Taylor Makes Quads

Livello 23 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Sungbin Ma and Thomas Taylor were heads-up to the flop, where Taylor moved all in dark. The flop came 2♠A♥7♠ and Ma made the call.

Thomas Taylor: A♣A♦J♠7♥
Sungbin Ma: 9♣8♠7♣5♠

Taylor's set of aces needed to dodge Ma's straight draw, but the A♠ turn locked up the hand with quads. The 6♦ river completed the board, giving Taylor a big double.

At a nearby table, Sylvain Naets hit the rail.

Ciao Ciao, Zhang

Livello 23 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

On a board reading Q♥Q♣9♦8♣7♦, Zhihao Zhang was facing a raise from Stephen Nahm that would put him all in after he had bet the river.

Zhang took his time with the decision, double checking how much he'd have behind if he folded. He eventually threw out some chips to call, but the price would be all of them as Nahm rolled Q♦9♣9♠Xx for top boat.

Frustrated, Zhang showed that he had Q♠8♦XxXx for the second place boat. He'll have to settle for 31st place this time.

Clotar Ducks Elimination

Livello 23 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Eric Fields raised from early position and called when Paul Clotar moved all in from the big blind.

Paul Clotar: A♦K♠J♦2♣
Eric Fields: A♠K♦Q♣5♠

The 2♦4♣10♣ flop gave Clotar a pair of deuces, while Fields could not connect on the 8♣ turn or 9♥ river. Clotar's pair was enough to earn the double-up and stay alive.

Glib Karpov: A♦Q♣Q♦8♠

Khomutetsky is Here and Alive

Livello 23 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Cards were on their backs and three players had the chips in the middle.

Middle Position: A♣5♥K♥9♦
Hyndi Khomutetsky: A♦Q♦A♥7♣
Mike Gorodinsky: Q♠J♥10♣9♠

The flop rolled 6♦6♥7♠ and Khomutetsky was further in the lead when the 7♥ came on the turn. The only card she needed to fade on the river was a heart and the 4♦ obliged.

"Thank the baby poker Jesus!", said Khomutetsky before she had another sip of her beer. It seems we won't be able to let this lady slide under the radar any longer, as she now has well over a million in chips.

Eli Elezra fired a bet of 85,000 on the 5♣J♥3♣ flop, which was called by Hyndi Khomutetsky in the small blind. Mike Gorodinsky then raised the pot from the big blind, with Elezra moving all in behind. Khomutetsky took a moment before getting out of the way.

Eli Elezra: A♦J♠4♦3♠
Mike Gorodinsky: A♣K♠K♣J♣

Elezra was in the lead with two pair, but the 2♣ turn gave Gorodinsky a flush. "Not that deuce" said Elezra, as the 10♦ completed the board to end his tournament run.
