Carvalho Wins Three-Way All-In

Livello 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Action was on the turn on a board of 2♠7♥8♣A♥. Nariman Yaghmai moved all in for 14,000, then Kim De Sousa Carvalho pushed all in for 33,000. Bekim Murtezi then moved all in over the top of them both with the biggest stack to make for a three-way all-in. Players flipped their cards.

Kim De Sousa Carvalho: 8♦8♠
Bekim Murtezi: A♦7♦

Yaghmai was drawing to a straight and flush, Murtezi had two pair with aces and sevens, and Carvalho was out ahead with a set of eights.

Both of his opponents still had outs, but the river came a blank, the 4♦. Carvalho held to win the pot and near-triple his stack. Murtezi lost a chunk of chips, while Yaghmai was eliminated from the tournament.

Seire Tank-Calls Correctly

Livello 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

With around 35,000 in the middle to the Q♥9♦3♥8♦7♣ river, Casimir Seire had checked from under the gun. Yuhang Chen pushed all-in for what appeared to be 23,900 and Seire went deep into the tank without asking for an exact count.

Several minutes passed without any player calling the clock and Seire even apologised for taking so long, he then put the chips into the middle soon after.

Chen showed A♥J♦ for a bluff and Seire earned the knockout with the J♠7♥ for rivered fourth pair.

"That was a sick call," Rory Jennings said while Seire raked in the pot.

Casimir Seire	185,000
