Adams Donks Turn; Busts Luca

Livello 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Ivan Luca opened in middle position to 60,000 and got called by Kevin Martin in the cutoff, Kelvin Kerber on the button, and Timothy Adams in the small blind.

The A♥K♦8♥ flop landed and action checked to Luca who continued for 65,000. Only Martin and Adams called.

The 10♥ rolled off on the turn and after a minute in the tank Adams went with a donk-lead of 155,000. Only Luca called.

The blank 4♦ landed on the river and after about 30-seconds in the tank Adams moved all in covering Luca. He called pretty quickly and got the bad news.

Adams tabled 6♥3♥ for a fast played flush and Luca tabled Q♥J♠ for Broadway with the heart blocker. Luca hit the rail after a fairly cold deck.

Six-Bet in Paradise

Livello 22 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Kazuhiko Yotsushika opened to 50,000 before the action was on Vladimir Minko who put in a three-bet to 180,000. It was then back on Yotsushika who put in a warm four-bet to 500,000.

Minko went in to the tank and eventually put in a minimum five-bet to 900,000 with only about 100,000 back. Yotsushika snap six-bet jammed for the last of Minko's stack.

He went in to the tank and got the clock called as he was waiting to see if he could make a pay jump. After using his full time he called and the cards hit their backs.

Vladimir Minko: A♦K♦
Kazuhiko Yotsushika: Q♣Q♥

It was a classic flip until the 8♥10♦A♥ hit the flop. The 6♦ turn and 10♠ river did not improve the queens of Yotsushika and Minko earned a pure double.
