Igor Sharaskin Chips Up

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 0 ante

With about 8,000 chips already in the middle and the board reading {Q-Spades}{7-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}, Igor Sharaskin checked to his lone opponent and he bet 4,500. Sharaskin called.

The river brought the {4-Spades}, Sharaskin bet 8,500, his opponent folded, and Sharaskin took the pot.

Just last week, Sharaskin made the final table of Event #19 $565 Pot-Limit Omaha and finished in 3rd place. With the stack he's accumulated today, he may be poised to make another deep run in this tournament.

Aces Cracking Aces

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 0 ante

Jesse Rockowitz and Chris Flint got all the chips in before the flop, and Rockowitz had the larger of the two stacks by a fairly wide margin.

Rockowitz: {A-Spades}{A-Diamonds}{J-}{8-}
Flint: {A-Hearts}{A-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}

Since both players had aces, a chop was decently likely, but the board ran out {8-Hearts}{3-Spades}{2-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{J-Clubs} to give Flint the nut straight and he doubled up.

Level 9 : 400/800, 0 ante

Ben Eilers limped under the gun and got two callers before Miltiadis Kyriakides raised to 2,000 from the big blind. Ben Eilers announced, "Pot," and the two callers folded.

"You limped under the gun. What, you have aces?" said Kyriakides before moving all in.

Eilers showed {q-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{10-Hearts}, while Kyriakides showed {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}{10-Spades}{9-Spades}.

The flop came {8-Hearts}{4-Spades}{q-Spades}, giving Eilers top set. The turn was the {j-Spades}, giving Kyriakides a flush.

"Deuce!" cried Kyriakides, but the river was the {4-Diamonds}, pairing the board and giving Eilers a full house. Kyriakides's head slumped to the felt, and he was eliminated.
