frankvisser

Niveau 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Ion Tabacaru raised to 2,100 from middle position and Takayoshi Nemoto moved all in for 13,400 from the button. Juho Suutari then flat-called from the big blind before Tabacaru four-bet all in himself, covering Suutari's stack of 55,000 chips.

Suutari went deep into the tank but eventually folded once the clock had been called on him, leaving the other two players to show down.

Takayoshi Nemoto: Q♥J♣
Ion Tabacaru: A♥A♦

Upon seeing Tabacaru's aces, Suutari shot up from his chair in relief. Meanwhile, the 7♦8♣6♠Q♠8♠ runout gave the aces little trouble and Nemoto headed towards the exit.

Niveau 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Gregory Zima reraised Maria Lampropulos's early position open to 5,500 from the small blind.

However, the action became clearer when Kajtez five-bet all-in for 38,700. Reyes snap-called.

Matija Kajtez: K♦K♥

Niveau 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

There were 22,000 chips on the board when Luigi D'Alterio checked from the small blind on a completed board of 3♦4♣10♦K♠A♥. Grzegorz Grochulski then made a bet of 10,500 from the cutoff, after which D'Alterio raised all in to 41,600.

Grochulski was agonized by his decision, but eventually put in the call. D'Alterio showed 3♠3♥ for bottom set, and Grochulski was forced to show his A♦J♠ for a pair of aces.

D'Alterio raked in a full double-up while Grochulski was left with less than 13 big blinds.
