Nivel 2 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Ran Ilani opened preflop to 1,200 before Petar Andreev shoved his final 5,000 into the middle. When it folded back to Ilani, he called to put Andreev at risk.

Petar Andreev: A♦8♦ All in
Ran Ilani: K♠J♦

Andreev managed to hit a full house on the 10♦10♥10♣A♠9♦ runout, and he doubled through Ilani. A few hands late, Andreev doubled again before he three-bet shoved over Grzegorz Kozieja's button open, which means Andreev has spun his stack up from 5,000 to roughly 35,000 so far.

Jugador	Fichas	Progreso
Ran Ilani	110,000 5,000	5,000

Nivel 2 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Konstantin Kvashin raised from the cutoff and Giorgiy Skhulukhiya defended from the big blind.

The flop fell J♠10♣5♠ and Skhulukhiya knuckled the action over to Kvashin, who put out a continuation-bet of 2,000. Skhulukhiya flicked in the call.

The J♦ turn went check-check, and the 5♣ dropped on the river. Skhulukhiya now led out for 5,500, forcing Kvashin to fold.

Skhulukhiya finished eighth in the Warm-Up event earlier this series for $28,015 and will be looking to build up a stack during Day 1b, to have a chance of making his second major final table of the series.

Nivel 2 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

In a battle of the blinds between Meir Batyrkhanov and Tobias Peters, there were already 37,000 chips in the pot, with both players staring at a 10♥10♦10♣ flop. From the small blind, Batyrkhanov fired out a bet of 15,000, which Peters called.

The 8♥ landed on the turn and Batyrkhanov didn't waste too much time before shoving for 38,000. Peters sat back in his chair, did some inventory, and then made the call for about a third of his stack.

Meir Batyrkhanov: K♠K♦ All in
Tobias Peters: A♥K♣

Batyrkhanov had the goods with a full house and just had to fade a ten or an ace on the river to double through Peters. The blank 2♥ hit the river and Batyrkhanov earned the double-up.
