Yea Folds Out Fast

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Joonhee Yea raised to 1,000 on the button and faced a three-bet to 4,500 by Dietrich Fast in the small blind, which he called.

Fast continued for 10,000 on a 434 flop, which Yea called.

Fast slowed down on the 7 turn, this time check-calling when Yea took over the betting lead to the tune of 8,000.

The A river saw a switch-up in the betting again, as Fast led out for 3,600. Yea responded with a raise to 18,000, which, after some time had passed, saw Fast surrender the pot, as he folded his hand.

Clock Called on Meran

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Action was picked up on the river, with a board reading 8Q1049

Under the gun player Ewald Rupp bet out for 17,000 into a pot of around 30,000, which sent his opponent, cutoff Alberto Meran, deep into the tank. After some time, the clock was called by another player at the table.

Before the floor arrived, Meran let his cards go. Rupp was swiftly moved tables, leaving Meran unable to win some chips back.

Araujo Four-Bets to Double Up

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Miroslav Rizov raised to 900 in middle position. Tyler Chabolla called in the hijack before the player in the small blind three-bet to 6,200.

Douglas Araujo spent a while in the tank before he pushed all in for 7,500, folding out Rizov and Chabolla. The small blind quickly called, however, tabling the cards.

Douglas Araujo: 1010 All in
Small blind: AQ

Araujo won the flip on 8J786, and the player in the small blind was eliminated from the tournament not much later.

Yedalian Rebuilds from Melius

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

David Melius opened to 1,000 from under the gun, Sevag Yedalian called from the hijack and Alexander Ivarsson called from the cutoff.

The 8K2 flop was checked by Melius and Yedalian bet 2,000. Ivarsson mucked and Melius called.

A K turn saw Melius check-call a 5,000 bet by Yedalian, to see the Q complete the board.

Both checked to showdown and Yedalian showed KJ for the trip kings which saw Melius push his hand into the muck.

Gerasimova Exits With Aces

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

The hand was picked up on the river, with Shrinag Gaddipati having bet enough for Liya Gerasimova to be all in and at risk with a call.

The board read K6243x.

Gerasimova made the call.

Liya Gerasimova: AAxAll in
Shrinag Gaddipati: K6

Gaddipati had flopped two pair, to crack the aces.

Gaddipati described the previous hand action to PokerNews, saying he and two others cold-called Gerasimova's under-the-gun open to 1,500. He alone called her continuation bet of 2,000.

Then she check-called his 12,000-chip bet on the turn before calling off her stack.

Yoo Picks Up Kings to Double

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Elvis Toomas had a raise of 2,000 in front of him from middle position and Cheang Yoo then reraised to 5,200 in the cutoff. Toomas reraised to 12,000, and Yoo called.

The flop came 259 and Toomas bet 8,000. Yoo then moved all in for 14,700, and Toomas called.

Cheang Yoo: KK All in
Elvis Toomas: AK

Yoo was ahead with his kings, while Toomas was looking for an ace to score the knockout. The 10 turn was safe for Yoo, while the river was the 8 and Yoo doubled up.

Davidi Kitai
Davidi Kitai

Davidi Kitai was seen with just 1,400 chips after returning from the break with 68,900.

He later explained on social media that Michael Leib in the big blind ended up moving all in for roughly 50,000 on a board of A552J with 35,200 already in the pot. Holding pocket aces, Kitai, who had bet 27,500 from the hijack, made the call.

Michael Leib: 55 All in
Davidi Kitai: AA

Kitai flopped a full house, but Leib made quads to secure a double-up. Despite the brutal beat, Kitai managed to rebuild his stack to 18,000.

"You're My Good Luck Charm!"

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Taylor von Kriegenbergh
Taylor von Kriegenbergh

"You're my good luck charm!" Taylor von Kriegenbergh said to new tablemate Ren Lin after spiking a two-outer in a huge pot. "Tony the Tiger gets here and I hit a two-outer."

Von Kriegenbergh opened preflop before his opponent three-bet to 4,000. Von Kriegenbergh responded with a four-bet to 13,000, which his opponent called. Von Kriegenbergh continued for 8,000 on the 447 flop and his opponent called once more.

The rest of the chips went into the middle on the 10 turn, creating a pot of around 100,000.

Opponent: AA All in
Taylor von Kriegenbergh: KK

Von Kriegenbergh looked disgusted after seeing the cards turned over, but the K river turned his frown upside down, giving him a set to crack his opponent's aces, win the massive pot, and send his tablemate to the rail.

Vuilleumier Has Voluminous Bluffs

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Action picked up on the turn with the board reading 10228 as Justin Dreiling bet 3,000 from the small blind, and Alexandre Vuilleumier called in middle position after inquiring about how much his opponent had behind.

On the 6 river, Dreiling led again for 5,000 before Vuilleumier raised to 20,300 effective, asking Dreiling for the rest of his stack.

After a long tank, Dreiling wasn't ready to call off for his tournament life, and he let his hand go, prompting Vuilleumier to proudly table A3 for the stone bluff, and it worked to perfection on this occasion.
