Di Persio Wins a Flip the Hard Way

David Salituro

Level 23 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Marco Di Persio limped in from the small blind, Murilo Garcia shoved in the big blind, and Di Persio snap-called for 775,000.

Marco Di Persio: A♥Q♣ All in
Murilo Garcia: 2♥2♣

The flop came 7♥10♣3♦, while the 10♠ turn gave Di Persio additional outs to counterfeit Garcia's pair. The 3♥ fell on the river to put two pair on the board, and Di Persio's ace-kicker played to earn him a double up.

Level 23 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Catalin Pop bet 80,000 from middle position on a flop of K♣A♥6♠ and Gerald Karlic called on the button.

The turn was the 9♠ and Pop bet 275,000. Karlic again called and the J♦ fell on the river. Pop then bet 425,000, and Karlic called once more.

Pop showed A♦J♠ for two pair, and Karlic mucked.

"Lucky river. You play very well. I see no mistakes from you so far. There's room for you at the final table," Martin Kabrhel told him.

"I'll take it," Pop replied.

"Sorry, no spots for you," Kabrhel added to Michail Manolakis.

Level 23 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Jonas Lauck raised it up to 100,000 and was called only by Szabolcs Kukucska in the big blind. On the A♠Q♠5♦ flop, Kukucska check-called for 60,000 and then checked the 2♦ turn. Lauck bet another 130,000 and that won the pot right there.

Dimitrios Gkatzas opened to 100,000 only for Max Neugebauer to three-bet to 240,000 in the next seat. All other players folded back to Gkatzas who quickly called. Gkatzas check-called the J♥8♣7♥ flop for 125,000 and the 9♦ turn was checked. With the 10♠ river, there was a straight on the board and Gkatzas checked again.

Neugebauer moved all-in and Gkatzas folded.

Dimitrios Gkatzas raised to 100,000 from the cutoff and only Alberto Speranzoni came along with a call from the big blind.

Speranzoni check-called a bet of 75,000 from Gkatzas on the K♠J♦4♥ flop.

The 4♦ turn checked through to see the 6♦ complete the board. Speranzoni slid out a bet of 170,000, which got Gkatzas to fold.

Claudio Di Giacomo bet 160,000 from under the gun on a flop of J♣10♠5♠ and Daniel Pidun called in the hijack.

The turn was the 2♥ Di Giacomo checked to Pidun, who bet 225,000. Di Giacomo called to see the 6♠ river and checked again, and Pidun bet 650,000. Di Giacomo quickly called.

Pidun showed A♠3♠ for the rivered nut flush, and Di Giacomo flashed the J♠ as he mucked. Pidun gave the dealer a thankful pat on the back as the big pot was pushed in his direction.

Level 23 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Bastian Gallitzendoerfer raised to 110,000 from early position and Yuhan Wang three-bet the big blind to 400,000. Gallitzendoerfer four-bet to 1,010,000, and Wang five-bet jammed for 2,635,000. Gallitzendoerfer called after a short tank, and the cards were revealed.

Yuhan Wang: Q♠Q♥ All in
Bastian Gallitzendoerfer: A♦K♠

It was a flip for over five million that Wang had to win to survive. Gallitzendoerfer took the lead on the 10♠7♦A♥ flop by drilling a pair of aces. Wang couldn't find a queen on the 2♠ turn or K♥ river, and all of Wang's chips headed over to Gallitzendoerfer.

Serkan Kuru opted to open shove for 895,000 on the button and Martin Kabrhel in the small blind asked for a count.

"That is a large bet," Kabrhel said and Kuru replied "you have to double me up" before Kabrhel declared the call a few seconds later.

Serkan Kuru: A♠J♠ All in
Martin Kabrhel: A♣Q♣

The A♦9♣5♣ flop left Kuru on thin ice and he was drawing dead on the 8♣ turn to make the 8♠ river a formality, ending his run in 29th place for €35,600.

Level 23 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Catalin Pop had just moved tables and took his new seat in the big blind as Vlastimil Pustina opened to 100,000 in middle position. Pop called and the flop came 6♦5♣4♦.

Pop then led out for 65,000, Pustina moved all in for 510,000, and Pop snap-called.

Vlastimil Pustina: Q♣Q♦ All in
Catalin Pop: 8♦7♦

"You arrived just in time," tablemate Martin Kabrhel said as Pop showed a flopped straight and flush draw. The 6♠ turn gave Pustina some outs, but he missed the 2♠ river and was sent to the rail.

"One, two, three, four for the final table," Kabrhel said, pointing at himself, Serkan Kuru, Robert Anshelm, and Gerald Karlic. "Sorry Alex, you were unable to bust Vlasta," he added, leaving out Aliaksandr Shylko.

"I tried my best," Shylko replied.
