Livello 24 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Francisco Benitez opened to 140,000 and was called by Hokyiu Lee, but then Shaun Deeb raised the pot. Benitez quickly got out of the way but Lee reraised enough to cover Deeb, who called to put himself at risk.

Shaun Deeb: A♦K♣Q♣7♥ All in
Hokyiu Lee: Q♠Q♦10♣2♣

The flop of 5♦8♣7♣ gave Deeb a flush draw for a fighting chance, but the runout of J♦9♥ only improved Lee to the nut straight and Deeb was sent out in 13th place.

Andrew Watson raised his button to 150,000, Alex Foxen jammed in his stack of 375,000 chips from the small blind, and Watson made the call.

Alex Foxen: K♥K♠9♦8♠ All in
Andrew Watson: A♥6♠5♦4♥

Foxen made trips on the J♣Q♦8♣7♦8♥ runout to take down the pot and double to a stack of 17 big blinds.

Limped Pot Leaves Foxen Short

Livello 24 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Ronald Keijzer limped in under the gun, Andrew Watson completed his small blind, and Alex Foxen checked in the big blind.

The 6♦K♣2♣ flop was checked through before Foxen bet 120,000 on the 9♠ turn. Keijzer called before Watson check-folded.

The 6♣ river saw Foxen check to Keijzer, who then bet 360,000, more than half of Foxen's remaining stack. Foxen spent some minutes in the tank before calling it off.

Keijzer showed down Q♣9♣7♥7♠ for a queen-high flush. Foxen sighed as he mucked his cards and was left with less than five big blinds.

Livello 24 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Short-stacked Shaun Deeb managed to get the remainder of his chips into the middle before the flop, heads up against Hokyiu Lee.

Shaun Deeb: A♥J♣9♠7♠ All in
Hokyiu Lee: A♣K♣6♠6♣

Deeb would need to improve to stay alive, and he did on the flop 10♣3♠J♥ by hitting a jack, and the runout of 10♠5♦ kept him in the lead to score the double.

Zamani Plays Aces Perfectly

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Livello 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Martin Zamani raised to 130,000 under the gun before Francisco Benitez made it 400,000 to go on the button. The action folded back to Zamani, who four-bet to 1,260,000.

Benitez tossed in a call to the 3♣3♥8♠ flop, on which Zamani moved all in for 2,050,000 chips effectively.

Benitez did not take long before folding his cards and surrendering the pot.

"I had aces," Zamani claimed.

"You had aces?" Benitez asked for confirmation.

"Yeah didn't you see? I pot preflop and pot on eight-three-three, good flop," Zamani continued with a laugh.

Shai Elbaz Eliminated in 14th Place ($20,595)

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Livello 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Shai Elbaz opened to 160,000 and only Alex Livingston called to see a flop of 2♥7♠4♥.

Elbaz continues for 400,000, which left him with around 600,000 behind and Livingston just called.

When the turn hit with the 6♦, Elbaz moved all in and Livingston quickly called to put him at risk.

Shai Elbaz: A♦Q♦Q♠4♠ All in
Alex Livingston: 9♣7♣6♥5♠

Livingston was in the lead with his two pair, and the river J♣ changed nothing to award him the pot and eliminate Elbaz in 14th place.

Livello 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Hokyiu Lee raised the pot in the cutoff to 140,000. Oswin Ziegelbecker three-bet to 480,000 on the button and Lee called.

Lee then put Ziegelbecker all in for his final 325,000 on the 10♦Q♣3♦ flop. Ziegelbecker pondered for a few moments before committing his stack to the middle.

Oswin Ziegelbecker: A♣K♥4♥4♣ All in
Hokyiu Lee: K♠9♦7♠6♦

The J♠ turn made Zielbecker Broadway, leaving Lee only with only a flush draw. The 7♦ river completed it, however, shipping the pot to Lee while leaving Ziegelbecker empty-handed.

Demirel Catches Elbaz Speeding

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Livello 23 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Action was picked up on the flop in a pot between Tolga Demirel in the big blind and Shai Elbaz on the button.

The flop read 10♠7♠8♥ and both players checked to the 6♦ turn, where Elbaz bet 100,000 when checked to, and Demirel called.

On the 3♦ river, Demirel checked over to Elbaz who bet 250,000 and Demirel went into the tank. After some time he tossed in the chips to call and Elbaz nodded.

"Good call," said Elbaz and Demirel tabled K♥10♥7♣4♥ for tens-up, which was good for the pot.
