Level 16 Highlights
Dmytro Stetsiura opened for 20,00 in middle position. Michael Dick then three-bet to 65,000 in the hijack, which Rachid El Yaacoubi called in the small blind.
Stetsiura got out of the way before El Yaacoubi led out on the 9♠J♦8♠ flop. He bet 35,000 and Dick raised to 115,000. El Yaacoubi called, only to lead out again on the J♥ turn, this time for 200,000.
Dick was going nowhere and called. The 5♠ river was then checked by both. El Yaacoubi showed the 5♦ for a pair of fives. Dick insisted on seeing the other card, which was the 6♦.
Dick then celebrated loudly as he tabled his K♥K♦ for an overpair and took down the sizable pot.
In a battle between the blinds, Stanislav Zegal led out for 10,000 on the 9♦Q♠3♥ flop, Pavel Svach raised to 25,000, and Zegal called.
Svach bet 35,000 on the 9♠ turn and Zegal came back with a raise to 135,00. Svach called and both players slowed down and checked the J♥ river.
Zegal turned over K♥Q♣ for two pair and Svach mucked.
Heads-up on a board of 9♥8♦10♦3♦, Anson Tsang bet 55,000 from the button and Petr Svoboda called under the gun.
The river was the 5♠ and Tsang bet 90,000. Svoboda quickly called, then mucked when Tsang showed 7♦5♦ for a flush to win the pot.
With the board reading 10♣8♠9♠, Frederik Thiemer checked from middle position and Michael Dick bet 30,000 from the button. Thiemer called.
The 4♠ came on the turn and both players checked to see the 2♦ fall on the river. Thiemer led out for 100,000, which forced a quick fold from Dick.
