Korochenskiy Doesn't Notice Sturm, Doubles Off Him Anyway

Livello 16 : Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Leon Sturm raised to 10,000 in early position before Bruno Bernardino moved all in for 50,000 on the button. Anatoly Korochenskiy called in the small blind, then let out a laugh. "I didn't see you," he told Sturm. Sturm then reshoved and Korochenskiy snap-called for 194,000.

"So you do have aces," Sturm said.

Bruno Bernardino: 7♣7♥
Anatoly Korochenskiy: K♥K♠
Leon Sturm: 8♥8♠

Korochenskiy didn't have aces, but he did have Sturm crushed with two kings. Sturm picked up a straight draw heading to the river on a board of 9♠5♦10♠J♥, but he missed the 5♥ as Korochenskiy doubled up and busted Bernardino.

Speranza Busts Schultz-Pedersen

Livello 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

In the first hand after the bubble, Walter Treccarichi opened to 8,000 and was faced with a three-bet to 26,000 by Johan Schultz-Pederson.

Action folded to Gianluca Speranza in the small blind, who reached for raising chips and produced a cold four-bet jam, covering both of his opponents.

Treccarichi quickly folded while Schultz-Pedersen got the rest of his stack, around 170,000, in the middle.

Johan Schultz-Pedersen: A♠K♠
Gianluca Speranza: K♦K♥

Pedersen had been unfortunate to run into Speranza's kings and the 7♠9♥4♥10♥7♥ runout confirmed his exit, Speranza ultimately holding a king-high flush.

Karim Alleg: 9♥9♣
Alessandro Minasi: A♣8♣

Alleg was ahead with his nines through the turn on a board of 10♦7♠J♥4♣, but Minasi hit the A♥ on the river to send Alleg to the rail as one of the first post-bubble bustouts.
