Lucky Runout for Robinson

Maxime Taldir

Level 35 : Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante

Andrew Robinson in the cutoff opened to 5,000,000. Maximiliano Castagnini in the small blind raised all in, and Robinson called with the 950,000 he had left.

Andrew Robinson: A♠10♣ All in
Maximiliano Castagnini: 8♠8♦

"Ocho," Castagnini's friends shouted, and they were heard as he hit a set on Q♦6♠8♥. But applauses were followed by a deep "ohhh" when Robinson hit a lucky straight with the J♦K♠ runout to double up.

Ian O'Hara raised to 1,200,000 in the hijack and it folded to Mikhail Zavoloka in the small blind who decided to three-bet to 6,500,000. O'Hara shoved and Zavoloka called all in for a stack around 10,800,000 total.

Mikhail Zavoloka: Q♦Q♣ All in
Ian O'Hara: A♠A♦

Zavoloka didn't find any miracle throughout the 7♥3♦9♠6♣9♣ board and exited the tournament's area to collect his payout.

Level 35 : Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante

Maximiliano Castagnini raised to 1,200,000 from under the gun, but Bahar Musa in the hijack three-bet to 3,600,000. Castagnini went into the tank and eventually made the call.

Musa continued for 2,200,00 on a flop of 4♠4♣9♥. Once again, it took a long moment for Castagnini to check-call.

After Castagnini checked the 9♣ turn, Musa bet 4,500,000 and managed to make Castagnini fold.

Bahar Musa	53,000,000 7,000,000	7,000,000

Ankit Ahuja opened to 6,200,000 from middle position, keeping only 400,000 behind. Maximiliano Castagnini in the hijack raised all-in with a bigger stack, and Ahuja called.

Ankit Ahuja: A♠Q♣ All in
Maximiliano Castagnini: A♥K♠

Ahuja ran into ace-king and didn't hit the queen he needed on J♠10♦8♥7♠4♠ board, so he was eliminated.

Eshaan Bhalla: Q♠J♠ All in
Ian O'Hara: 8♣8♦

O'Hara's pair of eights improved into a full house with the 2♥8♥Q♣2♠A♣ ranout and Bhalla was eliminated from the event.

On the 4♣ turn, Zavoloka asked for 4,000,000, but it was too much for O'Hara, who folded.
