Atanas Malinov open-jammed his final 29,000 chips in from under the gun and found one caller in Sam Greenwood in the cutoff.

Atanas Malinov: 8♦7♦
Sam Greenwood: A♣4♣

It was looking hopeless for Malinov on the A♠4♦Q♣ flop, but the K♦ turn gave him a flush draw. It came in on the J♦ river, and he doubled up to around eight big blinds.

Kulev Wins a Classic Flip; Kisacikoglu Busts Kuznetsov

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Livello 13 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Alex Kulev raised to 16,000 on the button before Byron Kaverman three-bet to 105,000 in the small blind. Stephen Chidwick then moved all in and Kulev called for 103,000. Kaverman burned through several time banks as he tanked for more than a minute before folding.

Alex Kulev: Q♦Q♥
Stephen Chidwick: A♣K♦

The flop came Q♣9♠2♠ and Kulev made top set to take a big lead in the hand. The 2♥ turn improved him to a full house, and he secured the double up once the 5♥ fell on the river. Kaverman then admitted he saw one of Kulev's queens before the action. "The way you put it in, I assumed you had queens," Kaverman told him.

At the same time at another table, Nikita Kuznetsov was all in for his last 95,000 from the button and up against Orpen Kisacikoglu in the hijack.

Nikita Kuznetsov: K♦10♦
Orpen Kisacikoglu: K♥Q♦

Kisacikoglu had Kuznetsov dominated as the board ran out 8♥7♣5♣3♦4♦, sending Kuznetsov to the rail.

Livello 13 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Mike Watson was in the small blind, Steve O'Dwyer was in the big blind, and Aleksejs Ponakovs was under the gun before all three players went to a turn of 9♠10♦8♦6♣. With around 50,000 chips in the middle, the action was checked to Ponakovs, who made a bet of 19,000.

Watson then put in a raise to 66,000, after which O'Dwyer quickly folded. Ponakovs took some time before he followed suit and he let out a big sigh while he saw the pot being shipped Watson's way.

Livello 13 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Orpen Kisacikoglu opened from the button and Nikita Kuznetsov jammed all in from the big blind for 42,000. Kisacikoglu quickly called and the cards were tabled.

Nikita Kuznetsov: A♠3♦
Orpen Kisacikoglu: J♥10♣

Both players flopped a piece on A♣A♥J♦, but Kuznetsov's three aces would remain the best hand on the 4♦K♦ runout, doubling him up to around a starting stack.

Livello 13 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Jean-Noel Thorel raised to 20,000 in the cutoff as Daniel Dvoress and Mike Watson came along from the blinds.

The flop came 3♣8♠9♦ and Dvoress moved all in for 75,000. Watson gave it some thought before folding, but Thorel snap-called.

Daniel Dvoress: Q♠J♥
Jean-Noel Thorel: K♠9♠

Thorel showed top pair, while Dvoress was looking to complete a straight draw. The 10♣ turn gave him his straight and Thorel paid him off following the A♣ river.

"Good old stop and go," Dvoress said.

Livello 13 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Mike Watson raised to 16,000 from the cutoff and Jean-Noel Thorel called from the big blind. The 3♦6♦2♣ flop was checked by both players before Thorel led for 15,000 on the 5♣ turn.

Watson called and did so again when Thorel fired 30,000 chips on the 8♠ river. Thorel showed down A♠4♥ for a straight and raked in the pot.

Meanwhile, Ben Heath was eliminated from an adjacent table when his last few chips went in with K♥8♥ against the 10x9x of Adrian Mateos and could not hold.

Patience Pays Off For Grafton

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Livello 13 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Atanas Malinov raised to 16,000 in early position, then called when Sam Grafton moved all in for 55,000 in the big blind.

Sam Grafton: J♥J♦
Atanas Malinov: 6♣6♠

Grafton had Malinov crushed with his jacks as the flop came 9♦9♠A♦. The J♠ turn improved Grafton to a full house, and Malinov was left paying off the double up once the A♣ completed the board.

"That's why I folded pocket eights under the gun. I knew I would get a better hand," Grafton said.
