Donchev Needs His Opponent to Hit Top Pair

Niveau 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

The action folded all the way to Fedor Dedelov on the button who bet 1,200. The small blind folded and action was on Vladislav Donchev in the big blind. After a few moments of thought he announced he was all in for about 11,500.

Dedelov didn't waste much time and put in the remaining chips to put Donchev at risk.

Vladislav Donchev: A♠8♣
Fedor Dedelov: A♥J♠

The 9♦7♣10♣ flop landed giving both players a straight draw. Donchev was now looking for his opponent to drill top pair and complete his straight. The dealer came with the help and put the J♦ right on the turn.

The 5♣ river would not bail out Dedelov and Donchev got the double-up to gain some life back in the event after getting it in bad and sucking-out.

Fast Over-Bets the Turn

Niveau 4 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

Andreas Tomazou opened in late position to 1,200 and got a call from Dietrich Fast in the cutoff and Kerem Turuskan in the small blind.

The Q♣6♦J♠ flop landed and action checked all the way to Fast in the cutoff who put out a bet of 800. Turuskan called but Tomazou got out of the way.

The dealer burned and turned the 5♠ and action quickly checked over to Fast who sat in the tank for about a minute before opting to put in an over-bet with a sizing of 8,000.

Turuskan pondered a call but eventually thought better of it and mucked. Fast used his big stack and a large sizing to drag a big pot with little resistance.

Ghaedi Hops on the Four-Bet Express

Niveau 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Bergutay Erkal opened under the gun to 800 before Bojan Berberovic put in a three-bet to 2,500 from middle position. Action then moved to Behrouz Ghaedi on the button who took his time before putting in another raise. The sizing he choose was 7,500 and action folded all the way back to Erkal.

He sat in the tank for a moment but found a fold fairly quickly. Over to Berberovic who also appeared to be in a tough spot. After a few minutes he also decided to look for a better spot and returned his cards to the dealer.

Ghaedi scooped a healthy pot to move over starting stack with a well-time four-bet and didn't even need to see a flop.

Behrouz Ghaedi	38,000 38,000	38,000

Solak Springs the Trap

Niveau 2 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

Gary Miller opened under the gun to 700. He got a call from Mustapha Kanit on the button, Serken Solak in the small blind, and Hael Al Labani in the big blind. They were off to a flop four ways.

The 4♦J♥3♣ flop hit the felt and action checked to Miller who continued for 1,800. Kanit called on the button before Solak put in a check-raise to 5,100. Al Labani and Miller both got out of the way but Kanit seemed to have enough to complete on the button and threw in the rest of the chips.

The A♣ landed on the turn and without thinking for too long Solak moved all in for 10,800. Kanit thought it over for a few minutes an eventually found a call. Unfortunately, he got some bad news when the cards were tabled.

Serken Solak: K♦K♣
Mustapha Kanit: 8♣8♥

Kanit was looking for help in the form of an eight but the rescue-card would not come as the dealer put out the 10♣ on the river.

Solak earned the pure double and Kanit was left with a crippled stack early in the day.

Joueur	Jetons	Progression
Serken Solak	61,000
Gary Miller	22,600
