spades of Trofimov, who turned a flush draw. Unfortunately for Hatzakortzian, he couldn't fade as the 10 on the river completed the flush of Trofimov.

Multi-Way Madness

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante
Viktor Blom
Viktor Blom

Dean Baranowski from the cutoff, Viktor Blom from the button, and Ankit Ahuja from the small blind all called the 800 chip raise from Jared Ward in middle position. Clemen Deng, in an attempt to slim the field, re-raised to 5,300. This was an unsuccessful attempt, as only Ward elected not to see three.

Going four ways to a flop of 654 with roughly 17,000 in the middle. Action checked to Blom who made it 8,600 to go. Next to act, Ahuja sent his remaining 31,500 chips into the middle, putting himself at risk. Action folded back around to Blom, who made the call.

Ankit Ahuja: 66
Viktor Blom: A2

Blom did not have to wait as the 8 was peeled off on the turn. The river would not save Ahuja, and his flopped top set would send him to the rail.
