Baroudi's Min-Raise Spells His Demise

frankvisser

Niveau 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Emile Baroudi and Miguel Abad were battling heads up over a 6,800-chip pot. Baroudi checked from the big blind on the 7♥9♠6♣A♣ board before Abad made a bet of 3,000.

Baroudi clicked it back to 6,000 and Abad called. The 7♣ river then completed the board and Baroudi bet another 6,000.

It was Abad's turn to raise as he put in 24,000, just enough to cover his opponent's stack. A snap-call followed and Abad showed Baroudi K♣4♣ for a rivered flush.

Baroudi showed his 10♦8♦ in frustration, showing that his flopped straight got cracked. After the stacks were counted, he left the tournament area while Abad virtually doubled up.

Mohamed Aissaoui: 9♠9♦
Dragoljub Martinovic: A♠A♥

Aissaoui called with a pair higher than the board but ran into Martinovic's aces. After the turn 8♥ and the river Q♥, Aissaoui was eliminated.

Tboss

Niveau 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Three players saw the A♥J♦5♠ flop, and Malik Nouri checked before Gary Whitehead tossed a bet of 2,600 into the pot of 6,300. Roberto Begni was next to act and made the call before Nouri released his hand.

The A♠ fell on the turn and Whitehead continued for 5,600. Begni pushed his entire stack of about 29,000 across the line, putting Whitehead into the tank for almost two minutes. Eventually, Whitehead called off his stack of roughly 20,000 and both hands were on their backs.

Gary Whitehead: A♣6♣
Roberto Begni: 5♣5♦

It was a nasty turn for Whitehead as he made trip aces, but Begni was in the lead with his fives full of aces. The 7♣ river changed nothing as Whitehead exited the table.
