Chop it Up

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

Evgenii Chernyi raised to 120,000 from under the gun, with Ruslan Volkov calling from the hijack, Mihai Trofim calling from the small blind, and Xiaosheng Zheng defending his big blind.

After the action checked to Chernyi on the 4♣Q♠9♣ flop, he fired a continuation-bet of 220,000, which only Volkov called.

Chernyi bet again on the 7♣ turn, this time for 500,000. Once more, Volkov continued.

Chernyi shoved on the 2♥ river, and Volkov quickly called for his remaining 1,400,000.

Chernyi showed A♦Q♣, which was only good enough for a chop, as Volkov tabled A♠Q♦ for the same top pair, top kicker.

Hamad Almannai

Hamad Almannai jammed for 365,000 from the hijack, and Yurii Zabrodotskyi looked him up from the big blind.

Hamad Almannai: A♣10♣ All in
Yurii Zabrodotskyi: A♠J♠

Almannai was already out of his seat after seeing that he was dominated by Zabrodotskyi.

He spiked a ten on the 10♠K♠8♥ flop, although Zabrodotskyi picked up a royal flush draw.

The K♣ turn gave Zabrodotskyi some additional outs, and the A♦ river was one of them, giving both players aces and kings, allowing Zabrodotskyi's jack-kicker to play.

Almannai headed to the rail, while Zabrodotskyi dragged in the pot.

Eren Eroglu: A♥J♥ All in
Ohad Geiger: A♠10♠

Eroglu had Geiger dominated with the superior kicker and improved to a pair of jacks on the 5♦7♣4♠8♥J♦ runout, securing the double-up.

Ali Al-Kubasi raised the button to around 150,000, and Hadi Khadra jammed for 595,000 from the big blind. Al-Kubasi took a moment before making the call.

Hadi Khadra: 8♦8♠ All in
Ali Al-Kubasi: A♦3♦

Khadra was in good shape with pocket eights, but he quickly fell behind after the dealer spread the A♣3♣5♠ flop to give Al-Kubasi two pair.

The 4♣ turn and 4♦ river offered Khadra no help, and he wished the table good luck as he vacated his seat.

Bora Kurtulus

A pot had already developed between Bora Kurtulus in middle position and Timur Mukhamedaminov on the button. Then, on the Q♥8♠4♦ flop, Kurtulus' remaining chips found their way into the middle, with Mukhamedaminov having him slightly covered.

Bora Kurtulus: K♦Q♦ All in
Timur Mukhamedaminov: A♦A♥

Kurtulus held top pair, but it was no match for the pocket rockets of Mukhamedaminov.

The 10♣ turn and J♣ river changed nothing, and Kurtulus was eliminated from the Merit Poker Cup.

With almost 400,000 already in the middle on a board of A♣9♦5♠4♥, Stefan-Sebastian Ionita checked from the big blind, and Yurii Zabrodotskyi bet 280,000 from the hijack. Ionita called.

The 8♦ river checked through, and Ionita tabled A♠10♠ for top pair to win the pot.

At another table, Felipe Ketzer was seen leaving his seat after being eliminated from the tournament.

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

Nikola Radevic raised to around 200,000, leaving himself with just a single T-5,000 chip behind. Chengxu Hu called from the big blind and then put Radevic all-in on the K♣10♥4♥ flop. After attempting to ladder up, Radevic made the call.

Nikola Radevic: A♠5♦ All in
Chengxu Hu: Q♥6♥

Radevic was ahead with ace-high, but that changed when the 6♠ turn gave Hu a pair.

The 9♣ completed the board, and Radevic became the next player to head to the payout desk.

Sukhrat Massimov raised from the hijack, and Danielle Noja jammed from the big blind, covering him. Massimov snap-called for his stack of around 800,000.

Sukhrat Massimov: K♦K♣ All in
Danielle Noja: 5♣5♠

Massimov appeared to be in the perfect spot to double into the seven-figure club, but that changed when the dealer spread the 4♦5♥8♣ flop to give Noja a set.

The 6♣ turn and 9♥ river provided no help to Massimov, who headed to the rail as Noja climbed to more than three million chips.
