O'Neill Scores Massive Double up Against Eljach

OHairDJ

Niveau 19 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Padraig O'Neill had already opened on the button and Omar Eljach had a three-bet of 120,000 in front of him, which O'Neill called.

Eljach continued for 40,000 on the 4♠A♥8♣ flop and O'Neill called.

The 10♥ came on the turn and Eljach check-called a 100,000 bet from O'Neill.

Eljach checked a final time after the 9♦ completed the board and O'Neill announced he was all in for 332,000 total — sending Eljach deep into the tank.

Eljach burned up a few of his time extensions, but eventually decided to call. O'Neill tabled 8♦8♠ for a set of eights, which was best against Eljach's Ax2x for the large double up.

Niveau 19 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

With only 270,000 left, Regonaschi waited a few seconds, and folded.

Niveau 19 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Christos Argyriadis raised to 20,000 in the hijack and Adrien Guyon called in the small blind. Mark Helou then three-bet to 100,000 in the big blind, Argyriadis shoved for 140,000, and Guyon folded. Helou snap-called.

Christos Argyriadis: A♣K♦
Mark Helou: J♦J♠

The two players were racing, but Helou took a big lead on the 4♠2♦J♥ flop with top set. The 10♣ turn gave Argyriadis some hope with a straight draw, but he missed the 3♦ river and wished his tablemates luck before heading off to collect his payout.

Erlandsson Closes in on a Million

Weiss

Niveau 19 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Daniel Erlandsson opened to 20,000 from the hijack. Gonzalo Veiga was the only caller from the big blind and it went to a flop.

Veiga checked the 3♥10♣2♥ flop before calling a bet of 20,000 from Erlandsson.

That betting pattern continued on the 5♣ turn, with Veiga check-calling Erlandsson's 45,000 bet.

An 8♣ completed the board, and yet again Veiga checked it to Erlandsson. The Swede made it 80,0000 and got a call, getting three streets of value from his K♥10♠. Veiga mucked and was down to half of the average stack.

Joueur	Jetons	Progression

Niveau 19 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Salih Atac was already all in and at risk for around 200,000 from middle position against Alexandru Lupuleac, who had Atac covered from the big blind.

Salih Atac: Q♠Q♣
Alexandru Lupuleac: 10♣10♦

Atac was in good shape with his ladies, and the 8♠4♦9♠A♠4♠ runout left Atac with a flush for a largely sweat-free double up.
