Level 23 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Bogdan Capitan
Bogdan Capitan

With around 350,000 in the middle to the 10?10?5? flop, Bogdan Capitan ended up all-in and at risk for the 425,000 he had behind and big stack Stanislav Halatenko quickly called.

Bogdan Capitan: Q?Q?8?2?
Stanislav Halatenko: J?10?9?9?

Capitan gasped a quick "oops" when he was caught with the fingers in the cookie jar. Nothing changed with the 7? turn but the Q? river provided the fortunate double-up.

Oswin Ziegelbecker was all-in and at risk preflop for 710,000 with the J?9?8?6?. He was looked up by Dimitar Danchev with the K?Q?Q?J? and the Austrian got there on a board of A?J?6?2?7? as he flopped jacks and sixes.

Edmund Chan: A?K?10?2?
Ioannis Angelou Konstas: A?A?Q?4?

The 8?8?4? flop left Chan in desperate shape and he was ready to leave. However, the 3? turn and J? river provided running spades for a flush and double-up.

Franco Felted by Ashegh

Level 23 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Sonny Franco in the cutoff had most of his short stack in the middle already with a pot-sized raise, and he was called by Orod Ashegh. The flop came A?Q?4? and Franco jammed for the 75,000 he had behind. Ashegh sighed and called, mentioning that the ace was the only card he didn't want to see.

Sonny Franco: A?10?8?3?
Orod Ashegh: K?K?Q?6?

The Q? turn improved Ashegh to trips queens and he asked for a deuce. Instead, the river brought the K? and that was good enough to eliminate Franco with a set of kings.
