Dusco Fires Three Barrels

Livello 29 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Stepan Khachaturyan raised to 175,000 from middle position, and he received a simple call, by Alexandr Dusco in the cutoff.

On a flop of J♠8♣10♥, Khachaturyan decided to check. Dusco then bet 140,000, and Khachaturyan called. He eventually check-called again on the turn 7♦ after Dusco fired a second barrel of 205,000.

But on the river J♥, Khachaturyan seemed very unhappy to fold because Dusco bet 305,000.

Gianluca Gallo: Q♦Q♠

Both players smashed the Q♣3♠3♦ flop but Gallo remained ahead with his full house. Hula improved to a boat on the A♣ turn but remained behind. Hula had three outs but the 10♣ river wasn't what he needed and he exited the tournament.

Livello 29 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Andras Balogh moved all in for 955,000 in early position before Vadzim Lipauka reshoved next to act. Dennis Magro then went in the tank from the small blind.

"I know I win this one," he said as he eventually folded.

Andras Balogh: 6♣6♠
Vadzim Lipauka: 10♥10♣

Lipauka had Balogh crushed heading to the 7♥10♦9♥ flop, which improved him to top set.

"Maybe not," a tablemate told Magro as the J♥ fell on the turn. The river was the K♠ and Balogh was busted, while Magro admitted he folded ace-queen and would've made a straight.

"Give me my chips," he joked with Lipauka after the hand.

Shawn Stroke: A♣K♥
Xhavit Berisha: A♥4♣

Berisha was dominated but picked a wheel draw on the J♦5♥2♣ flop. The 3♣ turn completed his straight draw.

Turjak Calls Off Light; Paleologos Hits the River on Wheeler

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Livello 29 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Jan Turjak raised to 170,000 on the button before Tobias Peters moved all in. Turjak spent a moment in the tank before calling off his last 1,000,000.

Jan Turjak: K♠4♥
Tobias Peters: A♣6♠

The flop came A♦2♣Q♥ and Peters moved further in front with a pair of aces. The 8♦ turn or 3♣ river wasn't any help to Turjak and he was sent to the rail.

"If he goes all in, do you call," a tablemate asked Peters.

"For 1,000,000, I call 100 percent," Peters replied.

At another table, action folded to Jason Wheeler in the small blind who shoved for his last 230,000. Andreas Paleologos called in the big blind.

Jason Wheeler: K♠4♠
Andreas Paleologos: J♠8♠

Both players picked up a flush draw on the 5♥2♠9♠ flop, while the 9♥ turn kept Wheeler's king-high in the lead. The river, though, brought the 8♣ and Paleologos made two pair to bust Wheeler.
