Short, But Less Short

Level 39 : 1,000,000/1,500,000, 1,500,000 ante

When the action folded to Julien Duveau in the small blind, he moved all in for 2,500,000. Prashanth Nataraj flicked in a chip to call from the big blind.

Julien Duveau: A♥J♣ All in
Prashanth Nataraj: 5♠2♥

Both players found a pair on the Q♠5♥J♠ flop, but crucially for Duveau, he retained his lead.

It stayed that way across the 9♦ turn and K♥ river, seeing Duveau double his short stack.

Ace-High Good, Ace-High No Good

Level 39 : 1,000,000/1,500,000, 1,500,000 ante

Laurance Essak opened to 3,500,000 in middle position and Jeevan Lobo called in the big blind.

Lobo checked on the flop of 10♦4♣3♠ and Essak continued for 2,500,000. Lobo called. Both players then checked on the 8♠ turn.

Both players checked again on the 6♥ river and Lobo showed ace-high with A♣Q♥. However, Essak then turned over A♥K♥ to win the pot with a better ace-high as Lobo was left shaking his head in disbelief.

Robert Brobyn open-jammed for 9,600,000 in the hijack and Samuel Rannou re-shoved a stack of 9,300,000 in the small blind.

Samuel Rannou: K♠K♣ All in
Robert Brobyn: A♥Q♥

"I'm going to be left with 300,000 after the hand," Brobyn said before the flop landed 7♥5♥10♥ to give him the nut flush.

The board finished out 2♦Q♠ to send Rannou to the rail as Brobyn joked that he was "using reverse psychology on the universe."

"I've cracked the code!" he cheered.

Crema Sticking Around

Level 38 : Blinds 600,000/1,200,000, 1,200,000 ante

With a Jeevan Lobo raise to 2,500,000 from the button ahead of him, Sebastian Crema moved all in for roughly 6,500,000 from the small blind, which Lobo called.

Sebastian Crema: K♣Q♣ All in
Jeevan Lobo: Q♦5♦

Crema took a commanding lead on the K♦J♣9♠ flop, with Lobo looking for running cards to win outright.

The Q♠ hit the turn, and the A♣ completed the board, giving Crema his double-up.
