Hovhannisyan Shoves the River

Kai Cocklin

Level 21 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

On a board of J♠4♥8♣K♠, both Adrian Cazacu and Mels Hovhannisyan had put in around 130,000 on the turn to see the 9♥ fall on the river.

Cazacu bet 200,000, and Hovhannisyan shoved for around 600,000. Cazacu slowly counted out his remaining stack, and could definitely afford the card with around 1,800,000 behind. Ultimately, Cazacu thought better of it and dropped his cards into the muck, then the pot was pushed in Hovhannisyan's direction.

Sava Krink

Level 21 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Apostolos Chatzopoulos found himself in a downward spiral, starting with a massive pot loss to Dennis Krusch.

With the board showing 5♠6♥9♣5♦J♦ and around 450,000 already in the pot, Krusch bet 250,000. Chatzopoulos responded by shoving all-in for roughly 700,000. Krusch agonized over the decision, knowing that calling would put him at risk. After a long deliberation, he made the call. Chatzopoulos revealed K♦Q♠, bluffing, while Krusch showed K♣J♠, winning the hand with two pair—jacks and fives.

In the very next hand, Chatzopoulos was left with just 135,000 in the big blind. Patrick Bueno, sitting in middle position, raised to 80,000, and Chatzopoulos went all-in. Bueno snap-called.

Apostolos Chatzopoulos: 7♠5♣ All in
Patrick Bueno: K♠Q♣

This time, it was Bueno’s turn to hold K♠Q♣, and the board ran out A♥K♣4♦10♥J♣. Chatzopoulos couldn’t find the miracle he needed, and with that, his tournament run came to an abrupt end.

Level 21 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Luc Ramos and Emil Bise were heads-up on a flop of 8♠3♠4♦ when Ramos got his last 720,000 in the middle from under the gun and Bise put him at risk in the hijack.

Luc Ramos: 9♠9♥ All in
Emil Bise: A♥8♥

Ramos was ahead with his pair of nines against Bise's top pair, while the rest of the board came 7♦7♠ to earn Ramos a double up off the two-time WSOP bracelet winner.

Level 21 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Mark Huelk raised the hijack to 65,000 and Presiyan Tsvetanov shoved the small blind. Once the big blind folded, Huelk called off his stack of 540,000.

Mark Huelk: A♥K♠ All in
Presiyan Tsvetanov: 7♠7♥

It was a flip that Huelk needed to win, and he got off to a good start after the K♣4♥2♠ improved him to top pair. Neither the 5♥ turn nor 5♠ river changed the outcome of the hand, and Huelk doubled up.

Level 21 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Axel Bayout was down to 160,000 and moved all in from early position as action folded to Milad Izadmousa who snap-called in the big blind.

Axel Bayout: K♦7♥ All in
Milad Izadmousa: 8♦8♥

Izadmousa was ahead with his pair as the flop came 7♣6♥4♠. Bayout made top pair but improved no further on the 4♥ turn and J♥ river on his way to the payout desk.

Bayout's elimination brought the field under 100 players remaining.

Level 21 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Sebastien Lucina raised to 60,000 and Asher Dahan three-bet to 180,000 from the button. Ioannis Kyriakopoulos then four-bet shoved from the small blind for 440,000. Lucian folded but Dahan sheepishly called.

Ioannis Kyriakopoulos: 6♣6♦ All in
Asher Dahan: J♦10♣

Dahan had been caught with his hand in the cookie jar, but still was in a flip against Kyriakopoulos' pocket sixes. The runout of 8♠5♠7♣9♦A♠ left Kyriakopoulos drawing dead on the turn as Dahan hit a straight.

Level 21 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

With roughly 500,000 in the pot on a board of 8♣7♣10♥J♦, Dietzinger had bet 200,000 from the big blind before Bogdan Tilica shoved all in from under the gun. The shove was for Dietzinger's remaining 450,000.

Dietzinger went deep into the take and thought for so long that a tablemate called the clock. When the floor staff counted all the way down to two seconds, Dietzinger called.

Uwe Dietzinger: J♣J♥ All in
Bogdan Tilica: 9♦7♦

Dietzinger had top set of jacks but was behind to the turned straight of Tilica. Dietzinger couldn't fill up on the K♣ river and all of his chips were sent over to Tilica.

Sarnow's Limping Strategy Pays Off Against Di Giacomo

Kai Cocklin

Level 21 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Florian Sarnow limped from under the gun and Claudio Di Giacomo made it 120,000 from the hijack. When it got back to Sarnow, he called.

The two saw a flop of Q♦7♣5♦ where Sarnow checked, and Di Giacomo fired 110,000. Sarnow then put in raising chips, but it wasn't quite enough so he was forced to put in the extra to make it 220,000. Di Giacomo called.

Both then checked to showdown on the 10♠ turn and 5♣ river where Sarnow showed Q♣J♣ for a pair of queens, and Di Giacomo mucked his hand.
