Nível 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Armin Rezaei bet 45,000 on a board of K♠J♣2♥Q♥ from under the gun and Adrian Mateos called in the big blind.

The river came the Q♦ and Rezaei fired out another 100,000. Mateos this time gave up his hand.

A few hands later, Mateos was in the cutoff on a flop of 7♥9♦10♣ and bet 16,000. Masato Yokosawa called in the big blind and the 3♣ fell on the turn.

Both players checked to the 7♣ river, where Mateos bet 120,000. Yokosawa called, and Mateos showed A♣5♣ for the running flush and Yokosawa mucked.

High Roller on Stone Bubble as Lybaert Departs

Nível 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Ilia Pavlov raised to 13,000 from the hijack before Alex Keating moved all in for 81,000 on the button. Bart Lybaert called all in for 72,000 and Pavlov mucked.

"I have one gin and tonic and I'm all in. I'm such a degen," Lybaert said as they waited for action on the rest of the tables to finish before showing their cards.

"What are you guys all here for," Keating joked as a crowd gathered around the table. "I deserve to bubble. I haven't bubbled in a long time," Keating added.

Bart Lybaert: A♦K♣
Alex Keating: A♣Q♥

It was looking good for Lybaert, but the 8♥2♥Q♠ flop spelled disaster for him. The 7♣ turn and the 10♦ river could not save him and he was eliminated two spots before the money, meaning that the field had arrived at the stone bubble with 56 players remaining.

Nível 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Armin Rezaei raised to 15,000 on the button and Masato Yokosawa called in the big blind.

The flop came Q♣6♠J♣ and Rezaei continued for 10,000. Yokosawa called to the 10♦ turn, where Rezaei bet another 65,000.

Yokosawa again called and the 5♠ fell on the river. He checked over to Rezaei for a third time, and Rezaei then moved all in, having Yokosawa's remaining 115,000 covered.

Yokosawa burned through four time banks before sticking in his last chips, showing J♠9♦ for a pair of jacks. Rezaei flashed 4♥4♠ before mucking as Yokosawa doubled up on the money bubble.

Blind Versus Blind Bubble Battle

Nível 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

The action folded all the way to Dario Sammartino in the small blind who opened to 22,000. Jovan Kenjic was in the big blind and called.

The 4♠6♠10♣ flop hit the felt and Sammartino continued for 14,000. Kenjic called again.

The 6♦ landed on the turn and Sammartino didn't slow down with a bet of 45,000. Kenjic called again.

The Q♦ river landed and right on time, Sammartino bet again for 150,000 which all but covered Kenjic. He sat in the tank for a moment but eventually folded and Sammartino scooped.

Nível 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Kanan Taherkhani opened to 13,000 from under the gun, and Pablo Silva called in the big blind.

The dealer fanned a flop of A♥2♦8♥ and Taherkhani made a continuation bet of 15,000. Silva called, then both players checked on the turn 7♦.

The J♦ came on the river and Taherkhani checked, so Silva was free to bet 55,000. Taherkhani eventually folded.

Aces for Diaz

Nível 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

In a blind-on-blind battle between Martin Diaz and Alex Keating, the latter had raised to 25,000 from the big blind after a limp from Diaz. Diaz then three-bet to 100,000 before Keating four-bet jammed, covering Diaz's 318,000 chips. Diaz called quicker than lightning and the cards were tabled.

Martin Diaz: A♦A♣
Alex Keating: 2♥2♦

The flop brought a big sweat when 10♥7♥9♠Q♥ rolled off, but the K♠ river did not complete Keating's flush draw. Much to the relief of Diaz, his aces held up as he soared up the leaderboard and received a stack of double the average.

Silva Wins It on the River

Nível 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

A flop 9♣10♠Q♥ was fanned out in a 75,000 pot between Pablo Silva and Viktor Ustimov. Silva bet 16,000 from the hijack and Ustimov made the call from the cutoff.

The 2♣ turn saw Silva increase his sizing to 35,000, and another call followed from Ustimov. When the Q♠ river hit the felt, Silva jammed all in for 120,000 and sent Ustimov into the tank. After a bit of thought, Ustimov opted to let his hand go, granting the significant pot to Silva.

Talbot Makes Straight Flush to Double Up

Nível 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Parker Talbot committed his final 20,000 chips preflop and only Viacheslav Goryachev made the call.

Parker Talbot: 9♣9♦
Viacheslav Goryachev: 7♠7♥

It was looking good for Talbot, and even better when the J♦8♦10♦ flop was dealt. The Q♦ turn saw Talbot hit a straight flush, and the A♥ river was but a formality.

Talbot doubled up to around 12 big blinds.

Sammartino Makes a Reluctant Call

Nível 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Dario Sammartino and Viacheslav Goryachev were heads up to the turn on 10♦9♠J♠3♣. Sammartino bet 21,000 chips into the pot of 40,000 from the big blind before Goryachev raised it to 51,000. Sammartino made the call and the Q♣ river rolled off.

Sammartino now checked and Goryachev asked him how much he had behind. After receiving the answer of 130,000, Goryachev bet out 50,000. Sammartino spent some time in the tank, shook his head, but eventually called with a big sigh.

"You're good," claimed Goryachev, who tabled A♠4♠ for a missed flush draw. Meanwhile, Sammartino had the bottom end of the straight with Q♠8♦.

"Did you like the river?" jokingly asked Parker Talbot, who was down to just nine big blinds after "torching off half his stack to a man with the nuts," leading to some chuckling at the table.

Kenjic Makes Another Wrong Decision

Nível 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Jovan Kenjic and Dario Sammartino had created a 90,000 pot when the turn was dealt on J♦9♥2♠5♥. Kenjic checked from the big blind and eventually called the subsequent 18,000 bet from Sammartino on the button.

The J♣ river then completed the board and Kenjic opted for another check. Sammartino put his opponent all in without much delay, causing visible despair in Kenjic. Eventually, he folded his cards, keeping his stack of 26,000 chips.

On Parker Talbot's request, Kenjic was allowed to pick one card of Sammartino's holding, after which the 6♣ was revealed. Laughter ensued on the table while Kenjic claimed to have "picked every wrong option so far" with a grimace on his face.
