Tboss

Niveau 31 : Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante

Agostino Ascone opened 350,000 under the gun and Miroslav Forman called on the button.

The dealer fanned a flop of J♥7♠7♦, and Ascone continued for 400,000. Forman called.

When the K♠ hit the river, Ascone fired a bet of 800,000, and Forman matched his bet.

The 5♣ completed the board on the river, and Ascone bet 700,000. Forman took about 10 seconds before announcing all-in. Ascone went into the tank for about three minutes before time was called. With the floor counting down, he dropped a chip across the line to make the call.

Forman tabled A♥7♥, flopping trip sevens, and Ascone frustratingly splashed his stack across the table while showing A♠K♥.

Niveau 30 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Antonino Venneri opened to 320,000 from under the gun and action folded around to Radek Jantos in the big blind. Jantos announced all in for 3,145,000. Venneri took a moment to count his stack before making the call.

Radek Jantos: A♦K♣
Antonino Venneri: 10♠10♣

Atmaca Cracks Aces in Monster Hand; Busts Borowski

richardhayes

Niveau 30 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

A hugely significant hand has just taken place.

Marcus Borowski opened to 245,000 under the gun and was three-bet to 690,000 by Kirill Burtin in the next seat. Action folded around to Ercan Atmaca on the button, who pondered his options for some time. Atmaca then produced the cold four-bet to 1,600,000.

Back to Borowski, who exhaled deeply before announcing he was all-in for 2,750,000 total. Burtin looked perplexed, and clearly had a decision, as he thought about the position for some time before folding.

The action moved back to Atmaca, who made a quick call, with Borowski at risk.

Marcus Borowski: A♣A♠
Ercan Atmaca: J♦J♠

Atmaca was in trouble, but the 7♠9♣10♦ flop give him additional hope with a straight draw, and sure enough the 8♥ rolled off on the turn to leave Borowski drawing dead.

The 6♠ completed the board, sending a huge pot to Atmaca and resulting in a cruel ending for Borowski.
