Efe Gets Massive Double Through Pepping

Niveau 30 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Roelof Pepping opened the cutoff to 240,000 before the action made it to Aziz Efe who defended his big blind.

The 7♦7♥J♦ flop hit the felt and Efe checked it over to Pepping who put out a bet of 150,000. Efe took a moment and then put in a check-raise to 425,000.

Pepping thought it over, looked at the dealer, and announced he was all in. Efe snap called.

Aziz Efe: Q♦10♦
Roelof Pepping: K♣J♣

Pepping was in the lead but Efe had plenty of outs. The 9♠ turn gave him even more in the form of a combo draw. He was looking for a diamond, king, or eight to complete his straight or flush. Luckily he drilled both a straight and a flush in the form of a K♦ river.

Efe got a pure double and Pepping was left with only about six blinds.

Nader Drills the River

Niveau 29 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Valeriy Pak opened in late position to 225,000 before the action made it to Alfred Nader in the big blind who peeked at his cards, took a moment, and then flat called.

The A♥5♦10♦ flop hit the felt and Nader took almost no time before announcing he was all in. Action was on Pak who also didn't waste anyone's time with a count and flicked in a call.

Alfred Nader: Q♦8♦
Valeriy Pak: A♣9♦

Nader needed some help in the form of a diamond or running cards. The dealer did not bring help on the 6♥ turn but Nader drilled the 3♦ on the river to earn the pure double.

He now sits with a workable stack and got some much needed breathing room.
