Flush for Audziunin

Maxime Taldir

Level 28 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Julien Loire raised to 125,000 from middle position, and Kiryl Audziunin was the only one to call from the big blind.

On a flop of 5♦A♠4♦, Loire bet 100,000, and Audziunin check-called. Then Loire fired a second barrel of 200,000 on the turn J♦. Audziunin called again. But on the river A♦, neither Loire nor Audziunin took the risk to bet.

First player to reveal his cards, Audziunin showed 7♠6♦ for a flush. Loire looked at the board and mucked his cards.

Shawn Stroke opened to 140,000 from under the gun and called when Ermanno Di Nicola made it 350,000 from the button.

On the 6♣ river, Stroke made a third check, and Di Nicola sized up to 400,000.

"Ace-six?" questioned Stroke but Di Nicola didn't budge.

Stroke began listing some more hands that Di Nicola could have which resulted in Stroke calling.

Di Nicola tabled A♠6♠ for two pair, aces and sixes and Stroke conceded the pot.

Level 28 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Jan Turjak raised to 150,000 in middle position and Stepan Khachaturyan called in the hijack.

The flop came 2♦4♣10♥ and Turjak tossed out another 400,000. Khachaturyan spent a few minutes counting out his stack and at one point seemed poised to move in as Turjak motioned to call.

The dealer stopped Turjak as Khachaturyan continued to tank. He eventually did move all in for 1,145,000 and Turjak snap-called.

Stepan Khachaturyan: 10♣10♠
Jan Turjak: J♣J♠

Turjak let out a loud moan when he found out Khachaturyan had flopped top set. The turn came the 9♠, followed by the 10♦ river as Khachaturyan made quads to double up.

Alain Saka opened to 120,000 from the hijack, then Eyal Saidof raised all in for 480,000. Saka asked for the count, and called.

Eyal Saidof: K♣10♣
Alain Saka: K♠10♦

"I have a full house" said Saka on a board of 7♠10♠7♣10♥Q♠. Of course he was kidding as both players had the same hand, and they split the pot.

Level 28 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Ercan Atmaca and Dennis Magro had only just come back from break when they engaged in a pre-flop raising war that ended when Magro was all in for 1,900,000 from middle position, while Atmaca had him covered and at risk in the hijack.

Dennis Magro: A♦K♣
Ercan Atmaca: Q♥Q♠

A 4,000,000 chip pot was at stake as they went to the K♥K♠8♠ flop. Magro made trip kings and left Atmaca looking for a miracle on the turn and river, but none arrived on 5♥3♠ as Magro earned the massive double up.
