Bibov's a Non-Believer

Calum Grant

Level 30 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

The cameras panned over to Chris Hunichen's table where he was in a blind on blind battle with Nikolay Bibov.

In a limped pot to the 9♦6♦4♥ flop, Bibov J♥2♥ checked in the small blind and Hunichen J♠3♦ checked back from the big blind.

Bibov paired up on the 2♦ turn, and check-called for 400,000. The 9♣ completed the board and Bibov checked once more. Hunichen sized up to 1,200,000 with his air-ball, but failed to get Bibov out of the pot, as the Bulgarian flicked in a chip to call to win the hand.

Thomas Eychenne: Q♣4♥ All in
Brandon Sheils: A♦J♣

Eychenne mistimed his all-in but was rewarded on the K♣Q♠7♠ flop to move out in front. Sheils picked up some extra outs after finding a jack on the J♦ turn but the 8♦ river confirmed Eychenne's double-up.

Sonny Franco: J♣10♠ All in
Lazare Kalebashvili: A♣Q♠

Kalebashvili flopped the best pair. The 5♥3♦ runout didn't help Franco who was sent to the rail.
