AndrewK47

Niveau 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

The action folded around to Marius Kudzmanas in the small blind who bumped things up to 10,500 and Enrico Camosci made the call in the big blind.

On the flop of A♥Q♠7♣ Kudzmanas continued for 6,000 and Camosci came along. The turn came the J♣ and both players checked their options to the 5♥ river, where again play went check-check.

Kudzmanas tabled Q♦9♠ for a pair of queens and took down the pot when Camosci tossed his cards into the muck.

Sitbon Tells A Story

frankvisser

Niveau 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Julien Sitbon came to the PokerNews desk on the break to share his bust-out hand. Apparently, Seth Davies opened to 7,000 from early position before Masashi Oya made the three-bet to 22,000. Sitbon then cold four-bet to 54,000.

Davies folded, but the preflop action did not end there as Oya put in the five-bet to 100,000 before Sitbon capped the betting when he wagered all of his 190,000 chips. Oya put in the call and the two players flipped over their cards in this six-bet pot.

Julien Sitbon: AxAx
Masashi Oya: KxKx

Sitbon only had to fade a king to ascend to the chip leader's residence and he seemed to successfully do so on the 7x5x4x flop. However, the turn was a devastating Kx and the river 3x remained free of aces.

Sitbon was eliminated, while Oya scored a huge pot to chip up to over ten starting stacks.

Mikolaitis Puts Kolonias To The Ultimate Test

AndrewK47

Niveau 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

The action folded around to Alexandros Kolonias in the small blind who limped in for 4,000 and Dominykas Mikolaitis bumped it up to 12,000 in the big blind, which Kolonias called.

The flop fanned out J♥9♦2♣ and both players checked to the 5♦ turn. Kolonias took the lead with a bet of 10,000, and Mikolaitis came along.

The 3♣ completed the board and Kolonias bet again, this time to 15,000. Mikolaitis pondered for a moment before announcing all in, covering the 53,000 behind for Kolonias, who went deep in the tank.

After close to a minute of thought, Kolonias let his cards go and the pot was sent to Mikolaitis who moved over the half a million chip mark.

Bedell Takes Three-Way Pot

Niveau 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Nick Petrangelo raised to 8,000 from late position and Ramon Colillas called from the cutoff before Tom-Aksel Bedell jumped in from the button. The blinds got out of the way and action was three ways.

The flop was K♦J♣3♣ and Petrangelo bet 12,000. Colillas called and Bedell came along to see a turn.

All three players checked down the 5♠ turn and 4♠ before Bedell turned over 7♣7♠ to take the pot with a pocket pair.

Pardo Plays Small-Ball

frankvisser

Niveau 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Makkos Ladev raised to 8,000 from under the gun and the action folded all the way to Juan Pardo in the big blind. He made it 32,000 to go and Ladev called after some pondering.

The flop fell K♦2♦7♦ and Pardo put out a tiny bet of 7,000. Ladev called and did the same for Pardo's 9,000 bet on the 10♠ turn.

The 9♣ river came about and Pardo used one time bank chip before putting in a third barrel of 15,000, only half the size of his preflop raise. Ladev could not lay his hand down for that sizing and made the call.

Pardo showed Q♦Q♣ and the pocket pair was good enough to take down the pot.

O'Dwyer Scores Massive Double Up

AndrewK47

Niveau 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

All the chips hit the middle preflop between Manig Loeser on the button and Steve O'Dwyer in the big blind, who was the player at risk for his stack of 191,000.

Steve O'Dwyer: 10♦10♥
Manig Loeser: A♣K♥

It was a classic coin-flip situation, and when the flop came 8♥4♥3♥, made it even more sweaty for O'Dwyer when Loeser picked up a flush draw to go along with his two overs.

The turn fell the 10♣ to give O'Dwyer a set, but he would still need to dodge a heart on the river to stay alive. The 4♣ completed the board and O'Dwyer's tens held up to score the massive double up off Loeser.

Joueur	Jetons	Progression
Steve O'Dwyer	415,000 112,500	112,500

Manig Loeser	120,000 -63,000	-63,000
