Volzhan Shoots Over Half a Million, Tan Down to Ten Bigs

Kai Cocklin

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

Maurice Tan from the button and Edwin Volzhan in the small blind got into a preflop-raising war, which ended in the two getting their stacks into the middle with the latter being the at-risk player for around 250,000.

Edwin Volzhan: Q♦Q♣ All in
Maurice Tan: J♥J♣

Tan was way behind and couldn't catch up as the runout of 3♦K♣8♠6♥10♦ kept the pocket queens of Volzhan in the lead.

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

Cedric Renno had gone all in for 66,000 in the small blind and was called by Luciano Frezza in early positon and Ilie Smintanca-Januszewski in the cutoff.

Frezza then shoved on the 3♥Q♠10♠ flop, covering Smintanca-Januszewski's 155,000 chips. He quickly folded his cards, leading to a showdown.

Cedric Renno: 8♠8♣ All in
Luciano Frezza: K♣Q♦

Frezza had flopped top pair and had a big lead over Renno's eights. The 5♠ turn and A♣ river did not help Renno, who quickly departed the tournament area.

Kai Cocklin

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

Dragos Gordin had shoved from early position for around 130,000 and was put at risk by Nicolas Courbin on the button.

Dragos Gordin: A♠A♣ All in
Nicolas Courbin: 9♥9♦

The board produced a sweat as Courbin picked up both straight and flush draws on the turn, but the river bricked on the 6♦K♥8♦5♦Q♥ runout, which earned Gordin his double-up.
