Slobodskoy Doubles Through Huang

Livello 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Xuejun Huang raised to 170,000 and Naor Slobodskoy then three-bet to 410,000 from two seats over. It folded back to Huang and he asked if Slobodskoy had any big chips behind, which was not the case. Huang moved all in and Slobodskoy beat him into the pot.

Naor Slobodskoy: A♠A♦ All in
Xuejun Huang: A♣K♠

The A♥4♠2♠ flop improved Slobodskoy to a set of aces and he nearly locked up the double. There was a sweat for a potential chop with the 5♣ turn but the 5♦ river paired the board for Slobodskoy to double for 1,845,000.

Naor Slobodskoy	3,850,000 1,850,000	1,850,000

The dealer fanned a flop of 2♣10♣3♣ and Dunst continued for 250,000. Foxen check-called.

On the K♥ turn, Dunst fired a second barrel of 650,000. Foxen check-called once again to find the 2♠ river where she checked.

Dunst checked back and sent his cards into the muck as Foxen flipped over the nut flush.

Livello 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

A few good hands for Nazar Buhaiov saw him elevate his stack into a safer position that what it was when the day began.

First, Buhaiov shoved from the small blind for 615,000 and was called by Manuel Machado in the big blind.

Nazar Buhaiov: J♣10♦ All in
Manuel Machado: K♣9♣

Buhaiov needed to connect with the board and left it until the very last moment to do so as he paired his ten on the 5♥8♥8♠2♠10♥ runout.

The next hand, Toby Gibson raised from middle position to 250,000 and Buhaiov shoved for 1,310,000. The blinds folded, and despite the big opening size, Gibson also folded.

Giocatore	Chip	Avanzamento
Manuel Machado	8,100,000 -730,000	-730,000
Toby Gibson	2,850,000 -250,000	-250,000

Livello 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Guillermo Sanchez Otero opened to 160,000 from the hijack and Kevin Theodore defended his big blind.

Theodore check-called a 110,000 bet from Otero on the Q♦2♥K♣ flop and then both players checked on the Q♣ turn.

The 5♣ completed the board and Theodore checked once more — prompting a 250,000 bet from Otero.

Theodore decided to look him up and Otero announced, "King," as he turned over K♦3♦ for kings and queens. Theodore couldn't beat in and mucked — awarding the pot to Otero.

Rolands Norietis raised to 185,000 in middle position before Christopher Brammer moved all in for 775,000 on the button. Luis Vazquez called in the big blind, while Norietis quickly got out of the way.

Christopher Brammer: 8♦8♥ All in
Luis Vazquez: A♦J♦

"Fold better?" Vazquez asked Norietis, who simply shrugged as Brammer and Vazquez went heads up to the flop.

Vazquez hit top pair on the J♠6♥3♦ flop and Brammer couldn't catch up on the 9♣ turn or 5♠ river and was sent to the rail.

Livello 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Dian Shi was already all-in preflop and looked up by Francisco Sanchez as well as Jordan Griff. The two active players checked down the Q♣9♣9♥K♥7♥ runout and Shi tabled his A♠Q♠ for queens and nines. Sanchez had that beat with the A♥K♠ and the J♦J♥ of Griff were no good either for Sanchez to score the early knockout.
