Kisacikoglu Triples Up

Level 13 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Artur Martirosian bet 20,000 from the hijack, and then Orpen Kisacikoglu in the cutoff moved all in for the lesser amount of 17,000. Then Mikita Badziakouski on the button three-bet to 62,000 and Martirosian called.

The three players then saw a flop of {6-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} and Badziakouski bet 20,000 after Martirosian checked. But then Martirosian check-raised to 90,000 and Badziakouski called.

The turn came the {9-Spades} to pair the board and Martirosian led out for 55,000 and Badziakouski called. On the river {8-Clubs} both players checked and the dealer announced for the side pot to table first so Martirosian tabled {a-Diamonds}{10-Spades} for two pair with a ten kicker but Badziakouski stood up as he tabled his {a-Spades}{q-Hearts} for a bigger kicker to scoop the big side pot.

Then Kisacikoglu as he turned over his hand to show {a-Clubs}{7-Clubs} for a flush to scoop the main pot for a big triple-up.

"He slow-rolled us! He just sat there waiting with his top pair and flush draw!" Badziakouski joked to Martirosian, and Kisacioglu just grinned as he stacked his new chips

Pretty Good Flop for Antonius

Level 13 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Pedro Chaves moved all in preflop for 50,000 and got one call from Patrik Antonius, putting Chaves at risk.

Pedro Chaves: {a-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}
Patrik Antonius: {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}

Chaves had some hope to beat Antonius with his two overs, but the flop of {9-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{9-Spades} quickly squashed those dreams as Antonius had flopped quads.

The runout of {6-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} changed nothing and Chaves was eliminated as Antonius scooped the pot.

Silva Takes Down Burns

Level 12 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

There was already about 60,000 in the middle on a {q-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{4-Hearts} board when Kahle Burns put his remaining 42,000 in the middle from the big blind. Pablo Brito Silva called off his final 35,000 on the button.

Pablo Brito Silva: {q-Spades}{10-Diamonds}
Kahle Burns: {q-Clubs}{j-Hearts}

Unfortunately for Burns, his top pair ran into the two pair of Silva, which would hold on the {5-Clubs} river.

Burns was left with 7,000 and was in the small blind the next hand, where he went all in blind against Silva and was swiftly eliminated.

Petrone Eliminates Mattsson

Level 12 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Even with a dead small blind, Simon Mattsson went all in for his final 125,000 chips from the button. Ramiro Petrone sucked through his teeth and deliberated the decision before finally agreeing to make the call from the big blind.

Simon Mattsson: {a-Hearts}{7-Spades}
Ramiro Petrone: {k-Spades}{q-Hearts}

Mattsson went into the hand ahead but the {8-Spades}{3-Spades}{2-Spades} flop reduced his odds to win the hand down to 51% as Petrone picked up flush outs.

The turn was the {q-Clubs}, which put Petrone lightyears ahead, leaving Mattsson with just two possible outs on the river.

The {6-Spades} competed the board, giving Petrone a big win and sending Mattsson out of the tournament area.

Rabl Eliminates Ruijs After Monster All-In Sweat

Level 12 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Eric Rabl opened from early position and Joris Ruijs shoved all in for his last 120,000. Rabl snap-called.

Joris Ruijs: {j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}
Eric Rabl: {k-Clubs}{k-Spades}

Rabl found himself a huge favorite with kings against Ruijs' jacks but the flop came {8-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} to suddenly give Ruijs a slight statistical edge to win the hand.

However, the Dutchman would brick out and head to the hallway as the {q-Hearts} and {8-Spades} completed the board.

Petrone Forces Watson Out of Big Pot

Level 12 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Ramiro Petrone
Ramiro Petrone

On a flop of {5-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}, after checks from small blind Mikita Badziakouski and big blind Ramiro Petrone, Mike Watson bet 9,000 and both players called.

The turn was the {7-Clubs} and Badziakouski checked again, but this time Petrone put out a large bet of 25,000, to which Watson called and Badziakouski folded.

On the river {5-Diamonds}, Petrone led out for 100,000, which covered Watson and put him in an uncomfortable spot. After a few moments, he made what appeared to be a painful fold and Petrone was pushed the big pot.
