Nível 20 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

The action was caught on the turn with 105,000 in the middle on the A♦Q♦2♦5♥ board on show.

Antonio Turrisi bet 20,000 from the big blind before Zeljko Maric raised to 65,000 from under the gun. Joseph Floyd got out of the way on the button.

Turrisi jammed for 109,000 and Maric went into the tank for several minutes. A few "wows" were uttered when Maric made the fold, and Turrisi proudly tabled his 2♣2♠.

Gicovanu Finds a Double

Nível 20 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Jan Doenges raised to 21,000 under the gun and Istvan Toth called in the small blind. Marius Gicovanu then moved all in for 80,000 in the big blind, Doenges reshoved, and Toth tanked for a minute before folding.

Marius Gicovanu: 9♠9♦
Jan Doenges: K♦Q♦

Gicovanu was flipping for his tournament life and came out in front as the board came 8♠2♦8♠6♥10♦, earning him a double up.

"You win," he asked Toth after the hand. Toth then admitted he also had king-queen.

"Why didn't you call," Gicovanu added.

"If he calls it comes king-queen on the flop," another tablemate joked.

Kim Crushes Skolin

Nível 20 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Karl Skolin jammed for 108,000 from the hijack before Gab Yong Kim reshoved from the small blind as the bigger stack. Shawn Stroke got out of the way in the big blind.

Karl Skolin: 4x4x
Gab Yong Kim: QxQx

Skolin was in big trouble and found himself in deeper water after Kim made a set on the Q♣10♦2♣ flop. The 7♦ turn confirmed his departure and the 9♣ river was just a formality.

"I'm glad I didn't have Kings," laughed Stroke as Kim collected the pot.

Fernando Suarez Gomez opened to 22,000 from early position and was called by Zeljko Maric from two seats over. Hyun Kim three-bet to 65,000 from the hijack and only Maric stuck around.

Maric, with 190,000 behind, checked the J♠5♣3♠ flop. Kim shoved as the bigger stack and Maric went into some deep thought. Several minutes passed, prompting Joseph Floyd to call the clock. Maric was unable to beat the countdown and his hand was declared dead.
