David Salituro

Level 17 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Rehman Kassam and Martin Wolf were heads-up on a flop of 5♦3♠9♦ when Wolf got his last 170,000 in the middle from under the gun and Kassam called in the big blind.

Martin Wolf: J♣9♣
Rehman Kassam: A♦3♦

Wolf had top pair, but Kassam held a pair and nut flush draw. The 9♠ turn improved Wolf to trips, but Kassam spiked the 10♦ on the river to make his flush and bust another opponent.

Level 17 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

In a blind versus blind battle, Yulian Bogdanov bet 60,000 on a flop of Q♥Q♠K♠ and Daniel Dvoress then raised to 135,000.

Bogdanov called and the 10♣ fell on the turn. He checked over to Dvoress, and Dvoress then bet 165,000. Bogdanov came back with an all-in shove and sent Dvoress deep in the tank.

Dvoress spent several minutes shaking his head and counting out his stack before calling for around 500,000. He turned over Q♣7♣ for trips, while Bogdanov had K♦10♦.

"I knew you had a queen," Bogdanov said as he was one card away from handing over the massive double up. The river, though, brought the K♣ and Bogdanov spiked a full house to send Dvoress crashing to the rail in sudden fashion.

Level 17 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Picking up the action on the 8♦5♥3♥9♣ turn, Dario Sammartino checked and then called a bet worth 200,000 by the table chip leader Keneshka Kabir from one seat over.

Sammartino checked again the 4♣ on the river and Kabir took just a few seconds before announcing all-in.

That sent the Italian into the tank for five minutes as the end of the level was reached. Sammartino then called and Kabir revealed his Q♦10♣ for a bluff gone wrong.

Sammartino slammed his A♦K♣ on the felt for a hero-call with ace-king high and doubled for 512,000 to put a big dent into Kabir's stack.

Level 17 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

While all other tables were barren of players, Ruslan Volkov and Michele Pucci were still battling. Volkov had raised to 25,000 from the button before Pulci three-bet to 75,000 from the small blind.

Volkov then jammed, covering Pucci's stack of roughly 300,000 chips. Pucci pondered for a moment before making the call, and the players showed down.

Michele Pucci: A♣Q♠
Ruslan Volkov: 3♠3♣

The board ran out 8♥2♦7♣4♥2♠ and Volkov won the pot with his pocket pair.

Pucci let his opponent know he was not happy with the play, but Volkov just shrugged his shoulders and kept stacking chips onto his impressive tower.

Eric Tsai raised to 35,000 in the hijack before Kasparas Klezys three-bet to 145,000 in the small blind.

Tsai called and they went heads-up to the 7♣Q♦8♣ flop. Klezys continued for another 145,000 and Tsai called.

The turn was the Q♣ and Klezys slowed down and checked. Tsai then bet 310,000 and Klezys called to see the 8♠ river.

He checked again, and Tsai moved all in. Klezys had around 960,000 remaining and tanked for about a minute before folding.
