Sevens No Good

Sava Krink

Level 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

PokerNews joined the table when Mustapha Kanit went all in from under the gun. Arnaud Enselme had already committed 550,000 to the pot and had just 90,000 behind. He went deep into the tank, one shy away from the pay jump. When a dealer announced "Payout!" at one of the other tables, his stack went in the middle, and the cards went on their backs.

Arnaud Enselme: A♣7♣ All in
Mustapha Kanit: 7♦7♥

The flop ran out Q♣10♥9♠, giving Enselme plenty of outs. The turn showed the A♥ for a better pair and no sweat on the K♠ as Enselme's pair of aces still held strong.

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

Lars Kamphues kicked off the action from middle position with a raise to 60,000. Action folded to Renan Bruschi in the small blind, and he three-bet to 225,000, leaving himself just 15,000 behind. Kamphues went all in, and Bruschi called.

Renan Bruschi: K♠J♠ All in
Lars Kamphues: A♣5♣

The 2♦5♥J♣ flop gave both players a pair, but Brushi led with a pair of jacks. The 2♠ turn and the 3♥ river didn't change anything, and Bruschi doubled up.

Sava Krink

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

Aleksandr Shevlyakov was sitting under the gun when he went all in for his last 175,000. Action folded to Renji Mao on the button, and he made the call. Nobody else wanted to join the party, and it came down to a showdown.

Aleksandr Shevlyakov: K♣2♣ All in
Renji Mao: Q♦Q♠

The flop was looking promising for Shevlyakov as it gave him a straight draw with 4♥3♦A♠. The 7♠ turn didn't do anything, but the 5♣ river gave him the straight and the much-needed double-up.

Player	Chips	Progress
Renji Mao	720,000 270,000	270,000

Aleksandr Shevlyakov	425,000 250,000	250,000

Adam Lamers

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

Mustapha Kanit raised it up from the cutoff and Leonard Maue ripped all in for a little over 600,000 in the big blind. Kanit contemplated for a moment and then called to put Maue at risk.

Leonard Maue: J♠J♥ All in
Mustapha Kanit: 6♣6♦

The flop came Q♦6♠2♦ with the six in the window to give Kanit a set of sixes and a commanding lead. The 8♦ and 3♥ runout was no help for Maue who stormed out of the tournament area.

Sava Krink

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

After some raise and three-bet action, Naor Slobodskoy moved all in, and Michael Wang found himself with nearly his entire stack already committed, holding onto just around 60,000 behind. With the pay jump in sight, Wang took a moment before deciding to call, and the cards were turned up.

Michael Wang: 6♥6♠ All in
Naor Slobodskoy: Q♦Q♥

Wang needed help to overcome Slobodskoy’s queens, but the J♥4♣7♣ flop gave him nothing. The 8♣ on the turn opened up some straight possibilities, but the 4♦ river sealed his fate, and Wang hit the rail.

Jake Schwartz opened to 50,000 from under the gun. Naor Slobodskoy three-bet to 140,000 from the button, Edward Pak in the small blind called and Schwartz folded.

Both Oak and Slobodskoy checked the 7♥Q♠8♦ flop leading to the 7♦ turn that Pak checked again. Slobodskoy bet 235,000 and Pak made the call.

On the 9♥ river, Pak checked. Slobodskoy decided to check back but ran into Pak's full house with 8♥8♣.

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

The board showed 10♦J♦9♥8♣ and the pot stood at around 210,000, when Thomas Boivin in the big blind checked to Anthony Zinno. He bet out 105,000, prompting a call from Boivin.

Boivin checked the 3♣ river again, and this time Zinno quickly checked back. Boivin tabled K♦7♠ for a small straight, and Zinno double-checked if he could beat this, but his cards found the muck, and Boivin scooped the pot.
