Navarro Arrocha Nets a Big Pot

Nível 15 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Mario Navarro Arrocha had bought in at the start of play today with a stack of 30,000. He had already multiplied that several times over when his latest hand was caught.

He was battling with Viliyan Petleshkov over a 36,000 pot. The flop read A♦4♦7♥ and Petleshkov checked to Navarro Arrocha, who elected to bet 12,000. Petleshkov made the check-raise to 48,000 and Navarro Arrocha called after some delibiration.

The turn brought the 8♥ and Petleshkov now announced ''all-in'', for a pot-sized bet worth Navarro Arrocha's 129,000 stack. Navarro Arrocha snap called and the players showed their cards.

Mario Navarro Arrocha: A♠4♠
Viliyan Petleshkov: A♣K♠

Petleshkov flopped top pair, top kicker but it was no match for the the two pair of Navarro Arrocha. The river 3♠ bricked out and Navarro Arrocha scooped a huge pot of nearly 400,000. Meanwhile, Petleshkov was left with 20 big blinds

Kassouf's Kings Hold Up

Nível 15 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Jamie Nixon opened the action from under the gun with a raise to 6,000. Will Kassouf then made it 18,000 from the cutoff before Biliyan Petleshkov four-bet jammed 119,500 from the cutoff.

The action folded back to Nixon, who asked for a count. Seeing that he was covered by a small amount, he elected to let this hand go. Kassouf said ''Well, if you have aces you have aces'', and put in the call in hopes of obtaining a bounty token.

Viliyan Petleshkov: A♦K♥
Will Kassouf: K♦K♠

The aces remained absent on the Q♠6♦J♠5♠2♥ runout, and no Broadway was turned or rivered either. Petleshkov was out but traveled to the bounty desk with a handful of tokens, so he may yet turn a big profit in this tournament.

William Kassouf	350,000 195,000	195,000
Jamie Nixon	100,000 -24,000	-24,000

Boika Wins Two Bounties With Six-Deuce

Nível 15 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Aliaksei Boika limped in early position and Daoud Majid went all in for just 5,500 chips. Aylar Lie called behind before Alan Goasdoue moved all in for 45,000 chips. Boika made the call and Lie folded. Players flipped their cards.

Daoud Majid: K♦4♣
Alan Goasdoue: 8♣7♠
Aliaksei Boika: 6♥2♣

Majid was as surprised as anyone to see that he had the best hand. "Hold, king, hold!", he said. Goasdoue had attempted to isolate but was called by Boika, who had both players covered.

The board ran out 5♣J♦3♣Q♣2♦. The river brought Boika a pair of deuces, which was enough for him to win the pot, add to his stack, and claim two bounty tokens.

Majid and Goasdoue were both eliminated from the tournament.
