Nível 14 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Alisa Sibgatova opened from middle position with a min-raise and Fahredin Mustafov three-bet the hijack. When it got back to Sibgatova, she called.

On the 2♦9♣6♦ flop, Sibgatova check-folded to a bet of 18,000 from Mustafov.

Depsite that small setback, Sibgatova still has a healthy chip stack of around 275,000 to work with, while Mustafov boosted his stack to around 160,000.

Nível 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Yassin Mahmoud with around 80,000, Aylar Lie with around 50,000, and Nemo Koering who covered them both all got their chips into the middle preflop.

Aylar Lie: A♦K♣ All in
Yassin Mahmoud: J♦10♦ All in
Nemo Koering: A♣Q♦

Mahmoud had just lost a big pot to Zhewen Hu earlier when he was caught bluffing the river, and the next hand his chips were in the middle trying to get them back. However, that became an impossible task when the A♠A♥6♣ flop hit the table, as he was drawing dead. The 6♦9♣ runout meant Lie and Koering chopped up the pot, which added some precious chips to each of their stacks.

Nível 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Oleg Ustinovich opened from early position to 8,000 and got a call from Danielle Noja before Zhewen Hu made it 28,000 out of the blinds. Ustinovich then shoved for around 50,000, Noja folded, and Hu called.

Oleg Ustinovich: 10♥10♣ All in
Zhewen Hu: A♥K♥

Ustinovich needed to win the flip to get back to starting stack, but got off to the worst start as the A♠5♠9♦ flop gave Hu top pair. A J♥ on the turn didn't offer much and Ustinovich was already up on his feet ready to depart. A 4♥ on the river locked up the pot for Hu, and send Ustinovich to the rail.

Michael Flips Out Bonnant

Nível 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Clement Bonnant opened to 10,000 and Angelos Michael three-bet to 25,000 from the next seat. When the action got back to Bonnant, he shoved for around 80,000, and Michael quickly called.

Clement Bonnant: A♠Q♦ All in
Angelos Michael: 9♣9♠

It was a classic coinflip where Michael kept his advantage after the 5♦K♠10♣ flop, but Bonnant did pick up some extra outs with a Broadway draw. A 4♦ turn changed nothing, and neither did the 6♣ river, which meant Bonnant was eliminated.

Koering Holds to Double Through Mahmoud

Nível 12 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

When PokerNews got to the table, Yassin Mahmoud had 9,000 in front of him on the button and Nemo Koering had shoved for just under 100,000 from the big blind. Mahmoud didn't need to think for too long and flicked in a call.

Nemo Koering: K♦J♥ All in
Yassin Mahmoud: Q♣7♣

Koering was only marginally ahead, but that changed when the flop came down 10♣A♥K♠, which gave him second pair. Mahmoud did have a gutshot, but he couldn't find it as the 3♣ turn and 9♥ river earned Koering a double-up.
