O'Dwyer Hits a Colossal Wall

Nível 19 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Senol Ardic raised to 21,000 from middle position and Steve O'Dwyer called from the cutoff. Daniel Koloszar, who had multiplied his chips several times since the end of bubble play, made a three-bet to 85,000 from the button and only O'Dwyer called.

The flop of 3♦7♠10♠ was checked by both players before O'Dwyer led out for 50,000 chips on the 7♣ turn. Koloszar made the call and O'Dwyer checked the subsequent 6♠ river.

Koloszar responded by going all in, covering the 185,000 chips O'Dwyer had remaining in his stack. The high-roller regular then spent a few minutes in the tank before putting in a stack of calling chips. Kolszar showed O'Dwyer the bad news by tabling his 10♥10♦ for a full house, while O'Dwyer had tried to catch a bluff with 8♠8♦.

O'Dwyer sought the exit while Koloszar's resurgence continued.

Sammartino Can't Be Stopped

Nível 19 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Dario Sammartino continued his relentless rush to the top of the leaderboard by busting another player, this time Kubanychbek Abakirov.

Sammartino had raised to 22,000 in early position, Abakirov three-bet to 85,000 in the big blind, and Sammartino shoved all in. Abakirov snap-called for his last 350,000.

Kubanychbek Abakirov: A♥K♥
Dario Sammartino: J♦J♠

Abakirov was racing for his tournament life, but Sammartino stayed in front on the 7♦5♥4♣2♥10♣ board to send Abakirov to the rail and his stack above 2,000,000.

Nível 19 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Nicolas Vayssieres raised to 20,000, from the hijack Deividas Daubaris three-bet to 55,000, in the cutoff, and Adrian Mateos four-bet to 130,000, in the small blind.

Vayssieres thought before putting in a five-bet to 270,000. Daubaris, seemingly in a tough spot, tanked for some time before choosing to make a frustrated fold. Mateos snap-folded in succession.

Sammartino Picks Off Stok For Another Big Pot

Nível 19 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Dario Sammartino raised to 22,000 in the cutoff and Jovan Kenjic called on the button. Sven Stok, in the big blind, then moved all in for 392,000 and Sammartino called, while Kenjic got out of the way.

Sven Stok: A♣Q♠
Dario Sammartino: K♥K♣

The board ran out J♥5♣10♠9♣5♦ and Sammartino's kings stayed ahead to send Stok to the rail. After the hand, Kenjic admitted he folded ace-jack.

"That would've been interesting on the flop. You bet, I jam, you get it all," Kenjic told Sammartino.

Sidhu Hits the River to Double Up

Nível 19 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

In a blind versus blind situation, Hwany Lee went all in in the small blind to apply pressure on Kuljinder Sidhu in the big blind. Sidhu went into the tank, used two time bank cards, and called, being the one at risk for 146,000 chips.

Kuljinder Sidhu: K♠6♠
Hwany Lee: A♦3♣

When the cards went on their backs, Sidhu stood up, ready to leave. The flop 10♣J♦Q♣ gave him a straight draw, but he was still in a very bad position after the turn 10♥.

However, the A♣ landed on the river to complete the straight and make him double up.
