Shylko Flips Tumaliuan to the Rail

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Elmo Tumaliuan was down to around 15,000 chips and pushed all in from early position. Aliaksandr Shylko flicked in a call on the button and the rest of the table folded.

Elmo Tumaliuan: {7-Hearts}{7-Clubs}
Aliaksandr Shylko: {a-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}

The two players were flipping and the flop of {j-Spades}{10-Hearts}{4-Spades} put Shylko in the lead with a pair of jacks. The {3-Spades} and {10-Spades} runout provided no help Tumaliuan who was sent to the rail.

Refos Doubles Through Madanzhiev

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

It only took a couple of preflop raises for Raoul Refos and Stoyan Madanzhiev to get all of their chips in the middle preflop. Refos was the player at risk for 34,700 but was in great shape to double up.

Raoul Refos: {a-Spades}{a-Clubs}
Stoyan Madanzhiev: {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts}

The flop fell {k-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} to give Madanzhiev a pair of jacks and some hope. However, the {k-Spades} on the turn and the {3-Clubs} on the river gave Refos the double up, leaving Madanzhiev on the short stack.
