Astedt Doubles Up with Aces

Level 30 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Niklas Astedt
Niklas Astedt

Stephen Song in the hijack opened to 300,000, then Niklas Astedt in the cutoff three-bet to 800,000. The button and the blinds folded, and Song decided to four-bet all-in. Astedt looked at his cards and snap-called.

Niklas Astedt:?A?A??All in
Stephen Song:?A?3?

Even if he had aces, Astedt was not guaranteed to win as the flop of J?8?10? gave a flush draw to Song. The 2? turn didn't change anything, and Astedt was able to double his 6,100,000 chip stack after the 9? river.

McCullagh Eliminated by Rosenblum

Level 29 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
Russell Rosenblum
Russell Rosenblum

Jordan Griff raised to 300,000 and Ciaran McCullagh then pushed all-in from the button for around 2,200,000. Russell Rosenblum in the big blind asked for a count and then went all-in over the top to force out Griff.

Ciaran McCullagh: A?Q? All in
Russell Rosenblum: A?K?

In the previous all-in showdown on their table, Rosenblum had come from behind in the same scenario when he was at risk and history seemingly repeated itself on the Q?6?3? flop. However, the K? turn repeated the preflop order and Rosenblum further improved to trips with the K? river to send McCullagh to the rail.

Over on the right hand feature table, Nicholas Howard in the big blind got his short stack of 2,900,000 in and he was up against Adrian Lopez on the button.

Nicholas Howard: A?2? All in .

The J?7?6? flop left Howard on the ropes and the 8? turn sealed his fate, which made the 2? river a formality.

Rosenblum Waits For a Bustout, Then Comes From Behind

Level 29 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
Russell Rosenblum

Arthur Morris raised to 300,000 under the gun before Russell Rosenblum reraised to 3,700,000 in the cutoff, leaving 125,000 behind. "I'm going to jam, I'm just doing this for you to make the pay jump," Morris said.

He eventually moved all in and Rosenblum tanked for several minutes as he waited for someone to bust on another table. He finally heard the shout of "payout" and committed his last chips.

Russell Rosenblum: A?Q? All in
Arthur Morris: A?K?

Rosenblum was dominated by Morris until the flop brought Q?8?6?, giving him the lead with a pair of queens. The rest of the board ran out 6?7? and Rosenblum doubled up, leaving Morris on a short stack.

Rast Doubles After Porto's Light Call

Level 29 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
Brian Rast
Brian Rast

Brian Rast opened the button to 300,000 and Bruno Porto called from the big blind.

They both saw a flop of K?6?Q? which Porto checked, Rast bet 275,000, and Porto check-raised to 725,000. Rast had another bet up his sleeve as he min-raised to 1,175,000, which Porto eventually called.

A 3? fell on the turn and after Porto checked, Rast gathered the remainder of his chips into a single stack and put it into the pot. The bet was 1,650,000 and Porto appeared to have just over that in his stack. It took around six minutes before Porto finally made up his mind and decided to call.

Brian Rast: K?9? All in
Bruno Porto: 7?6?

Porto needed some help on the river but the 5? wasn't what he was looking for, which meant Rast doubled up. Brazil's Porto thought he was eliminated but once the stacks were counted down, he learned that he had around 450,000 chips remaining.

Vazquez Doubles With Straight Flush Against Full House

Level 29 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
Luis Vazquez
Luis Vazquez

Heads-up on a board of J?10?J?7? with several hundred thousand already in the middle, Sami Bechahed checked from the big blind to Luis Vazquez, who bet 250,000. Bechahed check-raised to 625,000 and Vazquez called.

The Q? completed the board and Bechahed fired 2,600,000 into the middle. Vazquez didn't take long to shove for 4,825,000 total and Bechahed called.

Vazquez turned over 9?8? for a straight flush, and a flabbergasted Bechahed showed he held J?7? for jacks-full of sevens.

"Let me get a picture of this," Bechahed requested before the dealer scooped up all the cards.

Nazar Buhaiov
Nazar Buhaiov

Nazar Buhaiov moved all in for 950,000 in middle position as his supporters on the rail began howling. Stephen Song called in the hijack, while the rest of the table got out of the way.

Nazar Buhaiov: 2?2? All in
Stephen Song: A?K?

"Deuces never lose," Buhaiov's rail shouted when the cards were revealed. The 10?8?4? flop kept him in the lead, while the turn was the J?. The river, though, was the Q? and Song made a straight to win the pot and send Buhaiov to the exit.

"Sorry, guys," Song said to Buhaiov's rail.

Garcia Doesn't Believe Russell

Adrian Garcia Galipienso

Charles Russell opened from early position and Adrian Garcia called on the button.

Russell continued for 500,000 on the flop of 10?8?5? and Garcia called. Russell sized up to 1,200,000 on the K? turn and Garcia again called.

The 8? river completed the board and Russell counted out a bet of 5,500,000 to put Garcia all in for around the same amount. Garcia quickly called.

Russell showed A?10? for tens and eights, which was good to beat the 7?7? of Garcia as he hit the rail.
