Lucky Double Up for Karlsson

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

Karl Karlsson was seen all in for his last 180,000, holding QJ, and against Kaiwen Wei who had the best hand with JJ.

Karlsson was in bad shape to survive but he found a board Q883K to double up with the queens.

Weng Stacks Stavila

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

Dan Stavila jammed from the cutoff for 210,000 and was called in the small blind by Zheyu Weng to put Stavila at risk.

Dan Stavila: Q10All in
Zheyu Weng: 55

Stavila had a fighting chance against the pocket fives of Weng, but the flop brought no immediate relief as it came 3K6 to keep Weng in the lead.

The 4 turn offered no solace to Stavila, and the 4 river was a brick to award the pot to Weng.

Ibarra Runs Into a Better Pair

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

Netanel Stern opened from under the gun. Jonathan Mccann in the cutoff raised all-in for 750,000, then Carlos Ibarra in the big blind shoved as well for roughly 200,000. Stern went deep into the tank but folded.

Carlos Ibarra: 1010 All in
Jonathan Mccann: JJ

Ibarra asked for a ten, but he didn't find any on K2K99 and was eliminated. "If I cover you, I call," Stern said after the hand. He added that he had KxQx.

Vitkauskas Does a Double Take Out

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

After losing a half a million chips when her kings were busted by jacks in the previous hand, Menglan Xu joined a threesome of shortstacks all in preflop.

Martynas Vitkauskas had the most chips in the hijack. Xu was in with around 80,000 from the cutoff and Edward Quinn was all in with 65,000 from the big blind.

Edward Quinn: AKAll in
Menglan Xu: K8All in
Martynas Vitkauskas: AJ

Xu had the lead through the turn, with a pair of eights on the 281010 board, plus she had a heart draw. But Vitkauskas hit a club flush on the river when the 3 fell, giving him a double knockout and two bounty chips.

Smajd Forces a Fold from Zizka

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

Zdenek Zizka started the action in the cutoff by raising to 90,000 and got called by Anze Smajd next to him.

The flop fell A69 and Zizka continued for 75,000. Smajd called and they both checked on the 5 turn.

The river was the 2 and Zizka checked. Smajd sent 270,000 into the pot and Zizka didn't take long to fold.

Zavorotnijs Building a Big Stack

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

Rob Hollink checked the Q74 flop from the big blind, and Vitalijs Zavorotnijs fired a bet of 75,000 in middle position.

Hollink called, and the 6 turn was checked by both players. Hollink then led out for 220,000 on the 2 river.

Zavorotnijs slid in the call, and Hollink tabled A5 for ace-high. Zavorotnijs showed 99, good enough to take down the pot and new chips to his stack.

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

Tamer Kamel opened to 80,000 from early position, and was called by Fabiano Kovalski in the hijack.

Oleksandr Gnatenko wanted to play for more and raised it to 320,000 from the big blind.
