connorrichards

Niveau 19 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Gabriel Moura had lost most of his chips in a previous hand and got the rest of his short stack in the middle to see a flop four ways.

The flop came and Igor Pihela led out for 150,000 from the big blind. Anton Suarez folded, leading Joris Ruijs to raise to 350,000. Pihela responded with a three-bet jam and Ruijs snapped him off with his stack of 1,100,000.

Gabriel Moura:
Joris Ruijs:
Igor Pihela:

Ruijs was ahead with the flopped set but needed to dodge spades as Pihela had a flush draw, while Moura had little hopes of winning the main pot. Neither the turn nor river brought spades and Ruijs scooped the main pot and a huge side pot to take a commanding lead, while Moura was eliminated in ninth place.

BrandonBloom

Dimitar Danchev had gotten his remaining short stack of approximately 160,000 in and was at risk against Bruno Volkmann.

Dimitar Danchev:
Bruno Volkmann:

The flop improved Volkmann to a set and left Danchev with hope as he had a flush draw, but the turn gave Volkmann a boat, and the inconsequential river eliminated Danchev in 10th place.
