Tim Baker

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.

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

Tyson Strauss opened the cutoff to 4,000 and Bastian Gallitzendoerfer called on the button. Bartlomiej Muzacz called in the small blind, as did Michail Manolakis in the big blind.

On the 2♥7♠4♦ flop, the action checked to Strauss, who continued for 4,000. Gallitzendoerfer called, Muzacz folded, and Manolakis called.

A 2♦ hit the turn and after Manolakis checked, Strauss fired again, this time for 20,000. Gallitzendoerfer folded this time, but Manolakis made the call.

When the A♦ fell on the river, a third check came in from Manolakis, and then Strauss bet enough to put his opponent all in. With around 58,000 behind, Manolakis spent close to two minutes in the tank before he finally decided to let it go.

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

Tommaso Castellano opened to 4,000 under the gun, and received a call, before Martin Surovec three-bet jammed from the cutoff for 25,000.

Action folded back to Castellano, who four-bet to 50,000, forcing a fold from the caller.

Martin Surovec: A♥Q♣ All in
Tommaso Castellano: J♣J♥

It was a flip, and Surovec hit the front after the Q♦2♠2♥ flop.

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

Shaun Deeb made it 4,000 on the button with Zdenek Zizka calling from the small blind. Emilien Pitavy squeezed it up to 18,000 from the big blind, causing Deeb to four-bet to 45,000. Zizka folded, but Pitavy five-bet jammed for 150,500. Deeb snap-called with the covering stack.

Emilien Pitavy : A♥Q♥ All in
Shaun Deeb: A♦K♦

Pitavy was in rough shape with ace-queen against the big slick of Deeb and needed some hearts or a queen to survive.

The dealer fanned out a flop of Q♠5♠8♥, propelling Pitavy into the lead with top pair. Deeb picked up some extra outs in the form of a gutshot on the J♦ turn, but the 7♦ on the river was a brick.

Pitavy doubled to around 300,000, while Deeb was left with 75,000.
