Bubble Double for Tantillo

Nível 22 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Fausto Tantillo opened to 50,000 from the button and Denis Vlasov defended from the big blind.

The flop came 8♦6♠Q♠ and Vlasov check-called a 75,000 continuation bet from Tantillo.

The 4♠ turn brought a possible flush in and Vlasov lead out with a bet of 60,000. Tantillo made the call.

On the 6♥ river Vlasov moved all in, covering Tantillo who had 170,000 behind. Tantillo, who started the day as chip leader but had recently become one of the shorter stacks, went into the tank.

After a couple minutes Tantillo flicked in the call and was at risk.

Vlasov could only show K♠J♣ for a bluff while Tantillo turned over A♠Q♣ for top pair to secure a critical double up at Vlasov's expense.

Sibgatova Finds the Right Call

Nível 22 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

With two players seeing a board of A♣J♥5♠6♥ and 350,000 already in the middle, Razvan Sabau checked from middle position and Alisa Sibgatova bet 125,000 from the cutoff. Sabau check-raised to 275,000 and Sibgatova made the call.

Both players then checked the 7♥ river. Sibgatova tabled A♠6♠ for aces up which was good enough to take down a sizable pot.

Tomescu Gets a Miracle Walk

Nível 23 : Blinds 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

George Tomescu was down to his last 50,000 and was automatically all in after posting the big blind and big blind ante. In a surprising turn of events, all other players at his table folded preflop allowing Tomescu to stay alive for potentially another orbit before having to move all in again.
