Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Livello 39 : Blinds 600,000/1,200,000, 1,200,000 ante

On a three-way limped family flop of 5♦4♦3♣, Brian Keith Etheridge led for 3,000,000 and was called by both Olegs Buiko and Alen Bakovic.

The turn came the 8♣ and Etheridge checked, Buiko bet the pot of 15,400,000, and Alen Bakovic moved all in for a slightly less amount of 13,400,000.

After some thought, Etheridge made the call to put both players at risk, the gold bracelet on the line.

Alen Bakovic: K♦J♦8♠3♥
Olegs Buiko: J♥7♥6♥5♠
Brian Keith Etheridge: K♥10♣4♣3♠

Buiko had the lead with his nut straight, but both of his opponents held two pair with opposing flush draws.

And just like that, the A♦ smacked down on the river to give Bakovic the nut flush to win the massive main pot while Buiko took the side with his straight.

Bakovic and his rail went wild as he was pushed the monstrous pot to rocket him into the chip lead.

Livello 39 : Blinds 600,000/1,200,000, 1,200,000 ante

Pot-Limit Omaha

Quan Tran opened to 4,200,000 preflop and was called by Brian Keith Etheridge to see a flop of A♥5♦J♥.

"I'm all in," announced Etheridge as he set out a stack, covering Tran.

"Man... such a bad flop," Tran sighed, but still made the call to put himself at risk.

Quan Tran: K♠K♣8♠2♥ All in
Brian Keith Etheridge: A♠Q♦6♦5♠

Etheridge was a big favorite with his flopped two pair, and the runout of 3♦3♥ changed nothing to eliminate Tran in fifth.

No-Limit Hold'em

After an open to 2,400,000 by Alen Bakovic, Olegs Buiko moved all in for 5,700,000.

"Alright, let's do it," Bakovic announced as he made the call to put Vuiko at risk.

Olegs Buiko: A♠J♠
Alen Bakovic: A♥9♠

Bakovich would need some help to score a knockout here, but the runout of K♥5♦4♠2♥10♠ did no such thing and Buiko scored the double.
