Roiter Denies Suvarna the Double

Level 8 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Santhosh Suvarna
Santhosh Suvarna

Klemens Roiter opened to 42,000 from under the gun and Santhosh Suvarna moved all in from middle position for his last 21,000. Ian Matakis called from the cutoff and the players went three-ways to the 86A flop.

Roiter made a 30,000 flop bet which was enough to get Matakis to fold, and Suvarna could see his fate as the cards were flipped.

Santhosh Suvarna: AKJ5All in
Klemens Roiter: AKJ9

With both players holding an ace and king, both were looking to hit a runner-runner flush to take the pot.

The 4 turn saw Suvarna get a step closer, but he missed the steal on the 2 river, and he was left to chop the pot.

Level 8 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Nino Pansier
Nino Pansier

With 426,000 in the middle to the K109 flop, Dylan Weisman jammed all in for 352,000 in the cutoff and Santhosh Suvarna reluctantly called on the button with the covering stack.

Dylan Weisman: KQQ9 All in
Santhosh Suvarna: AA104

The 2 turn and 3 river kept Weisman ahead and he doubled to leave Suvarna on the ropes.

Nino Pansier then potted to 42,000 and called a repot to 144,000 by Klemens Roiter in the next seat.

Pansier jammed the K104 flop and Roiter called all in.

Klemens Roiter: AA32 All in
Nino Pansier: AKJ2

The 4 turn and 3 river changed nothing for Roiter to double.

Pansier then limp-raised the pot to 180,000 against Weisman, who called. On the KQ10 flop they got it in with Pansier at risk for 187,000.

Nino Pansier: AA94 All in
Dylan Weisman: A1064

The K turn and 3 river once again awarded a double to the shorter stack.

Stephen Chidwick

This hand was picked up on the turn with approximately 200,000 already in the middle of a board that read AJ6A.

Stephen Chidwick bet 60,000 from the big blind position and was called by Jeremy Ausmus from early position.

The K river led to a bet of 100,000 by Chidwick. This time, Ausmus did not make the call as he opted to fold as Chidwick took in a healthy pot to chip up shortly after joining the tournament.

Eelis Parssinen opened to 35,000 from middle position and Jason Koon called from the hijack. Gruffudd Pugh-Jones also defended his big blind and the three players were taken to the 95K flop.

Gruffudd Pugh-Jones: A965All in
Jason Koon: KK76

Koon was ahead, having flopped the set of kings, but Pugh-Jones was sitting with two pair and and the club flush draw.

A 8 turn saw Gruffudd Pugh-Jones pick up some outs with the striaght draw, but the 6 river didn't improve him and Pugh-Jones was sent to the rail.

Jeremy Druckman
Jeremy Druckman

In a preflop raising war, the chips went into the middle between Daniel Negreanu and Jeremy Druckman with the latter at risk of elimination.

Jeremy Druckman: AA52 All in
Daniel Negreanu: AA65

The 753 flop gave Negreanu the nut flush draw on top and he turned the superior straight when the 4 followed. Last but not least, the K river further improved Negreanu to a flush to send Druckman to the rail.

"Well that was fun, thanks for having me," Negreanu joked after the showdown was completed.
