Nektarios Vasilakis: A♦J♥

Niveau 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Gino Cardenas opened to 1,500 from the hijack and was three-bet to 3,500 by John Juanda on the button. Alexandre Amiel then made it 11,600 to go from the big blind and Cardenas shoved for 22,500 total. Juanda got out of the way, but Amiel said, "I'm not happy, but I call," as he put in calling chips.

Gino Cardenas: A♥A♠
Alexandre Amiel: A♣K♠

Cardenas was on the right side of a preflop cooler and the 7♥3♦2♠6♦3♥ runout gave Cardenas a sweat-free double up.

Double Up For Vargas

MaximeTaldir

Niveau 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

After an open in middle position by Marko Tokic, called by Maxime Colom on the button, Alexandre Vargas moved all in from the big blind for 9,100. Tokic called, but Colom folded.

Alexandre Vargas: A♥J♥
Marko Tokic: K♥Q♦

Vargas looked away so he couldn't see the flop 5♣4♣4♥ and the turn 8♥. But he turned his head on the river 2♥ and discovered that he hit a runner-runner flush to double up.

Maio Leaves Seidel Short

OHairDJ

Niveau 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Ricardo Maio raised to 1,300 on the button and was three-bet to 5,300 by Erik Seidel in the small blind. Action folded back to Maio, who called.

Moraes called a 4,500 bet from Seidel on the 3♦6♠2♠ flop and a 10,000 bet from Seidel on the 6♦ turn.

Seidel slowed down and checked on the 5♦ river, which brought both a flush and a four-liner to a straight. Maio announced he was all in, which was enough to put Seidel all in for his last 13,800. Seidel tanked for a while, but eventually thought better of it and let his hand go and Maio collected the pot without showing.

Seire Chops to Stay Alive

connorrichards

Niveau 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Lucas Seire open-jammed a stack of around 11,000 from middle position and Roberto Rodriguez called in the big blind with a bigger stack.

Lucas Seire: A♣3♣
Roberto Rodriguez: 3♠3♥

Rodriguez' threes were still ahead on the flop of 5♦5♠5♥, but the runout of 3♦9♣ brought the case three for the two to chop the pot with fives full of threes. The dealer started pushing the pot toward Seire before the table pointed out it was a chop.

"I was trying to think how I won; I didn't find a way," laughed Seire.
