Barry Russell

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Action folded to the blinds, and Antonio Galiana, who was in the small blind, raised to 75,000. Raj Vohra, in the big blind, three-bet to 225,000. Galiana called.

The flop came A♥8♥K♣. Galiana checked to Vohra, who fired out a bet of 100,000. Galiana tanked, then decided to put Vohra all in. Vohra called pretty quickly.

Raj Vohra: Q♦Q♥ All in
Antonio Galiana: J♥10♥

No straight or flush for Galiana with the 4♣ on the turn and the J♦ on the river allowed Vohra to scoop this pot and double his stack.

Frederic Normand raised to 55,000 preflop from the cutoff, and was promptly three-bet by Sam Soverel to 230,000 from the small blind. Normand then four-bet to 415,000, after which Soverel responded by moving all in for his remaining chips, and was snap-called by Normand.

Sam Soverel: A♣K♦ All in
Fredric Normand: K♠K♥

Soverel was looking for an ace with his tournament life on the line. Unfortunately, with the runout of 7♠10♥2♣9♥2♦, Normand's kings held and Soverel's run came to an end.

Level 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Gaetan Balleur raised from the button to 55,000. Joshua Remitio, in the small blind, three-bet to 250,000, only to face a four-bet to 700,000 from Balleur.

Remitio didn't take long to announce all in and Balleur snap-called.

Joshua Remitio: A♠J♠ All in
Gaetan Balleur: K♠K♥

Remitio needed to hit an ace to stay alive.

The flop came Q♣3♦7♠ and gave Remitio no help at all.

The 5♣ fell on the turn, leaving just three outs for Remitio.
