Pankov Forces Out an Ace
Niveau 3
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
With around 35,000 in the middle on a flop of 7♥3♠A♦, Vitalii Pankov bet 9,000 from the button before a player in the hijack raised to 25,000. Michel Habib folded in the cutoff, but Pankov called.
Both players checked the 5♠ turn and the hijack also checked the 10♥ river. Pankov then slid forward a tower of chips for a bet of around 70,000, enough to put his opponent all in.
His opponent tanked for nearly two minutes before flipping over the A♠ and tossing his cards into the muck.

Joumaa Runs Into Nurmuhammedov's Boat
Niveau 3
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Around 35,000 was already in the pot as three players went to a flop of A♠10♣J♦. Bakhos Joumaa then led out for 30,000 in the small blind and only Parahat Nurmuhammedov called in the hijack.
The turn was the 10♠ and Joumaa moved all in for around 28,000. Nurmuhammedov snap-called and turned over J♥10♦ for a full house. Joumaa could only show A♣Q♠ and needed to improve on the river to stay alive.
The J♣ river instead gave Nurmuhammedov a higher full house as he took the pot to send Joumaa off to the exit.
