Perry Doubles; Yancey Busts

Christian Zetzsche

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Sean Perry raised to 4,500 with the A♣J♠ and Valentyn Shabelnyk defended the inferior A♥3♦ from the big blind. Shabelnyk check-called for 3,000 on the J♣3♥2♠ flop when both had a piece of it and did so again for 10,000 on the Q♥ turn.

After the K♠ river, Perry jammed for 25,000 and Shabelnyk asked for a count. While he was in the tank, Aaron Zhang asked for a count and during the additional time to think, Shabelnyk called with the bottom pair for Perry to double.

The action switched to Kirk Yancey on the other live stream table who was all-in against Alex Bergfors.

Kirk Yancey: 6♦6♣ All in
Alex Bergfors: A♣K♥

The [AsTc5c94d] board spelled the end for Yancey.

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Corey Wright made it 4,500 to go from under the bug before Denis Strebkov three-bet to about 13,000 from the button. After the blinds folded, Wright four-bet to 31,500, which Strebkov called.

Wright continued with a bet of 25,000 on the 4♣8♠K♠ flop. Strebkov took a little while, but eventually called.

Two checks followed the 8♣ turn to see the 3♣ roll off on the river. Wright checked for the last time, and Strebkov fired out 42,000. Wright took some time to decide what to do, but in the end, he chose to fold and surrender the pot to Strebkov.

The turn brought the 4♣ and Noceda check-called Hansen's 12,500 bet. The 9♣ came on the river and the action went check-check. Noceda tabled A♥5♥ for ace-high which was way behind Hansen's 7♣7♠.

Frank Visser

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

The board read 9♠K♠5♣7♥ when Jeffrey Gross moved his last 66,500 into a pot of 85,000 from the big blind.

Sylwia Studniarz was in the cutoff and deliberated her options. Eventually, she made a reluctant call to put her opponent at risk.

Jeffrey Gross: A♣K♥ All in
Sylwia Studniarz: K♦10♠

Gross needed to fade just three outs to secure his double-up, but Studniarz made her two pair on the 10♥ river. Gross took the beat in stride, wishing his former tablemates good luck before the tournament area.

"Rather lucky than smart," Studniarz concluded as she raked in the pot.

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

On a flop of 7♠9♠6♦ and with around 50,000 in the middle, Aaron Pacheco got his 55,000 into the middle from the button with Jorge Eghi trying to bust him out of the big blind.

Aaron Pacheco: 9♥7♥ All in
Jorge Eghi: 5♣5♥

Pacheco had top two pair against the straight draw and set outs of Eghi. The 10♣ turn and 6♠ river were safe for Pacheco, and he doubled up through Eghi. Eghi was left with just 20,000 and eliminated in the next orbit.

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Jeevandeep Singh opened to 4,500 and got one caller in the big blind Anthony Farelli.

They saw a flop run 8♦K♥J♥. Farelli check-called Singh's bet of 3,500 leading them to the turn.

After another check on the 4♥ turn, Singh upped the pressure to 6,000. Unfazed, Farelli stayed on to see the last card.

With action passed to him once again on the river 5♣, Singh fired 13,000 which was enough to make Farelli fold.

Christian Zetzsche

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Valentyn Shabelnyk opened to 4,000 with K♠K♥ and Robert Kim called with the A♥10♣. Sean Perry on the button three-bet to 12,000 holding the A♣Q♣ and the initial raiser four-bet small to 24,000. Kim got out of the way and Perry was suspicious of being lured into the pot according to the table chat, but came along to the 9♣7♠5♠ flop.

The continuation bet of 16,000 followed by Shabelnyk and Perry stuck around to the 3♦ turn. Shabelnyk slowed down and checked, Perry checked back and they headed to the 10♥ on the river. Shabelnyk pushed all-in and Perry folded.
