Zarbo Runs Into Wang's Kings

David Salituro

Level 8 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Giuseppe Zarbo and Yuhan Wang were heads-up on the turn with the board showing 4♥10♣J♣J♠ with around 30,000 in the pot when Zarbo bet 20,000 from the big blind. Wang then moved all in, and Zarbo called for his last 50,000.

Zarbo showed 6♣2♣ for a flush draw and needed to improve against Wang's K♦K♥, but the A♠ river was no help and he was sent to the rail.

Level 8 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Bastian Gallitzendoerfer raised to 3,500 in middle position and Michail Manolakis called in the cutoff. Tim van de Riet then three-bet to 18,000 in the big blind, and only Gallitzendoerfer called.

Van de Riet checked the 8♠7♠6♣ flop and Gallitzendoerfer bet 30,000. Van de Riet then moved all in for 130,000, and Gallitzendoerfer snap-called.

Tim van de Riet: Q♠Q♦ All in
Bastian Gallitzendoerfer: 5♦4♦

Van de Riet showed two queens, but Gallitzendoerfer had flopped a straight. The 2♠ turn gave Van de Riet some hope with a flush draw, but he missed the 9♥ river and was sent to the rail.

Level 8 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

A chunky pot of around 84,000 had developed by the river, on a board of A♥10♥5♠4♠10♦, in a hand between Giuseppe Pitruzzella in early position and Marco Bognanni in the small blind.

Bognanni led out with a bet of 40,000, covering Pitruzzella's remaining stack of 30,000, and he went into the tank.

After around three minutes, and when fold seemed the most likely outcome, Pitruzzella suddenly shipped his chips into the middle.

Bognanni tabled A♦10♣ for the full house, and Pitruzzella threw his hands up in frustration as he tabled A♠7♠.

Level 8 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

On the turn of a board showing 9♠10♦Q♦5♣, Claudio Cecchi jammed from the big blind and Lukas Pazma snap-called from under the gun.

Claudio Cecchi: A♣A♠ All in
Lukas Pazma: 10♥10♣

Cecchi held pocket aces, but Pazma's flopped set of tens had Cecchi needing to hit a two-outer on the river to survive.

Cecchi was already out of his seat as the 9♣ completed the board, upgrading Pazma to a boat. Cecchi headed for the exit and Pazma's stack increased to over 400,000.

Level 8 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

The rest of the field had already cleared the room during the break while Boris Kuzmanovic and Rene Majed continued to tangle in a pot.

With around 60,000 in the pot on a board of J♥2♥9♥4♦7♦, Kuzmanovic moved all in from the button, sending Majed deep into the tank. Several minutes went by before he called for 152,000 in the big blind.

"Flush," Kuzmanovic said, turning over 8♥7♥. Majed sent 10♥10♣ into the muck as he made his exit, while Kuzmanovic raked in the big pot that extended more than 10 minutes into the break.

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Jose Scarano raised to 4,500 in the cutoff and Iman Ghashayar called on the button. Petr Svoboda then moved all in for 26,000 in the small blind and Cheng Zhao called in the big blind, while Scarano and Ghashayar folded.

Petr Svoboda: 5♠5♣ All in
Cheng Zhao: 10♥10♣

Svoboda found himself dominated by Zhao's tens, and the A♠Q♦K♥7♠10♠ board offered no help as Zhao improved to a set to send Svoboda to the rail.

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

David Taborsky made it 4,500 under the gun and Sirzat Hissou shoved for 29,000 from middle position. Taborsky called when the action got back to him.

Sirzat Hissou: Q♣J♣ All in
David Taborsky: K♣K♦

Hissou needed a miracle runout to beat the cowboys of Taborsky. Unfortunately for Hissou, there was no miracle on the A♠9♥2♣3♦Q♥ board, as Taborsky's pocket kings held up and Hissou was sent to the rail.
