Peter Jaksland raised to 500 in middle position only to see Eike Wonsak three-bet to 1,500. The rest of the table folded before Jaksland made the call.
Jaksland checked the 7♥3♥8♣ flop, then folded quickly once Wonsak continued for 1,500 to take down the pot.
Samy Abdel Santamaria opened to 400 from the hijack and Juan Gomez Moya three-bet to 1,400 from the button. Santamaria responded by moving all in for his last 5,900 and Moya quickly called to put Santamaria at risk.
Samy Abdel Santamaria: 10♥10♣
Juan Gomez Moya: 9♠9♥
Santamaria was ahead with the slightly higher pocket pair and remained so on the J♣Q♦5♦5♠4♥ runout to secure a full double up at Moya's expense.
The Oracle Red Bull Formula One racing team released a promotional video ahead of November’s Las Vegas Grand Prix and it's an action-packed preview of what F1 has to offer when it invades the Strip this fall.
Readers might remember hearing about the race car tearing through the Wynn Las Vegas last November. It appears that was part of the production for Red Bull's epic race through Las Vegas.
Remi Parpillon opened to 800 on the button and called when Max Avela three-bet to 3,100 in the big blind.
Avela led out for 1,500 on the 8♦2♣A♠ flop before both players checked the K♥ turn.
Avela slid out a minimum bet of 200 on the 7♦ river, but was quickly facing a decision after Parpillon raised to 6,700. Avela took a few minutes before making the fold, with Parpillon raking in the pot.
With players heads up, the board reading Q♠K♣5♠3♦, and about 6,000 in the pot, Mohamed Zazri bet 3,300 from the small blind and was called by Tullio Bertoli on the button.
Zazri bet again on the 6♠ river, this time for 4,500. Bertoli moved all in for approximately 17,000, sending Zazri deep into the tank.
After about three minutes, Zazri made the fold. Bertoli showed the 10♣ in his hand, indicating that he had one pair, at best. Zazri shook his head in frustration as Bertoli dragged in the pot.
Marc Poustis raised to 800 in the cutoff. Behrad Saboonchi and Stylianos Kollatos called and saw a flop of 4♦7♠10♥, which was checked through by all players.
The 4♣ landed on the turn and Saboonchi bet 1,000. That forced Kollatos out of the hand, but Poustis opted to call and see the river.
Saboonchi kept up the pressure on the 9♦ river, betting 1,200. That bet was enough to induce a quick fold from Poustis.
Ion Stanica opened to 700 from early position and received calls from Ricard Gonzalez in middle position, Slimane Mameche on the button, Alexandre Mitjavila in the small blind and Babak Nasrollahzadeh in the big blind.
The flop came K♦J♠8♥ and action checked all the way around to Mameche on the button, who bet 1,600. Mitjavila and Nasrollahzadeh got out of the way before Stanica put in a check-raise to 3,800. Gonzales opted to fold bringing the action back on Mameche.
"Queen-Jack no good huh?" Mameche asked his opponent, while pondering his decision.
"Did you check the king?" Mameche continued.
Eventually, Mameche chose to fold, showing the J♦ in his hand, and Stanica scooped up a decent pot without showdown.
