Level 37 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

In a blinds-versus-blinds showdown, Alberto Speranzoni shoved all in from the small blind with A♦10♣, putting Rostyslav Sabishchenko to the test. Sabishchenko, holding A♥2♦, made the call, hoping to double his 3,075,000 stack.

The flop came down Q♣2♥2♠, giving Sabishchenko trip deuces, and you could almost hear his sigh of relief.

Speranzoni was left needing a miracle on the turn to stay alive, but the 8♥ sealed his fate, leaving him drawing dead. Sabishchenko secured the double-up.

Rostyslav Sabishchenko raised to 1,000,000 in the cutoff. Przemyslaw Szymanski then jammed all in for 7,650,000 on the button before Fadeev reshoved in the big blind.

Sabishchenko quickly got out of the way as the other players tabled their cards.

Przemyslaw Szymanski: A♦Q♠ All in
Dmitrij Fadeev: K♥K♦

It was looking like Szymanski needed an ace to double up but instead he flopped two queens on Q♥Q♦8♣ for a massive lead.

The J♥ turn did bring Fadeev a much-needed king, and the Q♣ river granted Szymanski four of a kind to win the pot in style.

Dmitrij Fadeev opened the action on the button with a raise to 1,125,000, holding J♠J♦. In the small blind, Alberto Speranzoni looked down at A♦8♣, checked Fadeev's stack, and decided to shove all in. Fadeev quickly called, and Speranzoni wasn't thrilled when the cards were revealed.

The flop changed everything as it came 5♠6♥7♣, giving Speranzoni an open-ended straight draw and a glimmer of hope.

The 5♥ on the turn didn’t help either player, but the river stunned the table as the 9♠ completed Speranzoni’s straight, sending Fadeev out in 5th place.

Level 38 : Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante

From under the gun, Daniel Trunk opened the action with a raise to 1,300,000, holding a strong Q♥Q♦. Rostyslav Sabishchenko, sitting with 5,700,000 in chips, saw his opportunity and pushed all in with A♦9♣. Trunk quickly called, setting up a showdown.

The flop came J♦10♠4♣, not doing much to change the situation, with Trunk’s queens still in the lead. However, the turn brought the crucial A♠, giving Sabishchenko top pair and flipping the script.

Now needing a queen or king to knock Sabishchenko out, Trunk anxiously awaited the river. But luck wasn't on his side, as the J♠ hit, sealing Sabishchenko's double-up and keeping his tournament run alive.
