Alilovic and Cimbolas Active

Level 30 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

Matas Cimbolas raised to 170,000 from under the gun and was called by Miroslav Alilovic on the cutoff as well as Antoine Rahal on the button. On a flop of {3-Hearts}?{3-Spades}?{3-Clubs}, the Lithuanian bet 205,000 and took down the pot uncontested.

Moments later, Cimbolas defended his big blind against a raise to 180,000 by Alilovic and Diego Aranzadi also stuck around from the small blind. On the {3-Clubs}?{7-Diamonds}?{2-Hearts} flop, the action was checked to Alilovic and he made a bet of 150,000. Only Cimbolas called and then check-folded to the second barrel worth 350,000 when the {Q-Diamonds} appeared on the turn.

Even Stack for Manquant and Aranzadi

Level 29 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante

Diego Aranzadi raised to 125,000 and was called by Ricardo Manquant in the big blind. On a flop of {5-Spades}?{7-Spades}?{3-Spades}, Manquant check-raised all in and Aranzadi called for 670,000 effectively after putting in a continuation bet of 160,000.

Aranzadi: {J-Spades}?{J-Clubs}
Manquant: {6-Spades}?{7-Clubs}

The {J-Hearts} turn and {9-Spades} river failed to improve Manquant and both players now have an almost identical stack.

Back to the Drawing Board for Cimbolas

Level 29 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante

Until the river of a {K-Spades}?{Q-Hearts}?{K-Diamonds}?{2-Diamonds}?{J-Hearts} board, a quite large pot emerged between Matas Cimbolas in the small blind and initial preflop aggressor Miroslav Alilovic from early position. Cimbolas bet 565,000 and Alilovic spent a long time to make a decision.

Cimbolas called the clock on him and with three seconds left in the one minute of consideration, Alilovic called and Cimbolas immediately tapped the table before flipping over his {A-Spades}?{9-Spades}. Alilovic took down the pot with {Q-Diamonds}?{10-Hearts}.

Aranzadi Makes Boom

Level 29 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante

Diego Aranzadi three-bet shoved for 550,000 and initial raiser Miroslav Alilovic called, tabling the {A-Diamonds}?{Q-Spades}. In the previous all in situations, Aranzadi went away from the table to avoid the drama and did so again, being at risk with {K-Spades}?{J-Clubs}.

On the {10-Hearts}?{10-Diamonds}?{5-Diamonds} flop, Matas Cimbolas remarked "that is not the best flop" and the {7-Clubs} turn changed nothing. Now, Aranzadi returned to the tabled and said to the dealer and the board one single word: Boom. Sure enough the dealer burned and turned the {J-Diamonds} river, triggering a much louder "BOOOOOMMMM" from Aranzadi and his rail.

Double up.

Too Deep to Shove

Level 29 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante

Joining the action on a three-way flop of {K-Spades}?{8-Clubs}?{9-Diamonds}, Matas Cimbolas checked and then folded after Miroslav Alilovic had bet 130,000 and was called only by Najib Bennis. On the {2-Spades} turn, Alilovic bet another 170,000 and was called before both opponents then checked down the {Q-Clubs} river.

Bennis held {10-Clubs}?{10-Hearts} but that ended up second best to the {A-Clubs}?{A-Diamonds} of Alilovic.
