Hovsepyan Hits Another River

Kai Cocklin

Level 26 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Ruben Hovsepyan is on a bit of a heater at the moment as two river cards have totally transformed his tournament.

After just eliminated Giorgi Kutchava, Hovsepyan got his stack of around 1,000,000 into the middle in an unfavorable position against chip leader Giorgi Tchkonia.

Ruben Hovsepyan: 10♦10♣ All in
Giorgi Tchkonia: Q♥Q♣

Hovsepyan looked to be going home but the runout of 6♦J♦8♣J♥10♥ saw him spike a full house on the river to survive, and prevent Tchkonia to grow his stack even further.

Ruben Hovsepyan shoved 460,000 from the hijack and Giorgi Kutchava called all-in from the cutoff for his last 350,000.

Giorgi Kutchava: K♣K♠ All in
Ruben Hovsepyan: A♥10♣

Both players had short stacks but it was Kutchava who needed his pocket kings to hold otherwise he would be eliminated.

Everything looked good for Kutchava until the Hovsepyan spiked an ace on the river after the dealer ran a board of 6♠2♥J♣9♣A♣.

Arkadii Sharoian: A♥J♥ All in
Rinat Ismagilov: K♣J♠

Sharoian's hand managed to hold up on the 6♥6♠3♦2♦J♦ runout, which earned him more than a double-up in the first hand back from the break.

Level 25 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

The action folded to Sergei Kim in the cutoff who shoved for 760,000. Edgars Hauks was on the button and he reshoved, then Zoran Marich called off his stack of around 550,000 from the big blind.

Zoran Marich: 10♦10♣ All in
Sergei Kim: K♥Q♥ All in
Edgars Hauks: A♦Q♣

Hauks had a chance to eliminate two players but also Marich was in an ideal situation to triple up. That situation improved for Marich as he hit a set on the 8♦3♣10♥ board, and managed to hold on as the runout of 5♣2♦ change nothing. Hauks took the small side pot but lost chips on the hand, and Kim was eliminated.
