De Michele Takes From Volkov

Tim Baker

Level 14 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Iisakki Ullakonoja opened to 10,000 under the gun with Ruslan Volkov and Alessandro De Michele calling out of the blinds.

Volkov checked the 10♠10♣6♦ flop before De Michele led out for 16,000. Ullakonoja folded, but Volkov called.

Both players checked the 2♠ turn for 3♠ to come on the river. Volkov bet 30,000 and De Michele called.

Volkov turned over A♠8♠XxXx for a flush and lost the pot to K♠Q♠6♠6♥ of De Michele for a flopped boat.

Level 14 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Jorge Ufano tossed in a bet of 30,000 on a flop of 2♥10♠7♣ from the big blind and was called by Dorel Eldabach in early position and Dennis Weiss in middle position.

Ufano had 5,500 chips left, which he committed on the 6♥ turn. Both his opponents called to the 9♦ river, where Eldabach checked.

Weiss then bet 30,000 and received a quick fold from Eldabach. Ufano showed 9♣8♠4♦4♣ for a straight to the ten, but the river had given Weiss a better straight with his A♥J♣10♣8♦.

Ufano booked a late departure while Weiss chipped up to more than double the average on this deep-stacked table.

Player	Chips	Progress
Dennis Weiss	465,000 305,600	305,600

Dorel Eldabach	390,000 60,000	60,000

Level 14 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

With the board reading J♥A♥8♦3♣, Jorge Ufano bet 18,000 and was check-raised to 79,500 by Simeon Tsonev. The raise sent Ufano deep into the tank before a tablemate called the clock. The floor staff counted down until Ufano had one second remaining before he announced call, and slid in the chips.

Upon seeing the J♣ hit the river, Tsonev bet 45,000 which was for all of Ufano's remaining chips. Yet again, the bet sent Ufano deep into the tank. Ultimately after around two minutes, Ufano reluctantly folded and Tsonev pulled in the pot.

Level 14 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Rostyslav Sabishchenko made a raise to 9,000 in middle position, being called by Tamazi Skhirtladze in the small blind.

Big blind Pavel Izotov then made it 36,000, only to be faced with a four-bet from Sabishchenko, putting both of his opponents all-in.

Skhirtladze quickly folded before Izotov committed his stack of 61,000.

Pavel Izotov: A♠A♥10♦2♥ All in
Rostyslav Sabishchenko: K♠K♥7♣9♣

Izotov's aces held a solid lead, that was until the K♣Q♦Q♣ flop brought Sabishchenko a full house. Neither the 4♥ turn not 5♥ river gave Izotov the ace he needed to survive, and he headed into the late Czechian night.

Player	Chips	Progress
Rostyslav Sabishchenko	210,000 115,000	115,000
Tamazi Skhirtladze	60,000 10,000	10,000

Power of Knowledge Exterminates Magott

Frank Visser

Level 14 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

In a modest pot of roughly 20,000 chips, enough raises went in on a flop of 6♥7♠3♣ between Krzysztof Magott in the big blind and Dorel Eldabach on the button for the former to be all-in for roughly 150,000.

Krzysztof Magott: 7♥6♣5♥2♠ All in
Dorel Eldabach: J♦8♠7♣6♦

Both players got it in with the same two pair, however, Eldabach would make a better one when the 9♦J♠ runout saw him make jacks and sevens.

Magott amicably said his goodbyes to his former tablemates while Magott only had one word to say: "Knowledge."

Di Persio Doubles With Quads vs Sandford's Full House

Tim Baker

Level 13 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Marco Di Persio just told PokerNews about a huge hand he just played against his neighbor George Sandford.

Sandford raised under the gun to 7,000 and Di Persio defended from the big blind.

Di Persio check-called a bet of 8,000 from Sandford on the J♦7♥7♦ flop.

The Q♥ came on the turn and Di Persio check-called another bet from Sandford, this time for 22,500.

Di Persio led out for 52,000 when the flush completing 4♦ hit the river. Sandford shoved for Di Persio's remaining 80,000 and Di Persio snap-called.

Sandford flipped over A♦JxJx10x for a flopped boat, jacks full of sevens. However, he was second best to the 9x7♣7♠6x of Di Persio for quad sevens.

Player	Chips	Progress
Marco Di Persio	340,000 340,000	340,000
George Sandford	220,000 165,000	165,000

Level 13 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Thomas Eychenne checked from the big blind to Hokyiu Lee in middle position. Lee then fired a bet of 40,000 on the turn of K♥7♠10♥5♣, which Eychenne called.

The A♥ river slowed down both players and the hand was consequently checked down. Eychenne sheepishly showed Kx10x, upon which Lee tabled K♠K♣9♠7♦ for the winning set of kings.

Hokyiu Lee	435,000 58,000	58,000

Singer Shoves on Lehto

Level 13 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Emanuel Singer raised to 8,000 in early position before being three-bet to 30,000 by Kai Lehto in the hijack.

Singer thought for some time before electing to call. The flop was spread K♠10♣7♦. Singer again took some time before he announced a pot-sized bet of 64,500.

That was almost enough to put Lehto all-in. Lehto mulled it over but eventually mucked his cards as he left himself with just over 20 big blinds.

Emanuel Singer	330,000 280,000	280,000
