Nível 30 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Claudio Di Giacomo raised to 350,000 under the gun, Tomasz Kozub three-bet to 900,000 on the button, and Di Giacomo moved all in for 935,000. Kozub called for an additional 35,000.

Claudio Di Giacomo: A♠7♦6♠3♥ All in
Tomasz Kozub: A♥K♦J♥9♦

The K♥9♥5♠ flop gave Kozub top two pair and a flush draw, while Di Giacomo was looking to complete a straight draw. The 5♣ turn was no help to Di Giacomo, while the river was the 5♦ as Di Giacomo graciously slid his chips over to Kozub and gave him a fist bump on his way to the exit as the fourth-place finisher.

Kokoulin Backdoors a Flush To Escape Elimination

Nível 30 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Claudio Di Giacomo raised from under the gun to 225,000 and Tomasz Kozub called from the small blind with A♣J♣6♦4♦. Volodymyr Kokoulin also called out of the big blind.

On the flop of 7♣9♠K♥, it checked to Di Giacomo, who fired 280,000. Kozub quickly got out of the way then Kokoulin made it 1,575,000. Di Giacomo shoved, and Kokoulin called off his stack of 3,085,000.

Volodymyr Kokoulin: K♦Q♠9♥7♥ All in
Claudio Di Giacomo: K♠K♣Q♥8♣

It was a dream situation for Di Giacomo who was a huge favorite to take over as the chip leader, and would do so if he faded some of the backdoor draws of Kokoulin.

However, poker is never easy and the 3♥ dropped on the turn, which gave Kokoulin a flush draw. That flush draw was completed when the 6♥ rolled off on the river, much to the disbelief of Di Giacomo.

From the brink of elimination, Kokoulin now surges into the chip lead with almost 7,000,000, and Di Giacomo becomes the short stack with less than ten big blinds.
