Sargsyan Holds On to Double Off Cibicek

Nível 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Jozef Cibicek raised to 50,000 under the gun as action folded to Aram Sargsyan in the small blind who three-bet to 160,000.

Cibicek tanked for so long that tablemate Rania Nasreddine had time to construct a fort using her time bank cards (after a few failed attempts). Cibicek burned through several time banks before he moved all in and Sargsyan snap-called for 550,000.

Aram Sargsyan: A♦A♥ All in
Jozef Cibicek: 9♣9♥

The J♣5♣2♣ flop gave Cibicek a flush draw, but Sargsyan dodged the 5♦ turn and 6♠ river to earn a double up.

Bedir Flops Set to Double Up Again

Nível 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Francisco Benitez raised to 50,000 from middle position and Selahaddin Bedir moved all in from the small blind for 170,000. Benitez called with the bigger stack and players flipped their cards.

Selahaddin Bedir: 9♥9♠ All in
Francisco Benitez: K♣Q♣

The board ran out 6♥9♣3♦4♣K♠. Bedir made a set of nines on the flop. Benitez picked up a flush draw on the turn and the king on the river gave him a pair, but it wasn't enough. Moments after doubling, Bedir won the pot and doubled up his stack again.

Bedir Doubles His Short Stack

Nível 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Selahaddin Bedir was moved to the other outer table immediately after losing the massive pot to Jozef Cibicek and immediately put his last 80,000 in the middle from early position. Philipp Wenzelburger called in middle position.

Selahaddin Bedir: K♥8♥ All in
Philipp Wenzelburger: 6♠5♠

Bedir ended up with a flush on the 4♠10♥7♥A♥3♣ board, while Wenzelburger ended up hitting his straight on the river but it wasn't enough to avoid handing over a double up.

Calum_Grant

Nível 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Adrian Mateos opened A♠K♣ to 50,000 from the cutoff. Natan Chauskin defended the big blind with the dominated A♦5♦.

Chauskin smashed the 5♥5♣4♠ flop and check-raised to 140,000 over a bet of 40,000 and was called.

The 2♣ turn left Mateos drawing to a chop, and he called a bet of 200,000 with his Big Slick.

The 10♣ river completed the board and Chauskin led out for 500,000 with his trips. Mateos used up three time banks before making the hero-call.

Chauskin raked in the 1,815,000 pot and leapfrogged his opponent in the chip counts.

Cibicek Leaves Bedir on Fumes With Big River Bet

Nível 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Selahaddin Bedir raised to 50,000 in middle position and Boris Angelov called in middle position. Jozef Cibicek then three-bet to 285,000 in the small blind and only Bedir called.

The flop came 10♦3♦10♠ and both players checked to the 7♥ turn. Cibicek then bet 245,000 and Bedir called.

The river was the 4♥ and Cibicek placed nearly his entire stack on top of his ID card and slid it into the middle. The dealer counted out a bet of 700,000, leaving Cibicek with just 80,000 behind. Bedir snap-called.

Cibicek then turned over A♦A♠ and Bedir mucked, handing over the massive pot while dropping the start-of-day chip leader down to an extreme short stack.

Angelov admitted he folded two sevens and would've hit a full house. "We would not be friends if you called," Cibicek joked with him.

Fabrice Bigot: A♣K♠ All in
Derk van Luijk: A♥A♦

Bigot had run into Van Luijk's aces in a massive pot as the 10♦8♣J♦ flop gave him some hope with a straight draw. The turn was the 10♠, while the 10♣ river improved Van Luijk to a full house and sent Bigot to the rail in 24th place, making Van Luijk the new tournament chip leader.
