Pustina Hits the River He Wanted

Level 31 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Vlastimil Pustina jammed for 1,575,000 from the small blind. Alkiviadis Stamatis in the big blind asked for the count and called.

Vlastimil Pustina: A9 All in
Alkiviadis Stamatis: 97

Stamatis flopped a pair on K67 to take the lead. "Ace, ace," Pustina started to ask out loud. He wasn't heard on the K turn, but he luckily hit the A river to secure a double up.

Wheel-y Fortunate Turn Saves Wang from Elimination

Level 31 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Yuhan Wang
Yuhan Wang

Yuhan Wang completed from the small blind and Vlastimil Pustina made it 1,000,000 to go out of the big blind. Wang wasted no time in limp-jamming for 6,300,000. Pustina made the call after a few moments, and the cards were tabled.

Vlastimil Pustina: A10 All in
Yuhan Wang: Q5

Wang made a move with a suited queen, but ran into the ace-ten of Pustina. Pustina had been having a rough day and had the chance to get his stack back up to what he began the day with.

A flop of A43 put Pustina firmly in the lead with top pair, and Wang needed a deuce to survive. The dealer burned a card and delivered the 2 on the turn, giving Wang the wheel. A 6 completed the board to cement Wang's double-up at the expense of Pustina.

Two Pair for Ciolte

Level 31 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Calin Ciolte opened to 600,000 from under the gun and was only called by Gal Naim, who defended from the big blind.

Ciolte's continuation bet to 400,000 on the 996 flop was check-called by Naim, who checked the 8 turn. Ciolte checked back.

The 2 river completed the board and after Naim checked again, Ciolte bet 600,000. Naim called but lost to Ciolte's two pair with A8.

Zappala Makes Sfarlea Fold Top Pair

Level 31 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Francesco Zappala raised with AJ from the button to 600,000 and Dan Sfarlea called with QJ from the big blind.

Both caught a piece of the 10Q8 flop as Zappala picked up straight and flush draws, while Sfarlea had a gutshot with top pair. Sfarlea check-called a bet of 650,000 to the 7 turn, where he checked again. Zappala used some extra time before he bet 2,500,000.

Sfarlea thought for a while, then decided to fold his top pair.

They went to a flop of 729 and Elhaiany checked it over, then called a bet of 550,000 from Koleno. An A landed on the turn and after Elhaiany checked, Koleno fired another bet of 700,000. Elhaiany folded.

Calin Ciolte
Calin Ciolte

Besnik Aruqi opened the button to 700,000, and then folded when Calin Ciolte jammed out of the big blind for 2,475,000.

The next hand, Aruqi tried again with a raise to 600,000 from the cutoff. Ciolte stuck it all in again, this time for 3,525,000 out of the small blind, which forced Aruqi to fold for a second time.

Then, Gal Naim took his shot at stealing the blinds as he opened the cutoff to 600,000. Ciolte, for the third time on the trot, jammed for 4,725,000 from the button. Naim flashed an ace as he tossed his cards into the muck.

Ciolte more than doubled his stack from three hands, without having to see any community cards.

Hicham Aouraghe shoved for 2,725,000 from middle position and Christophe Vincent shoved the cutoff to isolate.

Hicham Aouraghe: 108 All in
Christophe Vincent: AQ

Aouraghe did have live cards, but didn't find any of them on the K26 flop. It was all over on the A turn as Vincent paired his ace, with an A on the river improving him to trips just for good measure.

Split Pot

Level 31 : 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Gal Naim opened to 600,000 from early position and faced Salih Atac who defended from the big blind.

Naim continued for 550,000 on a flop of 6106 and Atac check-called, then both players checked the 5 turn and the 9 river.

Atac first revealed A7. It took a few seconds for Naim to look at the board and eventually turn over A2 to split the pot.
