Hansen Holds; Krivenstov Tumbles

Level 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Stanislav Kriventsov opened from under the gun and Sean Hansen moved all in for his remaining 1,160,000 stack from middle position. Krivenstov took some time before making the call, leaving himself only 550,000 behind.

Sean Hansen: AKAll in
Stanislav Kriventsov: QK

The 2J9 flop brought in a straight draw for Krivenstov, but he missed on the 6 turn and 9 river, securing the double up for Hansen.

Date with an Eight

Level 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Kyle Hamilton raised in early position to 260,000, and only Evgeny Urubkov called, defending his big blind.

The flop came down K48 and Urubkov checked. Hamilton then made some enquiries concerning Urubkov's stack, confirming it to be 815,000. Hamilton was happy with this amount and moved all in covering his opponent. It seemed like bad news for Hamilton when Urubkov delightedly beat him into the pot.

Evgeny Urubkov: 88 All in
Kyle Hamilton: 99

Urubkov had good reason to be confident, having flopped middle set.

There was no help to be found for Hamilton on the 6 turn or 10 river, and he slid over a pile of chips towards Urubkov.

Ayoub Dodges a Diamond

Level 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Action picked up on the turn in a hand between Hesham Ayoub on the button and Alexander Savchenko in the big blind.

With about 800,000 in the middle and the board reading A7106, Savchenko moved all in to put Ayoub at risk who had about 800,000 behind.

Ayoub thought for a moment before making the call.

Hesham Ayoub: A6 All in
Alexander Savchenko : K6

Ayoub needed to fade a diamond, and the river Xx was a brick earning him the double up.

A Painful Way to Depart

Level 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

We joined the action with both Vicente Pena and Jeffrey Rogers' cards on their back, having got all the money in preflop.

Jeffrey Rogers: QQ All in
Vicente Pena: AJ

It was Rogers at risk, but this pot was for almost all of Pena's stack, also.

The flop 88K was a good start for Rogers, and although the 8 gave Pena one more out, it was still looking good for him.

The river was a cruel blow, though, coming the A. This gave Pena almost a full double-up but, in doing so, sent Rogers to the rail.

Romer Doubles Through Savchenko

Level 28 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Keith Romer was all in and at risk from an early position for 755,000. Alexander Savchenko was the only caller from the big blind.

Keith Romer: AJAll in
Alexander Savchenko: 98

The 944 flop looked good for Savchenko, but Romer brought it back with the J turn.

The K river secured Romer the double.
