Refos Reshoves, Zullo Gets Away

Nível 26 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Iurii Kondrat moved all in for 160,000 in early position and Michele Zullo then raised to 550,000 in middle position.

Action folded to Raoul Refos in the cutoff who reshoved for 995,000. The blinds got out of the way, but Zullo tanked for several minutes before mucking.

Iurii Kondrat: A♥Q♣
Raoul Refos: A♠K♠

The flop was a disaster for Kondrat as the dealer turned over 4♠3♠2♠, giving Refos the nut flush. The board ran out 3♥K♥ and Refos sent Kondrat to the rail.

Zullo admitted he also had ace-queen and began playfully punching himself for raising instead of just calling.

Nível 26 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Hertsel Levy raised to 100,000 under the gun, then called when button Juuso Luokkanen three-bet to 255,000.

The flop came Q♠8♠3♣ and Luokkanen bet 400,000. Levy then moved all in for 910,000 and Luokkanen practically beat him into the pot.

Hertsel Levy: Q♦J♣
Juuso Luokkanen: A♣A♠

Levy had run right into aces with more than 2,000,000 at stake. The turn was the J♥ and Levy suddenly shot into the lead with two pair.

Nível 26 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Paul Craciunas opened to 500,000 from middle position, leaving 70,000 behind. Angelo Marrone moved all in as the big stack from the small blind and Craciunas put the rest of his stack into the middle.

Paul Craciunas: AxJx
Angelo Marrone: 10x10x

It was a race, and Craciunas became the favorite after pairing up on the A♦K♥9♦ flop. The 4♠ turn brought him closer to a double up but he threw his hands in the air in disappointment after the dealer put the 10♥ river onto the felt. Marrone improved to a pair and saw his stack his the 2,000,000 milestone.

Samuel Stranak: 6♠6♣
Elia Salerno: A♥Q♦

Stranak was flipping for his tournament life and watched as the dealer turned over K♥7♦2♣2♦4♥. The board was no threat to his pocket pair and Salerno handed over the double up to the WSOP bracelet winner.

Nível 25 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Siarhei Kaliankovich moved all in for around 220,000 under the gun and Jason Wheeler called next to act. The rest of the table got out of the way.

Siarhei Kaliankovich: K♣Q♣
Jason Wheeler: Q♦J♦

The flop came 8♦5♦A♠ and Wheeler picked up a flush draw. The 3♣ turn was no help, and while Wheeler didn't hit his flush on the river, he did spike the J♣ to make a pair and send Kaliankovich to the rail.

Calum_Grant

Nível 25 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Gianluca Gallo limped in from under the gun before Candido Cappiello made it 125,000 from middle position. Francesco Pagliazzo called from the button and Gallo also decided to stick around.

On the 10♣10♦10♠ flop, action checked to Cappiello, who bet 90,000. Both remaining players called.

Action checked to Cappiello on the 2♦ turn, and he fired out another 400,000. Pagliazzo folded but Gallo quickly committed his last 190,000.

Fits of laughter erupted as Gallo tabled his J♥10♥ for flopped quads, rendering Cappiello's A♣K♦ useless.

Also at the same table is Daniel Bussman, who has taken the chip lead and has a wide gap between his nearest rival.

Nível 24 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Shawn Stroke has the chip lead going into the break and he just detailed his hand that put him at the top of the counts.

Stroke opened to 60,000 from middle position and was called by Viacheslav Svyshchov and start-of-day chip leader Xhavit Berisha from the blinds.

On the 9♠7x6♠ flop, action checked through to the K♥ turn. Action checked to Stroke, who bet 60,000. Svyshchov called before Berisha made it 300,000. Only Stroke called.

On the Jx river, Berisha then moved all in as the big stack and Stroke, with around 550,000 behind, snap-called for his tournament life.

Berisha had a set with 9x9x, but Stroke had the Q♠10♠ for the queen-high straight.

Ioannis Temekonidis: A♠K♠

Ghashayar needed to win the flip to survive, but the flop came A♥6♠3♣ and Temekonidis hit his ace to take the lead.
