Badziakouski Eliminated, Dimov Scoops Big Side Pot

Nível 6 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

With Mikita Badziakouski being forced all-in in the small blind, Ognyan Dimov raised it to 6,000 from under the gun. Gha Iakobishvili then three-bet to 18,000 and Dimov made the call once the action folded back to him.

On the 8♠4♦7♣ flop, Dimov checked and Iakobishvili put out a small bet of 10,000. Dimov then responded with a raise to 40,000 and Iakobishvili put in the extra chips.

The 2♦ turn was then dealt and Dimov downsized his bet to 30,000, receiving another call from Iakobishvili. Dimov again lessened his bet on the 8♥ river, this time putting 27,000 chips in the middle.

Iakobishvili had enough of his opponent's antics and made a raise to 125,000 but was met with an all-in three-bet moments later. Iakobishvili quickly folded his A♣3♣ face-up, and Dimov won both main and side pots with 4♥4♣ for a full house when Badziakouski could only come up with 5♣2♣ for bottom pair.

Badziakouski Left on Fumes

Nível 6 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

The pot amounted to roughly 35,000 chips when Mikita Badziakouski checked on the board of 3♠7♥5♠A♦ from the big blind. Maher Nouira sat on the button and threw in a T-25,000 chip for a bet of an unknown amount. Badziakouski then raised to 35,000 and Nouira made the call.

The Q♠ river completed the board and Badziakouski put in a bet of 31,500, leaving himself only 500 chips behind. Nouira made the call, and Badziakouski swiftly returned his cards face-down to the dealer to forfeit the pot.

Martirosian Five-Bets and Busts

Nível 6 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

The action folded to Albert Daher on the button, who made a raise to 6,000. Artur Martirosian then reraised to 27,000 from the small blind before Daher put in the four-bet to 68,000.

Playing around 200,000 chips, Martirosian used a time bank extension before announcing his all-in, quickly getting called by his opponent, who had the covering stack.

Artur Martirosian: K♦Q♠
Albert Daher: A♥K♣

Martirosian's daring bluff seemed to work out when he flopped two pair on J♣K♥Q♣, but the 10♠ saw Daher turn a straight. The 9♣ river changed nothing and Martirosian busted his second bullet of the EPT Cyprus Super High Roller.

Ognyan Dimov raised to 7,000 from the hijack and received calls from Maher Nouira on the button and Mikita Badziakouski in the big blind.

On the K♠8♠6♣ flop, Dimov continued for 6,000 after a check from Badziakouski and was met with a raise to 20,000 from Nouira. Badziakouski quickly got out of the way before Dimov made the call.

The turn fell the 9♥ and Dimov checked to Nouira, who put in a bet worth 45,000. Dimov stuck around with a call and the 3♣ river rolled off.

Both players now knuckled it down and Dimov showed A♥K♦ for top pair, top kicker. It was enough to win the pot as Nouira passed his cards to the dealer after rechecking them quickly.

The 6♠8♦Q♦ flop then checked through before Nouira led out for a sizable 28,000 on the 4♠ turn. Ponakovs sighed and folded, but Dimov stuck around with a call.

When the 10♠ river completed the board, both players checked again, leading Nouira to table 10♦9♥ and his rivered pair took down the pot.
