Nível 8 : Blinds 0/0, 1,000 ante

The pot stood at 13,000 with just Alex Epstein and Roland Israelashvili looking at a full board that read J♥K♣7♥8♦J♦.

Israelashvili, in early position, checked the action to Epstein on the button who put out a bet of 7,000. Israelashvili announced "It's never a bluff!" but proceed to pay the price to see Epstein's cards.

"Ten high" Epstein announced. Israelashvili tabled K♥Q♠ to take down the pot.

The very next hand Israelashvili limped in from under the gun. In the cutoff, Epstein raised to 20,000 which forced Israelashvili to fold.

"It's never a bluff," Epstein laughed as he claimed the pot and mucked his cards.

Action folded around to Adam Friedman who called from the cutoff. The button, who had Friedman slightly covered, announced all in.

"Wow. I was going to raise all in" Friedman said. "I still might call it off".

After about 40 seconds Friedman made the call and was at risk.

Adam Friedman A♥J♦
Cutoff: A♠Q♥

Friedman was behind with the weaker ace but rivered a flush on the A♦7♥9♦10♦K♦ run out to receive a healthy double up while leaving his opponent short-stacked.

Meanwhile at another table, Yuri Dzivielevski was eliminated from the tournament.

A player from the hijack opened to 8,000 and received calls from a player in the cutoff and Thomas Kysar on the button.

The flop came J♣10♠9♣. The hijack checked, the cutoff bet 20,000 and Kysar moved all in with a covering stack. The hijack got out of the way and the cutoff made the call, putting himself at risk.

Cutoff: J♠10♦
Thomas Kysar: K♠Q♠

Thomas Kysar had flopped the nut-straight but still had to fade several outs to a full house from his opponent. The 7♦ turn and K♥ river were clean for Kysar who added more chips to his stack while his opponent was sent to the rail.
