Turrisi Catches Maric Speeding

Calum Grant

Level 20 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

The action was caught on the turn with 105,000 in the middle on the A♦Q♦2♦5♥ board on show.

Antonio Turrisi bet 20,000 from the big blind before Zeljko Maric raised to 65,000 from under the gun. Joseph Floyd got out of the way on the button.

Turrisi jammed for 109,000 and Maric went into the tank for several minutes. A few "wows" were uttered when Maric made the fold, and Turrisi proudly tabled his 2♣2♠.

Level 20 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Dan Maricuta and Ilir Palushaj were heads-up on a flop of 4♠4♥10♠ when Palushja got his last 220,000 in the middle from early position and Maricuta had him at risk in the hijack.

Ilir Palushaj: A♠K♠
Dan Maricuta: Q♦Q♥

Palushja had the nut flush draw and two overcards against Maricuta's queens, but he missed the 2♦ turn and J♣ river as Maricuta won the pot and sent Palushaj to the rail.

Level 19 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Vivian Saliba raised to 25,000 under the gun, leaving herself just one 5,000 chip behind, and Oleh Shkapenko then moved all in in early position. The table folded back around to Saliba and she tossed in her last chip.

Vivian Saliba: A♠8♣
Oleh Shkapenko: A♥K♣

Saliba was dominated and fell further behind on the 10♦5♦K♠ flop as Shkapenko made top pair. The turn was the 4♦ and Saliba was already drawing dead and wishing the table luck as the 7♦ fell on the river to seal her bustout.

Saliba Runs into Aces; Gets An Immediate Double

Calum Grant

Level 19 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Paul Craciunas opened to 16,000 from middle position before Vivian Saliba moved all in for 98,000 from the hijack. Andrei Spataru called off his stack of 91,000 from the big blind which prompted Craciunas to fold.

Andrei Spataru: A♣A♠
Vivian Saliba: 9♠9♥

The devilish 6♣6♠6♥ flop gave both players a full house but Saliba was still behind. The 5♥J♣ runout confirmed the double-up for Spataru.

The following hand, Saliba committed her last 7,000 and action it folded to Gianluca Gallo in the big blind who automatically called as his big blind covered Saliba's shove.

Saliba had K♦10♠ and was flipping against 3♠3♣. She paired up on the J♦10♥4♦ flop and held out to double after the 6♣ turn and K♠ river.

However, a few hands later, Saliba was seen headed to the payout desk.

Timothy Friese: A♠8♦
Inaki Gonzales: A♥9♦

Rejc Stays in the Tournament

Maxime Taldir

Level 19 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

From the cutoff, Daniel Rejc open-shoved for 47,000 chips. Timothy Friese in the big blind asked for the count, and called.

Daniel Rejc: 10♦10♠
Timothy Friese: K♣10♣

Rejc was in good position to double up, even if Friese found a flush draw on the flop 3♠8♣3♣. But the A♠ and the 8♠ completed the board, so Rejc stayed in the tournament.
