Caceres' Creativity Costs Him Against Joyce

dsalituro

Niveau 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Marcelo Caceres and Philip Joyce were heads-up on a board of 10♥Q♠K♠9♦3♠ and around 20,000 in the middle when Caceres, in the small blind, moved all in for 16,100.

Joyce went into the tank for several minutes, constantly rechecking and recapping his cards. "Will you show if I fold," he asked Caceres.

"I don't think I can fold," Joyce muttered to himself before another player at the table called the clock. Joyce stood up from his seat and kneeled on his chair, leaning over the table, before he finally committed the chips.

Caceres showed Q♦2♣ for a pair of queens and Joyce turned over Q♥Q♠ for a set to send him to the rail. According to Ian Bradley at the table, Caceres had five-bet preflop then bet on the flop before both players checked the turn.

Niveau 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

Stefan Peukert raised to 700 from under the gun and received one caller before Carlo De Oliveira Finger, in the small blind, three-bet to 3,700. Only Peukert called.

The flop came J♣6♣10♠ and Finger led out for another 3,700. Peukert then moved all in and Finger called for his last 5,000.

Carlo De Oliveira Finger: 10♥10♦
Stefan Peukert: A♣Q♣

Finger had flopped a set but needed to dodge Peukert's straight and flush draws. The 8♠ turn was safe, but the K♣ on the river gave Peukert the nut flush and sent Finger to the rail.

Niveau 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Erik Seidel opened to 800 from under the gun and Fintan Hand called on the button before Ettore Esposito three-bet to 4,300 in the small blind. Seidel called and Hand folded.

Erik Seidel: 9♠8♠
Ettore Esposito: K♣K♠

Seidel had top pair and an open-ended straight draw but couldn't crack the kings of Esposito as the Q♠ river bricked off to mark the Poker Hall of Famer's elimination.

connorrichards

Niveau 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

There was a roller-coaster runout at Table 111 as Adrian Dan moved all in on the flop of 4♣4♦4♥ and Conor Beresford called with a bigger stack.

Adrian Dan: A♣6♠
Conor Beresford: 6♥6♣

Beresford was a big lead to win the hand with a full house, but the A♥ on the turn gave Dan the lead with a better full house. However, the dealer then put down the case 6♦ on the river to give Beresford sixes full to send Dan to the rail.

Christopher Dowling opened to 1,200 from the cutoff and was called by Antonino Venneri on the button and Nacho Barbero in the big blind.

Nacho Barbero: A♦5♠
Antonino Venneri: K♣10♣
Christopher Dowling: A♥K♦

Dowling held the lead with Big Slick and maintained it on the 9♦ turn; however, the 4♣ river gave Venneri a winning flush for the triple up and elimination of Barbero.

Niveau 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

Jens-Florian Muller opened to 1,200 first-to-act and was called by Alexandre Le Vaillant in the small blind and Gerardus Englebert in the big blind.

Le Vaillant checked to Englebert on the Q♣J♦5♦ flop and he bet 1,500. Both Le Vaillant and Muller called.

The 7♣ fell on the turn and it was checked to Muller, who bet 3,800. Le Vaillant called all in for his last 3,000 and Englebert called as well.

Englebert then check-called a 10,000 bet from Muller on the 7♠ river and Muller showed 5♥5♣ for fives-full of sevens. Englebert held the J♠10♥ and Le Vaillant mucked — eliminating him from contention.
