Bilan Hits a Two-Outer to Triple

Nível 15 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Paul Covaciu raised to 16,000 under the gun before Florin Bilan moved all in for 75,000 in middle position. Adrian Strobel called in the hijack, while Covaciu also called.

The flop came 9♣6♠2♠ and Strobel bet 80,000, chasing away Covaciu and leaving him heads-up with a chance to knock out Bilan.

Florin Bilan: A♦J♣
Adrian Strobel: K♦K♠

Strobel was ahead with his kings, but the turn brought the A♠ as Bilan made top pair and Covaciu flinched. The river was the 10♥ and Bilan tripled up.

"Ace-king," tablemate Alexandr Dusco asked Covaciu.

"Ace-queen," Covaciu replied.

Saliba Bluffs Early

Nível 15 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Arriving on a turn on the board of 5♠4♥8♦2♥, Vivian Saliba made a bet of 55,000 into the pot of 140,000 from the big blind. Her opponent was Arvydas Merfeldas in the cutoff, and he made the call.

The 7♣ river then completed the board and Saliba did not take long before moving all in, covering the 150,000 chips Merfeldas had behind.

Merfeldas was even quicker, with his call, however. Saliba tabeled her A♦2♠ for bottom pair, but Marfeldas had rivered a straight with his A♥6♥ and raked in a double-up in the early stages of Day 3.

Sander Doubles Through Nemeth

[user38873]

Nível 15 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Oleksii Kovalchuk raised to 16,000 and Andras Nemeth three-bet to 60,000 in the small blind. Philipp Sander then four-bet jammed in the big blind for 158,000 and Kovalchuk folded. Nemeth pondered about his decision for a mere fifteen seconds and called with the far superior stack.

Philipp Sander: A♦Q♥
Andras Nemeth: 10♥9♥

Sander's lead grew far bigger on the Q♠5♦3♦ flop and Nemeth needed running cards to deal the final blow. One of them came with the 8♠ turn but the 4♦ river ensured the double of Sander.

Heads-up on a flop of 6♠2♣J♠, Marius Gicovanu bet 13,000 from early position and Omar Eljach called in the cutoff.

Eljach then bet another 60,000 and Gicovanu this time came back with a raise to 190,000. Eljach smiled and nodded his head before mucking.

At the same time at another table, Kasparas Klezys led out for 65,000 from the big blind on a board of 8♣6♦Q♠Q♣ and [Removed:435] called on the button.

The river came the 8♥ and Klezys bet 170,000. Anastasakis gave it some thought but decided to muck.

Gab Yong Kim: K♦Q♦
Christoph Kapitza: A♠A♥

Kidas Knocks Out Birizdo

[user38873]

Nível 15 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Leonard Maue was the first player to depart and he was followed by Istvan Birizdo. The Hungarian three-bet jammed for some 15 blinds out of the small blind and Athanasios Kidas as the initial raiser instantly called.

Istvan Birizdo: 9♦9♥
Athanasios Kidas: A♦J♦

The 10♥10♦6♦ flop gave Kidas a flush draw to go with his two overcards and he then spiked the A♠ turn. Birizdo already vaulted out of his chair even before the 6♠ river completed the board.
