Borkvik Cracks Queens to Double

Livello 11 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Vasileios Chatzilazarou raised to 3,500 and John Armbrust called on the button. Erik Borkvik then jammed for 28,600 in the big blind and Chatzilazarou went all-in over the top, forcing out Armbrust.

Erik Borkvik: J♦8♦
Vasileios Chatzilazarou: Q♠Q♣

Thanks to a board of 8♠6♣3♣5♥J♥, the suited undercards got there with two pair and Borkvik doubled.

"Jack eight," Georges Sultanem grinned and Borkvik replied "What can you do ... tough level".

Two Pair for Samsonova

Livello 11 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Natalia Samsonova opened to 3,200 from the button, and both players in the blinds called.

All three of them checked on the flop 6♥8♠J♦. But on the turn 2♠, Samsonova bet 5,000. Michael Horn in the small blind was the only one to called.

The 7♦ came on the river, and Samsonova fired a second barrel of 11,100. Horn check-called again, but was clearly unhappy when he discovered that Samsonova hit two pair on the river with 7♠6♦.

Boatman Continues to Assert Dominance

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

Barny Boatman bet 2,600 from under the gun and was called by Virgile Turchi in the cutoff. Andrea Dato on the button raised to 9,400.

Boatman gave a stern look to Dato and responded with a four-bet to 40,000. Turchi and Dato both folded before Boatman could place his chips into the middle.

Boatman has enjoyed a golden renaissance in the last couple of years. Since the pandemic, Boatman has enjoyed four WSOP final tables, including a 7th place finish in the 2022 WSOPE Main Event for €180,867. The wily veteran will be looking to convert this massive chip stack into a third WSOP Bracelet.

Hyunsup Kim: 4♣4♠

Kim hit a set on the turn on the board Q♠5♦K♠4♥8♠, giving no chance to survive for Imperato who was eliminated.

Maricuta Knocks Out Vogrinec

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

Joining the action on the K♥9♦2♥9♣ turn, Matjaz Vogrinec checked and subsequently reluctantly called a bet worth 45,000 by Dan Maricuta. That led them to the 2♣ river on which Vogrinec checked again from under the gun. Maricuta pushed all-in for his opponent to ask for a count, which turned out to be for 86,400 total.

Vogrinec called all-in after a minute and then tried to muck his cards when Maricuta tabled the J♥9♥ for nines full of deuces.

"Showdown," Maricuta demanded and the dealer flipped over the A♦10♦ of Vogrinec, who left the tournament seconds later.

Straight Flush for Tomas

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

Hertsel Levy opened to 2,500 from the button, then called Joao Tomas' three-bet to 9,500 in the small blind.

The dealer fanned a flop of 3♣4♣5♣, and Tomas continued with a bet of 4,500. Levy immediately moved all in and Tomas snap-called.

Hertsel Levy: Q♣J♠
Joao Tomas: A♣2♠

The 8♠ landed on the turn, then the 2♣ on the river to give a straight flush to Tomas. The dealer counted both stacks, but Levy was slightly covered, so he was eliminated.

Romain Locquet: 8♦8♥
Andrea Dato: A♠K♦
