One Pair Enough For Koplimaa

OHairDJ

Niveau 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Mircea Flutur opened to 18,000 first-to-act and was called by Markku Koplimaa in the big blind.

Koplimaa check-called an 11,000 bet from Flutur on the K♦2♦5♠ flop and then a hefty 50,000 bet from Flutur on the 10♦ turn.

Both players checked on the 8♠ river and Koplimaa showed K♠3♠ for a pair of kings. Flutur couldn't beat it and mucked — awarding the pot to Koplimaa.

Iftimia Out on Cracked Aces

OHairDJ

Niveau 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Marius Iftimia opened to 16,000 from under the gun and was three-bet to 44,000 by Julio Chia Cabrera in the hijack. Action folded back around to Iftimia, who announced he was all in for around 120,000 total. Cabrera quickly called and hands were revealed.

Marius Iftimia: A♥A♣
Julio Chia Cabrera: J♥J♣

Iftimia was in good shape to double with his rockets, but the 5♠7♦J♦ flop vaulted Cabrera into the lead with a set of jacks.

The 7♠ turn and 8♥ river failed to improve Iftimia and he was eliminated.

Niveau 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Patrik Antonius opened to 20,000 in the cutoff before Rory Jennings moved all in for 216,000 on the button. Jennings had lost a good portion of his stack in a previous hand and was at risk after Antonius called.

Rory Jennings: A♦10♠
Patrik Antonius: A♠K♣

Jennings could not catch up on the 7♦6♠J♦ flop, but the 2♦ turn brought a flush draw. The dealer then turned over the J♣ on the river, sending Jennings to the rail.

Paawan On The Dark Side Of The Force

MaximeTaldir

Niveau 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Action was caught with Lucas Scafini and Paawan Bansal both all in, but with Bansal at risk for 132,000 chips.

Paawan Bansal: A♦7♠
Lucas Scafini: K♦Q♣

Both players hit a pair on the flop 4♥9♥K♥, but the better one was for Scafini. Bansal could still hope for an ace, a four or a flush to split after the turn 10♥. But the river card was the J♦, and he was eliminated in 133rd place for €15,550.

Patrick Caveriviere: Q♠J♥
Daniel Pastor: J♦J♣

The board ran out Q♥K♠3♥5♠2♥ and Caveriviere made a pair of queens on the flop to secure the double.
