Cross Gets a Shove Through; Putz Tests DiMascio's Nerves

Level 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Heads-up on a flop of 943, Arnaud Mattern bet 30,000 from early position and Paul Cross called on the button.

The turn was the Q and Mattern bet another 85,000. Cross then moved all in for 405,000 and Mattern spent several minutes in the tank before folding.

At another table, Dong Chen had opened to 24,000 in early position before Paul DiMascio three-bet to 100,000 in middle position. Andreas Putz then moved all in for 172,000 in the big blind and Chen folded, but DiMascio called to put him at risk.

Andreas Putz: AK All in
Paul DiMascio: AK

Both players showed the same hand and were poised to chop the pot as the flop came 83K. The 5 fell on the turn and Putz was suddenly freerolling to a flush as the table let out a collective gasp, but the river was a harmless 9.

"My nervous system can't handle that," DiMascio said after the hand.

Rui Nogueira: QQ All in
Tolga Demirel: KK

The board ran out 10JJ94, and Nogueira was eliminated.

Wittmeyer Doubles Through Margets

Level 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Leo Margets
Leo Margets

Leo Margets opened the action with a raise to 25,000 from middle position and got a call from Robert Nemeskerikiss in the hijack. Brandon Wittmeyer, sitting on the button, then ripped in a three-bet to 369,000, leaving himself just a single big blind behind.

Margets asked for a count and, after getting confirmation, moved all in. Nemeskerikiss got out of the way, and Wittmeyer quickly called off the rest.

Leo Margets: 1010All in
Brandon Wittmeyer: AQ

It was a classic flip, and while Margets was ahead preflop, the J32A6 runout gave Wittmeyer top pair and the much-needed double-up, leaving Margets with a dented stack.

The hand was completed, the table wiped, the deck changed, and play resumed.

Perati Picks Off Pateychuk in Prodigious Pot

Level 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Muhamet Perati raised to 25,000 on the button and Andrey Pateychuk defended from the big blind. The flop came Q76 and Pateychuk check-called a bet of 20,000 from Perati.

The turn brought the 8 and Pateychuk checked again. Perati counted out a bet of 65,000 and Pateychuk check-raised to 220,000. Perati called and they were off to the K on the river.

Pateychuk announced all in as the big stack and Perati had a decision to make for his stack of 767,000. He thought for well over two minutes before sticking in some chips to call. Pateychuk rolled over 97 for a pair with a missed straight and flush draw while Perati claimed the pot with QQ for a set of queens.
