MaximeTaldir

Niveau 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

In the small blind, Felix Van Beuningen limped, then called after Mustapha Kanit in the big blind bet 700.

On 9♥K♠10♣, Van Beuningen check-called a continuation-bet of 700. There was no more action on the turn Q♥, as both players checked.

But on the river 7♠, Van Beuningen put a single yellow chip worth 1,000 in front of him. After a few seconds, Kanit called but mucked his cards when Van Beuningen showed K♦2♣.

Niveau 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

With around 5,000 in the pot on a flop of 3♣Q♥5♣, Naji Tannoury bet 2,500 from the button and Dmitry Zakharov called in early position, while Mikhail Zavoloka got out of the way under the gun.

The turn came the 8♥ and Tannoury then moved all in. Zakharov had around 15,500 remaining but gave up his hand as Tannouri showed the 3♠.

"One three. Don't know the other," Tannoury joked as he took the pot.

At the same time at another table, Denis Vitchenko bet 2,500 on a board of 3♦J♦2♣4♥ before Petar Kalev, on the button, raised to 8,500.

Vitchenko called in the small blind and the 6♥ fell on the river. Kalev then fired out 15,500 and Vitchenko tanked for a minute before mucking.

Two Pair For Duta

MaximeTaldir

Niveau 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Under the gun, Anthony Kennedy opened to 600, and was called by Florian Duta in early position, Benny Glaser on the button and Paul Newey in the big blind.

On the flop K♠3♠10♣, Kennedy bet 1,500, but only Duta called. Then on the turn A♠, Kennedy quickly threw 2,000 in front of him.

Duta called again to see the river 2♦ that Kennedy checked. Duta took this opportunity to announce 4,500. Next to him, Kennedy stood up and called. But his cards went into the muck after Duta showed K♦10♦ for two pair.
