Kovtunov Spins Way To Huge Stack

Level 24 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Hlib Kovtunov moved all in over a three-bet from Bradley Rogoff preflop and Rogoff took a moment before he called.

Hlib Kovtunov: {j-Hearts}{j-Spades}
Bradley Rogoff: {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}

The board ran out {8-Spades}{k-Hearts}{5-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} and Kovtunov gathered a big double.

The very next hand Kvtunov re-shoved over the shove from Yitshak Shitrit, a third player in the hand folded {a-}{k-} face up.

Yitshak Shitrit: {a-Spades}{j-Hearts}
Hlib Kovtunov: {q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}

The board ran out {7-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{k-Spades} to eliminate Shitrik as the player who folded ace-king rued his decision and Kovtunov suddenly found himself with one of the largest stacks in the room.

Level 24 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

The chips went in the middle before the flop and Philip Sacks had his opponent at risk for their tournament life.

Opponent: {8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}
Philip Sacks: {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}

It was a race as the {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{2-Clubs} hit the flop, giving Sacks the lead. The board completed with the {2-Diamonds} on the turn and the {q-Spades} on the river and with his full house he sent his opponent to the payout desk.

John Song raised from early position to 105,000 and the action folded around to Thomas Taylor in the small blind who jammed his stack of roughly 800,000 in the middle which was enough for Song to forfeit the pot.

Vijayaratnam Gets Shove Through Big Stack

Level 24 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

The board read {4-Spades}{q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{10-Spades} on the river with a pot of about 400,000 in the middle. From the hijack, Senthuran Vijayaratnam jammed his remaining 540,000.

Bradley Rogoff from the cutoff had the decision on him as he had a massive stack to make the decision with. He stewed it over for a decent amount of time before finally folding. He prompted Vijayaratnam to show, but he did not oblige as he collected his new chips.
