Cieslik Pips Silva

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

A pot of around 96,000 had brewed on a board of 83263, in a hand between Giorgio Silva under the gun and Roman Cieslik on the button.

Silva fired out a bet of 84,000, and after quite a bit of deliberation, Cieslik called.

Silva tabled A8 for two pair, eights and threes, but he was pipped by Cieslik's 99.

Wilson Finds Superb Hero Call to Annihilate Ayguen

Level 18 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Simon Wilson
Simon Wilson

A pot of around 52,000 had developed by the flop of J84, in a hand between Simon Wilson in the hijack, Necat Ayguen on the button, and Giorgio Silva in the big blind.

Action was checked to Wilson, who fired out a bet of 16,000, which only Ayguen called.

The 8 turn paired the board, and Wilson barreled once more, sliding out a bet of 58,000. After around a minute of thought, Ayguen called.

The 7 river completed the board, and Wilson took a fair bit of time before checking. Ayguen swiftly jammed for 178,500, and Wilson, who was playing around 390,000 behind, went into the tank.

He stretched his arms above his head, cracked his knuckles, and studied the board. He then started swaying from side to side as he ran through the hand in his head.

Suddenly, a single calling chip went into the middle. Ayguen smiled wryly, and it was clear he didn't have much. He tabled A2 for air, and Wilson tabled 66 for the underpair to the board, for two pair, eights and sixes.

His table mates were astounded, and Wilson soaked up the applause of Silva and Roman Cieslik in particular.

Nanos Doubles With Aces

Level 18 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Konstantinos Nanos
Konstantinos Nanos

There was an open before Michal Schuh three-bet the cutoff to 36,000. Konstantinos Nanos was in the small blind and shoved 128,000, which got the initial raiser to fold. Schuh did some inventory of his stack and eventually made the call.

Konstantinos Nanos: AA All in
Michal Schuh: AJ

Schuh was way behind the aces of Nanos, but did see a way to victory as the QQ10 flop gave him a Broadway draw. However, no kings showed up on the 510 runout, which meant Nanos doubled up.

Calamusa Sends a Chunk of Chips Over to Klabisch

Level 18 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Pierre Calamusa
Pierre Calamusa

Mariusz Klabisch opened to 12,000 from early position and Leonardo Ludovisi called on the button. Pierre Calamusa then squeezed from the small blind to 55,000, which only Klabisch called.

Calamusa checked the 478 flop and Klabisch bet 30,000. Calamusa then shoved, and Klabisch took just a few seconds before he called off his stack of 301,000 total.

Mariusz Klabisch: 77 All in
Pierre Calamusa: QQ

Calamusa was behind to the flopped set of Klabisch, and couldn't find any help from the 610 runout, which meant he had to send over a chunk of his stack across the table.

Always An Ace for Motaban

Level 18 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Francisco Perez
Francisco Perez

A pot of 40,000 had developed on a flop of A94, in a hand between Francisco Motaban in early position and Roman Isaienko in the big blind.

The flop was checked to the 8 turn, which was also knuckled to the 9 river. Isaienko took a stab at the pot by leading out with a bet of 10,000, and Perez quickly called.

Isaienko tabled J7 for air, and Perez had KK for pocket kings, taking a nice pot control line.

Jalba Jams River

Level 18 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

A pot of around 110,000 had developed by the river, on a board of A76KJ, in a hand between Eusebiu Jalba in early position and Andre Winkler in the big blind.

Winkler checked, and after a pause for thought, Jalba jammed for around 70,000, leading to Winkler swiftly sending his cards to the muck.

He and Wilson Battle in the Blinds

Level 18 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Dong He opened the small blind to 18,000 and Simon Wilson called from the big blind.

The flop came KQ3 and He fired 13,000, which Wilson called to the 6 turn. Another bet came in from He, this time for 40,000, and again Wilson called.

When the 3 hit the river, both players took it to showdown and He showed A10 for a missed gutshot and ace-high. Wilson had that beat with a pair of kings holding K7, which meant he took the pot.
