OHairDJ

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

Teun Mulder opened to 9,000 from middle position and was called by Jose Gonzalez in the cutoff. Samuel Bifarella squeezed to 102,000 from the small blind, leaving himself just 4,000 behind, which got a call from Mulder and a fold from Gonzalez.

Gonzalez checked to Mulder, who bet enough to put Bifarella all in. Bifarella called and hands were revealed.

Samuel Bifarella: 9♥9♦
Teun Mulder: A♣A♥

The A♦Q♦9♠ flop gave both players a set and left Bifarella drawing to quads or a runner-runner flush.

It wasn't meant to be, however, as the 5♠ turn and 8♦ river bricked out for Bifarella and he was sent to the payout desk.

Matrige Bubbles Main Event

PatrickCole

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

Boris Pesic opened the cutoff to 16,000. The button and small blind folded.

Sebastien Matrige, who had almost have his stack in the middle in big blind and ante, peeled his cards before placing his remaining 9,000 chips, into the pot.

Pesic called for 1,000 more. The two players turned over their cards as the cameras gathered.

Sebastien Matrige: A♦Q♦
Boris Pesic: 6♦6♠

The flop of 8♣8♥4♣ was clean for Pesic's pocket pair, and Matrige needed an ace or a queen to win.

The 2♣ meant that the remaining players were one card away from cashing in this record-breaking Main Event.

Matrige's fate was sealed on the 9♦ river. He tapped the table and bumped fists with his fellow table mates as he left the table.

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

Vitezslav Cech shoved for his last 33,000 from the hijack and was called by Tamas Adamszki in the hijack to put Cech at risk.

Tamas Adamszki: Q♦Q♣

Cech was in good shape to double up, but the 5♠8♠Q♥ flop vaulted Adamszki into the lead with a set of queens.

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

Heads-up on a board of 9♥6♠10♠7♠, Arthur Thiriart bet 8,000 from the small blind and Patrik Zidek called in early position.

The river was the 4♣ and Thiriart fired out 65,000. Zidek tanked for several minutes as cameras began to surround the table, with this being the last hand remaining in the room.

Zidek eventually called and Thiriart turned over K♠Q♠ for a flush. Zidek tossed pocket sevens into the muck, his turned set not enough to avoid handing over the big pot to Thiriart.
