Piazinni Among Short Stacks After Running Into Nuts

Frank Visser

Level 4 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

In a pot of 11,000 chips, Hen Rosilio bet 5,200 from middle position on the board of K♣5♠8♣4♣. His opponent was Simone Piazzini in the hijack, and he made the call.

The J♣ then brought a fourth club on the board, but that did not scare Rosilio, who added another 7,000 chips to the pot. Piazzini took some moments before tossing in a calling chip. Rosilio showed A♣7♣ for the nut flush and Piazzini passed his cards to the dealer, face-down.

Suvarna called and they went heads-up to the 9♠7♥6♣ flop. Rcheulishvili continued for 24,000 and Suvarna called.

The turn came the Q♠ and Rcheulishvili bet another 35,000. Suvarna quickly called as the 2♥ fell on the river.

Rcheulishvili then moved all in, having Suvarna's remaining 42,000 well covered, and Suvarna snap-folded.

Renat Bohdanov opened to 1,500 from the button and called Andrea Dato's three-bet to 6,200 from the small blind.

Dato announced a bet of 4,200 on the K♣4♥4♦ flop and begas to stare down his opponent. Bohdanov called.

Dato fired another 9,300 on the Q♥ turn and again started his fixation on Bohdanov. The latter called.

"Check," said Dato as the 7♠ river completed the board. He then quickly folded to a bet of 10,000.

Level 4 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Rafael Mota just arrived in the tournament wearing a finely-tailored grey suit and gold watch, and on one of his first hands three-bet to 4,500 in the hijack.

Vlado Banicevic and Quan Zhou both called as they went three-handed to the 3♦A♦4♠ flop. Mota then bet 3,800 and Banicevic called under the gun, as did Zhou in early position.

The turn was the 10♣ and Banicevic then led out for 12,000. Zhou called, while Mota folded this time. The 4♦ fell on the river and Banicevic checked to Zhou.

Zhou then moved all in for around 48,000 and Banicevic gave it some thought before mucking. Zhou showed the 7♣ as he took the pot.

James Chen opened to 1,300 from under the gun before Birger Ohl made it 4,500 on his direct left. Action folded back to Chen who reraised to 11,500. Ohl five-bet to 27,000 and after a few moments of thinking, Chen called.

The K♣10♠4♣ flop checked through to the 9♥ turn. Chen led out for 30,000 and Ohl went into the tank. After around two minutes, he made what appeared to be a disciplined fold and Chen scooped in a rare five-bet pot.

WSOP veteran Roland Israelashvvili joined the table as the hand had finished, and has a fresh 100,000 starting stack. Israelashvili has 462 cashes under the WSOP umbrella, which includes 10 circuit rings. However, he has still yet to capture a bracelet.

Nemanja Lukovic in the hijack and button Gerald Eisele got into a pre-flop raising war that ended with Lukovic all in for around 60,000.

Nemanja Lukovic: K♠K♥
Gerald Eisele: Q♥Q♣

Lukovic had woken up with kings and was a big favorite to double up as the board ran out 10♥2♥7♣5♥4♠. Eisele's two queens couldn't improve and he was forced to hand over a big portion of his stack.
