Ladva Bets Big on the River

Level 17 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Action was heads up with 9?A?2? on the board when Lei Yu checked and Ottomar Ladva bet 23,000. Yu called and the turn was 10?.

Yu checked again and called when Ladva put out 60,000 to see A? on the river.

A third check from Yu sent Ladva into the tank to use a time bank. He emerged with a bet of 157,000 and that was good enough to get Yu to fold.

Mokri Wakes Up With a Hand

Level 17 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Kayhan Mokri
Kayhan Mokri

Action folded to Felipe Ketzer in the small blind who asked Kayhan Mokri how much he had remaining before moving all in. Mokri rubbed his hands together, peeked at his cards, and called for his last 235,000.

Kayhan Mokri: A?9?
Felipe Ketzer: 10?4?

Mokri went further in the lead on the K?7?A? flop with top pair, while Ketzer was left drawing dead on the 9? turn as Mokri made two pair. The inconsequential river was the 3? and Mokri doubled up as Ketzer's stack continued to crumble from its once-lofty heights.

Barsegyan Four-Bet Shoves, Takes the Chip Lead

Level 17 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Eduard Barsegyan opened to 40,000 from the cutoff before Felipe Ketzer three-bet to 140,000 in the big blind.

Barsegyan then moved all in for 600,000 and Ketzer snap-mucked. Barsegyan flashed A?K? as he took the pot, and with it the tournament chip lead.

Level 17 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Bruno Volkmann shoved 152,000 from the cutoff and Eduard Barsegyan looked him up from the big blind.

Bruno Volkmann: J?8?
Eduard Barsegyan: A?6?

The board ran out A?8?6?10?9? and Barsegyan flopped aces and sixes to send Volkmann to the rail in seventh place.

The final six players are now on the stone bubble with the top five guaranteed at least �63,900.

Eduard Barsegyan raised to 30,000 from the cutoff and Felipe Ketzer defended in the big blind.

The next hand, Barsegyan again raised to 30,000 from the hijack and action folded around to big blind Bruno Volkmann, who gave up his hand as Barsegyan took another pot uncontested.

Adams Gives Up on the River

Level 16 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Felipe Ketzer raised to 35,000 from under the gun and action folded around to big blind Timothy Adams, who called to go heads-up to the 10?5?4? flop.

Ketzer continued for 15,000 and Adams used up nearly his entire shot clock before calling. The turn came the K? and Ketzer bet another 32,000.

Adams again used his entire 30 seconds before putting in the chips to call as they saw the 6? fall on the river. Ketzer this time used a time bank before betting 255,000.

Adams mucked his hand as Ketzer widened his already massive chip lead over the rest of the table.

Bets and Folds

Level 16 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Kayhan Mokri raised to 24,000 from early position and Felipe Ketzer called from the big blind. The flop was 7?J?3? and Ketzer checked. Mokri bet 42,000 and Ketzer folded.

A few hands later, Mokri limped in from the small blind and Lei Yu checked his option in the big blind. The flop was 8?9?10? and Mokri checked. Yu fired 17,000 and Mokri called to see 9? on the turn. Mokri checked again but this time he folded when Yu bet 28,000.

Action has been otherwise tentative as the players jockey for position for the approaching stone bubble.

Level 15 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Eduard Barsegyan
Eduard Barsegyan

Timothy Adams raised to 24,000 from early position and Eduard Barsegyan called in the big blind.

The flop came 9?Q?9? and Adams continued for 12,000. Barsegyan then moved all in for 93,000 and Adams called.

Eduard Barsegyan: Q?9?
Timothy Adams: Q?10?

Adams had flopped two pair, but Barsegyan showed him a flopped full house as he was a big favorite to double up. The board ran out 2?K? and Adams was left paying off Barsegyan.
