Niveau 19 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Sebastian Ebbero was all in for around 100,000 against the bigger-stacked Santiago Plante.

Sebastian Ebbero: A♠K♥
Santiago Plante: K♣Q♣

Ebbero was in great shape to double and Plante pretended to fold as he saw he was dominated. The flop then landed Q♦9♥10♥ to give Plante the lead and Ebbero wasn't saved by the 7♣3♠ runout.

Santiago Plante raised to 20,000 from under the gun and Dennys Ramos called from the cutoff before Walter Ripper came along from the big blind.

The flop was Q♦5♦6♣ and Ripper checked to a bet of 20,000 from Plante. Ramos got away quickly and Ripper gave it a moment of thought, but it was too much for the Brazilian and he tossed it in the muck.

Niveau 19 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

From under the gun, Rachid El Yaacoubi bet 20,000. He was called by Mircea Flutur in the cutoff and by the small blind.

The dealer fanned a flop of 7♥6♦6♥, and El Yaacoubi made a continuation bet of 35,000. But this time, only Flutur called to find the 4♦ on the turn.

El Yaacoubi checked this time, and saw Flutur bet 65,000. After some time, El Yaacoubi called, and he checked again on the river 8♦. Flutur took this opportunity to bet 95,000. El Yaacoubi waited a few seconds and called. However, he kept his cards face down when Flutur revealed A♥J♥.

"Why did you bet?" said El Yaacoubi after the hand. "If I have a pair, I call, no?" he added. Flutur looked at him but didn't answer.

Action folded around to the blinds, where Gustavo Oliveira called from the small blind and Alessio Di Cesare raised to 37,000 from the big blind. Oliveira called.

Oliveira check-called a 55,000 bet from Cesare on the 7♦10♥5♥ flop and then both players checked on the Q♠ turn.

The 5♣ completed the board and Oliveira checked a final time. Cesare bet 65,000 and Oliveira called instantly. Cesare indicated Oliveira was good and Oliveira showed 7♥6♠ for sevens and fives. Cesare mucked and Oliveira added to his stack.

Kim De Sousa opened to 20,000 from early position. In the cutoff, Jose Valls decided to three-bet all in for 140,000 chips. The button and the blinds folded, and De Sousa called.
