Alt Doubles Through Kakoishvili

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Chandru Alt raised to 2,500 from under the gun and was called by Nika Kakoishvili in the hijack, Jan Bednar, and Georgios Koliofotis in the blinds.

The flop came {4-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{5-Clubs}, both Bednar and Koliofotis checked. Alt continued with a bet of 2,400 and only Kakoishvili called.

The turn was the {q-Spades} and now Alt fired a bet of 9,000 over the line which Kakoishvili called.

The river completed the board with the {10-Clubs}, Alt now opted to check and Kakoishvili shoved. Alt tanked but ended up making the call. Kakoishvili hesitated and then slowly opened {10-Spades}{6-Spades} for two pair, tens and fours, with the queen-kicker on the board. Alt flipped over {k-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} for the same two pair but the higher king-kicker in the hand to double up for the 26,700 he had in front of him. The rest of the table all laughed and joked around but Kakoishvili didn't show much of a response.

Two Bustouts on Table 138

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Two hands in a row, there was an all in showdown over on table 138 and as a result, two players were eliminated in quick succession.

First off it was Kurt Schuetzenmeier that jammed for 25,100 on the three-way flop of {A-Spades}{10-Hearts}{5-Spades} and Mirza Meskic called on the button.

Kurt Schuetzenmeier: {A-Clubs}{4-Clubs}
Mirza Meskic: {A-Hearts}{J-Clubs}

The board completed with the {8-Hearts} turn and {K-Spades} river to eliminate Schuetzenmeier.

Right after, Yunsheng Sun and Henry Klitzner clashed with near identical stacks and the latter was the player at risk with the {K-Clubs}{8-Clubs}. Sun had {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs} and the board came {J-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}{6-Clubs} and the pair of tens held up for Sun, who had the covering stack with 39,400.

Snejberg Wins Against Battaglia

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Josef Snejberg called the three-bet of Antonio Battaglia in the small blind for 9,300 after Snejberg himself had raised in the hijack.

They both checked through the {7-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{q-Clubs} on the flop to the {5-Hearts} on the turn. Battaglia bet 7,000 and Snejberg called.

The river completed the board with the {4-Hearts} and they both checked again. Battaglia tabled {a-Spades}{j-Hearts} for ace-high and was bested by Snejberg's {j-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} who had flopped a pair of tens.

Cetinbilek Eliminates Two Opponents

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Anatolii Zyrin had raised from the cutoff and Antonio Battaglia has shoved for 13,900 on the button. Ali Cetinbilek called in the small blind and action was back on Zyrin who also decided to shove for almost 50,000 in total. Cetinbilek looked at the amount and called that shove too with the bigger stack.

Antonio Battaglia: {A-Hearts}{4-Hearts}
Anatolii Zyrin: {5-Spades}{5-Clubs}
Ali Cetinbilek: {K-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}

The board ran out {9-Hearts}{10-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{9-Diamonds} for Cetinbilek's opponent to be drawing dead on the turn already as he hit a set of kings and improved to a full house by the time the river was dealt. Both Zyrin and Battaglia quickly made their way out of the tournament area.

Burneikis Doubles Through Prior

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

The board read {2-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{10-Spades} with over 60,000 in the middle already and three players in the hand.

Daniel Prior shoved with the biggest stack in the small blind. Marek Soukup was sitting in the big blind and opted to fold. Vladas Burneikis considered his options from the button and decided to make the call. Prior tabled {4-Hearts}{2-Hearts} for the flopped pair of deuces and Burneikis showed {a-Hearts}{10-Hearts} for the rivered pair of tens to scoop the pot.

Prior tapped the table: "nice hand" and then paid Burneikis the 31,700 he had in front of him for the double-up.
