Livello 21 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Yi Lin raised to 28,000 from under the gun, receiving calls from the hijack, cutoff and big blind.

The J♥5♠K♠ flop saw the action check to Francesco Pilato, in the cutoff, who took the lead for 49,000. The big blind folded and Lin went deep into the tank. Lin toyed with exact calling chips for some time before clicking it back with a min-raise to 98,000.

The hijack folded and Pilato soon followed suit, tapping the table twice as he conceded the pot.

Two Rough Hands for Turych

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Livello 21 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

With the completed board of 9♦7♣3♠Q♥A♣ on the table, Oleksandr Turych was faced with a pot-sized bet of 225,000 from Paolo Boi, and he made the call.

Boi tossed Q♣Q♦ face up for a set of queens, and Turych mucked his hand.

The following hand, Turych shoved his last 222,000 from the cutoff and Peter Kvisthammar announced all in from the small blind, forcing the big blind out of the pot.

Oleksandr Turych: K♣10♣ All in
Peter Kvisthammar: A♥A♠

You could feel the frustration from Turych when he saw the cards. The K♠9♠5♦ flop gave him a glimmer of hope as he paired his king, but the 6♠ turn and 9♣ river weren't what he needed and he walked away from the table.

Giocatore	Chip	Avanzamento
Paolo Boi	1,370,000 540,000	540,000
Peter Kvisthammar	826,000 413,000	413,000

Shiina Okamoto was all in for around 60,000 from early position. Brian Altman called in the hijack and Julien Sitbon defended the big blind.
