Set Over Set Sees Staudacher Sent Home

Weiss

Niveau 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Middle position started the action, making it 10,000. Maxim Staudacher in the cutoff then shoved for 73,000. After some deliberation, Nemanja Lukovic re-shoved in the big blind. Middle position tanked for a short while before folding and we went heads up to the flop with the German's tournament life at risk.

Maxim Staudacher: 9♣9♦
Nemanja Lukovic: K♣K♠

The table gave out a collective gasp as the 8♥K♥9♥ flop landed, giving both players a set.

Staudacher was still way behind as the 5♠ came on the turn, needing the remaining nine to come.

It didn't, and the 2♣ river condemned Staudacher to the rail, while Lukovic chipped up close to average stack.

A Small One for Alibas

MaximeTaldir

Niveau 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

After Michal Mrakes opened to 10,000 from middle position, Salim Alibas called from the small blind and he was the only one to do so.

Mrakes continued with a bet of 12,000 on the 8♠5♥J♦ flop, and Alibas quickly called. Both players decided to check on the turn A♦. There was no more action on the river J♥, as Mrakes and Alibas checked again.

First player to reveal his cards, Alibas showed A♠6♠. Mrakes mucked his cards, so Alibas scooped the pot to reach 300,000 chips.

Ardelean Aggression Leaves Nader Short

Weiss

Niveau 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Renato Ardelean opened the action, making it 11,000 from under the gun. His only caller was Alfred Nader in middle position and it went heads up to the flop.

It came 4♦2♠9♠ and Nader checked. Ardelean bet 8,000, and the Lebanese just called.

Nader once again checked as a 2♥ landed on the turn, before the Romanian made it 30,000. Nader, who had just 43,000 behind in total, reluctantly folded, slowly pushing his cards to the muck.

Ardelean added to his large stack, while Nader was left dangerously short.

Michele D'Angelo opened 9,000 in middle position and Tomas Hajek called in the hijack before Wim Verhaegen came along in the big blind.

When the A♦8♥7♥ flop hit the felt, both Verhaegen and D'Angelo checked and Hajek fired a bet of 13,000 which was enough to pull in the pot.

Enguerran Freslon: Q♣7♠
Pascal Brechot: A♥J♦

Unfortunatelly for Freslon, Brechot had a good hand in the big blind. There was no surprise on the 4♥4♣J♥10♦2♦ board, so Freslon was eliminated.

Raillo Sent to the Rail

Weiss

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

Samuel Ferron shoved all in after it folded around to him on the button. The small blind folded and Italo Raillo, who was short in the big blind, had a tough decision to make. He eventually called with sixes and was left frustrated, seeing Ferron table a pair of sevens.

Italo Raillo: 6♠6♦
Samuel Ferron: 7♥7♣

Ferron hit a set on the 9♦10♦7♠ flop, meaning Raillo needed an eight to land to give him a straight or hit running diamonds for a flush.

The A♠ turn put Raillo on the brink of elimination before the river.

It came 5♦, sending the Italian to the rail and leaving Ferron with an impressive 252,000.
