a_sad_goat

Niveau 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

With the board reading 8♥K♦4♠ and about 85,000 in the middle, Patrik Antonius checked from the big blind and Francesco Pilato bet 15,000 from early position. Pakinai Lisawad made the call before Antonius put in a check-raise to 105,000. Pilato folded and Lisawad called leaving players heads up going to the turn.

On the 9♥ turn Antonius moved all in and Lisawad snap-called with a covering stack.

Patrik Antonius: J♣8♣
Pakinai Lisawad: 4♣4♦

Antonius' two pair was in bad shape against Lisawad who had flopped bottom set. He failed to fill up on the Q♥ river, ending his deep run while Lisawad collected the last of his chips.

Lofberg Takes From Nouira

MaximeTaldir

Niveau 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Under the gun, Simon Lofberg raised and was called only once, by Maher Nouira in the cutoff.

Both players checked on the flop 8♠6♦A♥ and moved on to the turn 9♣, where they checked again. A second nine, the 9♦, came on the river. And this time, Lofberg took a few chips from his stack to bet 115,000.

Nouira went into the tank and eventually called. But he mucked his cards when Lofberg revealed A♣5♣ for a pair of aces.

Bruel Flops a Set in All-In Preflop

Tboss

Niveau 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Patrick Bruel limped under the gun as did Vladas Tamasauskas in the small blind before Andras Nemeth raised to 100,000 in the big blind. Bruel then jammed for 375,000 and Tamasauskas snap-folded while Nemeth called.

Patrick Bruel: 5♥5♦
Andras Nemeth: A♦K♥

It was a coin-flip and the K♠5♠2♠ flop connected with both players, Bruel flopping the best of it with a set. The 9♠ turn and Q♦ river meant Bruel could remain seated as he dragged in the double.

On a flop of 8♦6♦4♦, Roberto Sagra was in the big blind shoved for 250,000, and Francesco Pilato snap-called.

Roberto Sagra: 7♣5♥
Francesco Pilato: A♦10♦

Sagra flopped a straight, but he was unfortunately drawing dead as Pilato flopped the nut-flush. The 9♣ turn and 8♠ river were just a formality as Sagra exited the tournament.

Niveau 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Roberto Sagra moved all in from middle position for his last 140,000 and Vlad Darie called from the big blind to put him at risk.

Roberto Sagra: Q♠10♦
Vlad Darie: 9♣9♥

The board ran out 10♣4♦6♣8♦A♣. Sagra's pair of tens was good for the winner and he received a full double up, getting back some of the chips he had lost to Darie moments earlier.

Shevliakov Doubles Through Lofberg

Tboss

Niveau 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Aleksandr Shevliakov raised 40,000 in the hijack and Simon Lofberg three-bet 85,000 next to act. The action folded back to Shevliakov and he jammed for 245,000. Lofberg wasted no time putting in a call and both hands were turned on their backs.

Aleksandr Shevliakov: 10♦10♠
Simon Lofberg: A♦K♦

It was a classic race and the J♠4♠3♣6♣2♦ run out missed both players for Shevliakov's tens to hold.

With the board reading K♣10♦4♦7♥, Vlad Darie found himself all in and at risk on the button against Roberto Sagra in the big blind.

Vlad Darie: J♦8♦
Roberto Sagra: 10♠7♦

Vladas Tamasauskas opened 40,000 in early position and Hwany Lee called on the button before Toby Joyce came along in the big blind.

When the Q♣Q♠10♦ flop hit the felt, the action checked to Lee who bet 30,000. Only Tamasauskas called.

The 5♠ fell on the turn and Tamasauskas check-called another bet, this time Lee fired 90,000.

On the 9♣ river, Tamasauskas checked for a final time and Lee stacked up some green chips on top of his greys and pushed a bet of 175,000 across the line. Tamasauskas took almost 30 seconds before pushing his cards into the centre.

Another One for Yaroshevskyy

Tboss

Niveau 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Jeferson Pinow opened 40,000 under the gun and Nicholas Palma called in the hijack before Igor Yaroshevskyy came along in the big blind.

The dealer spread a flop of K♦3♣2♦, and Yaroshevskyy check-called a bet of 55,000 from Pinow, while Palma folded.

The 3♦ fell on the turn, and Yaroshevskyy took the lead, firing 85,000 into the middle and Pinow called.

When the J♠ completed the board, Yaroshevskyy continued to bet, this time 45,000 and Pinow snap-called.

Yaroshevskyy tabled K♠Q♥ for top two pair, and Pinow mucked his hand.
