Khordbin Gets it in Bad at Exactly the Right Time

Nível 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Oleg Netaliev only had 4,000 remaining and opted to move in from early position. Surprisingly, it folded all the way to the small blind where Pete Chen was sitting. After only a moment he moved all in for 32,000. Hadi Khordbin was in the big blind and seemed to have a real decision on his hands. After getting a count of Chen's stack he was ready to flick in the call having both of his opponents covered.

The cards hit their backs with Chen and Netaliev all in and at risk.

Oleg Netaliev: K♥3♠
Pete Chen: K♠4♣
Hadi Khordbin: Q♥J♠

Khordbin was behind but had two live cards going to the run out. The dealer burned and then rolled over the Q♦3♦5♥ flop. Khordbin jumped into the lead and would stay there on the 7♥ turn and Q♠ river.

He earned the double knockout and a hefty pile of chips in the process.

Rabahie Gets Favorable Flop

Nível 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

The action folded to George Rabahie on the button who opened to 10,000. Parker "Tonkaaaa" Talbot was in the small blind and checked his cards, took a moment, and then announced he was all in. Rabahie went over his options, did some accounting, and then called.

The cards hit their backs with Talbot all in and at risk.

Parker Talbot: A♥2♣
George Rabahie: A♠4♣

Rabahie was ahead but only by a small margin. The two players would be chopping a large portion of the time but the dealer thought different and put out a 4♥4♦Q♠ flop. Talbot was only drawing to running aces for a chop and the help would not come on the Q♥ turn or J♦ river.

Rabahie scooped and sent Talbot to the rail after nearly flopping him dead.

Alexander Ivanov: K♠Q♦
Andras Matrai: A♦10♠

The full board ran out 8♠Q♥6♦8♥10♣ and Ivanov would score the chips and the knockout on his way to a health stack late in the day.

Kuscu Gets it in Good

Nível 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

After a few folds, action made it to Carlos Aoun in the cutoff who raised to 2,400. The next player to act was Hakan Kuscu on the button who took a moment and then three-bet to 7,200.

Aoun went into the tank and was figuring out what to do when it dawned on him to check how much Kuscu had left behind. He stood up and saw that Kuscu only had about 5,000 left after the three-bet. It was only a moment more and Aoun put out enough chips to constitute a raise which put Kuscu all in. He snap called and was at risk.

Hakan Kuscu: K♣K♦
Carlos Aoun: 3♠3♥

The full board ran out Q♠Q♣7♣7♥7♠ and although they both rivered a boat it would be Kuscu getting the double and Aoun getting short.

Unfortunately, a few orbits later Aoun would lose a flip and hit the rail.

Just a Cold Deck

Nível 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Kerim Riza Alper opened under the gun to 2,200. The next player to act was Dmitriy Zakharov who put in a three-bet to 6,500. It then folded to Serkan Solak in the big blind who sat in the tank for a moment before putting in a cold four-bet of 16,000.

Alper quickly exited the hand and action was back on Zakharov who did some accounting of his chips and then announced he was all in for about 26,000. Solak snap-called and the cards hit their backs with Zakharov at risk.

Dmitriy Zakharov: A♥K♥
Serkan Solak: K♦K♣

There was little sweat as the flop came K♠4♣9♦ giving Solak a set. The Q♦ turn and A♣ river would seal the deal and Solak sent Zakharov to the rail.

Shagulyamov Puts in the Four-bet

Nível 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Sador Shagulyamov opened under the gun to 700 before Bogdan Jontulovic three-bet from the button to 2,200. Shagulyamov didn't wait long before putting in a four-bet to 6,100. Jontulovic sat in the tank for a moment and eventually found a call.

The 10♣4♣8♥ flop hit the felt and Shagulyamov continued for a little over half-pot at 7,300. Jontulovic called on their way to a 2♦ turn.

Shagulyamov wasted little time before tossing in the remainder of his chips. The final 15,000 was in the middle and it appeared that Jontulovic was faced with a tough decision. After about three-minutes in the tank he eventually found a call and the cards hit their backs.

Sador Shagulyamov: K♦K♣
Bogdan Jontulovic: 4♠5♠

Jontulovic was looking for help but the dealer would only bring a 6♠ on the river. Shagulyamov scooped the pot and got a pure double early in the day.

Left with crumbs, Jontulovic sent his remaining chips into the middle a few hands later and hit the rail.

Sador Shagulyamov	60,000 60,000	60,000
