A player in early position raised to 4,000 and Daniel Bourdon called before Louis Nyberg pushed all in for about 50,000. The initial raiser folded by Bourdon called.
Nyberg: ![]()
![]()
Bourdon: ![]()
![]()
The board ran out ![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
and Nyberg paid the double-up, finding out that they two were almost perfectly even in stacks. Nyberg was left with just 500 chips. He got them all in on the next hand and won the hand to collect a few more chips, but lost them all on the hand after that.

We caught the action on the river with the board reading ![]()
![]()
![]()
and a sizable amount of chips already in the center of the table.
Sitting in the cutoff Esenkulov has a bet totaling roughly 12,500 or so out on the felt and is facing an all-in from button Qifeng Duan.
“Will you fold if I show?” quizzed Esenkulov.
“Hmm, ok you did show me you had queens earlier,” replied Duan.
“I’m going to fold this then,” said Esenkulov, rolling over ![]()
for a small heart flush. The rest of the table looked perplexed until Duan obligingly turned over ![]()
.
“Nice fold man,” said Duan as he raked in the pot.
That canny fold saved the Russian a hell of a lot of chips – many players would have happily called off there but then it’s just like Kenny Rogers says (or sings) poker is all about knowing when to hold’em and knowing when to fold’em.

We were late to the action but arrived to catch Michael Egan's stack being counted. Egan had ![]()
in front of him and across the table was the ![]()
of his opponent's. In between them was a ![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
board which Egan had the best of.
Egan's all-in was for about 86,000, doubling up to almost 190,000.
The very next hand, Egan called an under-the-gun open to 3,500 from Shyngis Satubayev, which was also called by the player in the big blind.
The flop came ![]()
![]()
and Satubayev continued for 4,500. Just Egan called. The turn brought the

The river was the

We caught the action on the river in a sizable pot that had developed between Russia’s Egor Bulychev and Finland’s Paul Vehvilainen.
There was already close to 60,000 in the pot with the community cards reading ![]()
![]()
![]()
Vehvilainen was facing down a Bulychev shove of 67,400.
The Fin tanked long and hard but eventually decided discretion is the better part of valor and grudgingly found the fold. Vehvilainen dropped some but still had a very respectable stack of 165,000 while Bulychev chipped up to 127,000.

We caught the action on a flop of ![]()
![]()
with over 18,000 in the pot just as Loo led out for 5,500 from the small blind. Huang, sitting in middle position, thought it over before sliding in the call and the dealer burned and turned the

Loo took his time over the decision but decided to fire twice, leading out for a slightly larger 11,200. Huang looked pained by his decision but elected to let it go and the pot was shipped Loo’s way.
