Tuominen Slows Down Janardhan

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

The {8-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{5-Spades} flop was spread across the table and the action was on Eemil Tuominen on the button. Tuominen bet 13,600 into a pot of around 25,000. Bharath Janardhan was in the cutoff and check-raised to 31,500. With the action back on Tuominen, he thought for a couple of minutes before shipping all in for 67,400.

Janardhan asked for a count and then went into the tank for well over three minutes. He eventually announced a fold but asked Tuominen to show one card.

"I can't. It's a big pot," Tuominen replied as he exchanged his cards for the pot.

Sarnow Stays Alive, Savill Sends One Packing

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

Marian Dumitrache raised it up from middle position and Florian Sarnow shipped all in for a little under 20,000 in the cutoff. The action folded back to Dumitrache who thought for a minute before making the call.

Sarnow was in the lead with {a-Clubs}{q-Spades} but Dumitrache held two live cards with {k-Hearts}{j-Clubs}. The board ran out {9-Spades}{5-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} and Sarnow held on to double up through Dumitrache.

At another table, Sterling Savill was facing an all in of around 24,000 from the cutoff. Savill looked down at his cards in the big blind and made the call. Savill tabled {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} and was up against the {9-Hearts}{7-Hearts} of his opponent.

The flop came {9-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{2-Hearts} giving his opponent a pair of nines but Savill remained in the lead. However, the {9-Spades} on the turn left Savill drawing to just two remaining tens in the deck. Luckily for him, the {10-Hearts} landed on the river and Savill sent his opponent to the rail.
