Doddapaneni Wins Huge Pot as Karrim Bluffs Into Trips

Livello 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Sriharsha Doddapaneni raised to 40,000 from middle position and Ahmed Karrim three-bet to 140,000 from the small blind, which Doddapaneni called.

Both players checked it back on the 2♦J♥9♣ flop. The turn came the 9♦ and Karrim bet 125,000, which Doddapaneni called.

The river was the K♠ and Karrim led out again, this time for 260,000. Doddapaneni made the call.

Karrim showed 5x5x for pocket fives that he'd turned into a bluff, but in the end it was badly timed as Doddapaneni flipped over Q♠9♠ for trip nines to scoop a huge pot.

Livello 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Fabiano Kovalski raised to 40,000 in the hijack with 8♥8♣. Kyosuke Nagami called in the small blind with K♦J♠, as did Vladimir Erceg in the big blind with 10♦9♠.

The flop fanned out 6♠5♠8♦. The action checked to Kovalski, who bet another 40,000. Nagami quickly folded but Erceg stuck around with his straight draw.

The 10♠ turn gave Erceg top pair and a flush draw, which he checked. Kovalski fired a big bet of 150,000 into the pot, which Erceg paid.

Erceg hit his flush on the 4♠ river, which was checked by both players. Erceg tabled his cards, causing Kovalski to disappointedly muck his cards.

Livello 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

"Oh my God, I'm going to get a walk, aren't I?" Nick Palma said as the table folded around to Ivan Zhechev on the button, who then raised to 40,000.

"I could have aces right now, you don't know," Palma said as he called. The flop came K♠7♦6♣ and Zhechev continued for 30,000. Palma called and the A♣ fell on the turn.

Zhechev bet another 140,000 and Palma called once more. The 2♦ came on the river and Zhechev bet enough to put Palma all in. Palma let out a deep breath before calling for his last 320,000.

Zhechev instantly tossed Q♣10♦ into the muck as Palma turned over A♠8♣ for a pair of aces to double up.

Stephen Song raised his small blind to 65,000. and was called by big blind Eero Rantala. Song continued for 90,000 on the 6♠A♦Q♥ flop and was once again called.

Song used one of his time extensions before shoving all in, covering Rantala's stack of 570,000. Rantala spent some time in the tank himself but ended up making the call for his tournament life.

Song turned over A♠10♦ for top pair. Defeated, Rantala flipped up his A♣9♥ for the same pair but with a lower kicker.

The Finnish player dejectedly headed to the exit while Song stacked up more chips to climb above the three-million mark.

The action was checked to the river on the 3♠10♦5♥K♠5♦ board then exploded into life as Myers led out for 65,000, and Foggin raised to 170,000. Mangroe and Wiciak both folded, then Myers shoved, which put Foggin to the test for his remaining 275,000. Foggin used some extra time but eventually settled on a fold.

Myers was kind enough to show the table 10♥10♠ for a flopped set that rivered a full house.
