"Six players" announced the dealer when he fanned a flop of 10♠K♣9♣. But even if almost all the players around the table were involved in the pot, everybody checked the flop to find the A♠ on the turn.
The blinds, the under the gun player and another one in middle position checked again, so Jacob Amsellem in the cutoff decided to bet 16,000. Atanas Kodinov called from the button, but Ian Gascoigne immediately raised all-in for approximately 75,000 from the small blind.
Everybody folded to Amsellem, who folded too. Kodinov then went into the tank, but eventually sent his cards into the muck as well, so Gascoigne won this one and almost doubled up.
Matija Kajtez had already opened from under the gun and action folded to Bogdan Ciobanu in the cutoff, who shoved for a bit under 20,000. It was folded back to Kajtez, who quickly called to put Ciobanu at risk.
Bogdan Ciobanu: A♦J♦
Matija Kajtez: K♠K♦
Ciobanu would need some help, but the 8♣2♠5♦7♦9♠ runout kept Kajtez's cowboys best and Ciobanu was sent to the rail.
