Olivieri Busts on Brutal Bubble

Livello 19 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

It was a brutal bubble. The kind that has the whole room gasping and the loosing player shouting out curses. Kazuhiko Yotsushika raised to middle position, Enrico Olivieri moved all for 116,000 and Yotsushika called.

Enrico Olivieri: A♣A♠ All in
Kazuhiko Yotsushika: K♣7♥

The board ran out 6♠3♦7♦6♣7♠. Yotsushika paired his seven on the flop. A tension built, as if players somehow knew what was coming. The river brought another seven, giving Yotsushika a full house with the sixes on board.

"F****CK!", shouted Olivieri. There were no cheers as the bubble burst. Only gasps. The rest of the 63 players made it through to Day 2.

Troyanovskiy Falls to Yotsushika

Livello 14 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

With three players seeing a board of J♣2♣10♥ and roughly 15,000 in the middle, Thierry Morel checked from the big blind, Vladimir Troyanovskiy bet 8,000 from under the gun, Kazuhiko Yotsushika called from middle position and Morel got out of the way.

Troyanovskiy bet again when checked to on the 6♥ turn, this time for 16,000. Once again Yotsushika made the call.

On the 7♥ river Troyanovskiy checked and Yotsushika moved all in, covering Troyanovskiy who had roughly 30,000 behind. Troyanovskiy made the call.

Yotsushika only had K♠2♠ for bottom pair, presumably turned into a bluff. Bottom pair was good at showdown as Troyanovskiy had made a hero call at the wrong time with A♦K♣ for just ace-high and was sent to the rail while Yotsushika took down a sizable pot.

Livello 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Action was on the river on a board of 4♠K♠Q♦8♦7♠. Jack O'Neill checked and Mathieu Di Meglio moved all in for the rest of his opponent's stack, around 40,000 effective, which was a little over the size of the pot.

O'Neill went into the tank before eventually flicking in a chip to signify the call. He showed Q♠J♥ for a pair of queens. Di Meglio wasn't bluffing though. He turned A♠5♠ for the rivered nut flush to win the pot and bust O'Neill from the tournament.
