WARM-UP ($565)

Sacha Bayard raised to 10,000, only to see Anzhela Vasylenko shove all-in. Bayard called, putting his tournament life at risk.

Sacha Bayard: A♠ T♠

Anzhela Vasylenko: J♣ J♥

The board ran out 2♥ Q♣ 9♠ K♠ 4♣, and without an ace in sight, Bayard was forced to leave the floor as Vasylenko scooped the pot.

Alfie Adam shoved all-in from under the gun for 77,000, and Anzhela Vasylenko, on the button, quickly followed with an all-in of her own — pushing the blinds out of the way and putting Adams at risk.

Alfie Adam: A♥ 8♥

Anzhela Vasylenko: 8♦ 8♠

Vasylenko’s snowmen held firm on the 7♥ 4♣ 9♥ flop, though Adam picked up a flush draw for some life. The J♣ on the turn added potential for a chop, giving Adam a few more outs. But the river blanked, missing all of them, sending Adam to the rail while Vasylenko stacked the pot and chipped up.

The blinds, Anzhela Vasylenko in the small and Hoang Nam Nguyen in the big, decided to join Gagandeep Malik under the gun in a hand after the early-position player bet 1,200.

The flop came 7♣ 4♠ Q♣, and the trio checked.

Vasylenko led with 1,600 on the turn, K♣, and got called by her fellow big blind. Malik decided he'd seen enough of the hand and folded.

Vasylenko bet another 6,200 on the river, 8♥, and Nguyen decided he wanted to see her hand and called.

Vasylenko showed J♣ 9♣ for the flus. Nguyen mucked, leaving the table to wonder what he could have possibly had on that hand.

Alfie Adams raised to 1,200 under the gun and was met with an unexpected response — four callers from the unknown lowjack, Anzhela Vasylenko in the cutoff, Hoang Nam Nguyen on the button, and Gagandeep Malik. Unimpressed by the growing pot, Hoang Nguyen decided to take control with a three-bet to 8,500, forcing all the other players to fold.

Jo Seng Mok opened to 500 in late position and got called by Anzhela Valysenko to his left. Khin Naing, with other plans, three-bet to 2,000 making Mok fold. Vasylenko called to see the flop.

Vasylenko checked the Q♥ 2♥ 2♦ flop. Naing kept the pressure with a 5,000 bet forcing Vasylenko to fold.
