Syzghanov Three-Bet Folds

Richard Hayes

Level 20 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Pierre Calamusa opened to 20,000 from early position, and was met with a three-bet to 62,000 from Yakiv Syzghanov on the button.

Action folded back to Calamusa, who promptly four-bet jammed for around 325,000 total. Szyghanov's cards had hit the muck almost before Calamusa's chips reached the middle of the table.

Pierre Calamusa	405,000 95,000	95,000

Level 20 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Radek Grill was all-in for 150,000 and at risk in a battle of the blinds with Leonardo Ludovisi.

Radek Grill: A♠Q♥ All in
Leonardo Ludovisi: K♠K♣

Grill was in trouble with a single overcard, and was flopped dead after Ludovisi hit quads on K♦K♥9♦, the Q♠ turn and 5♣ river completing the runout.

Level 20 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Antonello Ferraiuolo shoved 116,000 from under the gun and Shaun Deeb called in the cutoff.

Antonello Ferraiuolo: 8♦8♣ All in
Shaun Deeb: A♣K♥

Ferraiuolo was flipping for his tournament life, but it seemed his hot run was about to melt as his snowmen fell behind on the 3♣A♦6♣ flop after Deeb paired his ace. No eights were in sight on the 4♠K♦ runout, and Ferraiuolo hit the rail.

Level 20 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Lukas Timko opened to 20,000 from the hijack, and was met with a three-bet to 70,000 from Ian Simpson in the cutoff.

Michael Sklenicka was in the small blind, and he took a bit of time for thought, before four-bet jamming for 281,000. Timko called with the slightly covering stack, and Simpson folded.

Michael Sklenicka: Q♣Q♦ All in
Lukas Timko: A♦K♦

Sklenicka was ahead in the classic race, but the king was in the window on the K♠J♣J♦ flop. Sklenicka could not find a two-outer on the 3♥ turn or J♠ river, and he gave his opponent a fist bump and wished the table well as he departed.

Lukas Timko	690,000 504,500	504,500

Ian Simpson	170,000 13,000	13,000

Suhr Doubles With Queens

Kai Cocklin

Level 20 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Jan Wagner shoved from the small blind and Klaus Suhr quickly called in the big blind for his stack of 102,000.

Klaus Suhr: Q♥Q♣ All in
Jan Wagner: K♣2♣

Suhr had picked up a monster in the big blind, but did need to be wary as Wagner held an overcard. The flop of 3♦A♣A♠ was safe for Suhr, but the 6♣ turn gave Wagner some hope with a flush draw.

However, the 6♦ river was a brick, and Suhr doubled up.

Player	Chips	Progress
Fabio Peluso	420,000 44,500	44,500

Claudiu Descultu	290,000 98,000	98,000
Dennis Schaefer	240,000 90,500	90,500
Klaus Suhr	215,000 145,000	145,000
Mario Vojvoda	170,000 21,500	21,500

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

Life Outside Poker is a podcast for PokerNews hosted by Connor Richards that seeks to pull back the curtain on poker players and allow viewers and listeners to get to know them on a personal level.

In the 34th episode, Connor talks with WSOP free-to-play app ambassador Sam Abernathy about growing up in Georgia, studying design, the similarities between gymnastics and poker, finishing third in the 2016 Aussie Millions Main Event, and a notorious slow roll she suffered in that event.

Abernathy also talks about first getting into poker through the WSOP Play app before becoming an ambassador years later, motherhood and being married to fellow poker player Lautaro Guerra, who finished 15th in this year's WSOP Main Event for $450,000.
