Kocab Doubles Through Kudzmanas

MaximeTaldir

Niveau 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

After Marius Kudzmanas opened to 60,000 from the button, Jiri Kocab three-bet all in for 270,000 in the big blind. Kudzmanas thought about his decision for a few seconds, and called.

Jiri Kocab: A♣7♦
Marius Kudzmanas: A♦4♦

Kudzmanas was hoping for a high card to split after the flop of A♥10♠3♣ and the turn A♠. But the river 6♦ was lower than a seven, so Kocab doubled up.

Niveau 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Marius Kudzmanas min-raised to 60,000 chips from under the gun and Ran Ilani was the only caller, in the small blind.

The J♥Q♠Q♦ flop was checked by both players before Ilani bet 75,000 on the 4♦ turn. Kudzmanas made the call and the 8♠ river rolled off.

Ilani upped his sizing to 225,000, but Kudzmanas did not deem that enough and raised all in, covering the 605,000 chips Ilani had in his possession.

Ilani tanked for a while before folding, begging his opponent to show at least one card. However, Kudzamanas did not comply as his cards hit the muck face-down while he stacked up his newly acquired chips.

Mark Helou opened to 60,000 from the cutoff with A♦6♠ and Ramon Colillas defended his big blind with A♠4♥.

The A♣Q♥6♦ flop checked through to the 5♣ turn. Colillas checked and Helou bet 70,000 with his two pair. Colillas, with a pair of aces, called.

The 10♦ completed the board and gave the checkmark to Helou. Colillas then proceeded to make the correct fold after Helou fired out 125,000.

Top Pair for Jakovljevic

MaximeTaldir

Niveau 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

After Dejan Jakovljevic raised to 60,000 from early position, Marius Kudzmanas three-bet to 170,000 from the cutoff. Jakovljevic was the only one to call to see the A♥3♣9♥ flop.

Kudzmanas continued with a bet of 80,000 and Jakovljevic decided to call. Both of them checked on the turn 4♠, and there was no more action on the river 7♥.

First player to reveal his cards, Jakovljevic showed A♣5♣ for top pair. Kudzmanas seemed very annoyed, but eventually folded his cards after a few seconds.

Lupuleac Bites the Dust in Wild Pot

frankvisser

Niveau 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Jon Kyte raised to 65,000 from under the gun before Marle Spragg three-bet to 200,000 from the next seat over. Serge Chechin then called cold from the hijack before the action went to Alexandru Lupuleac, who jammed all in for 800,000.

Kyte asked for a count and tanked for a while before he folded, and Spragg quickly followed suit. Chechin, on the other hand, stuck in a call relatively quickly, with the covering stack.

Alexandru Lupuleac: A♥Q♥
Serge Chechin: 10♠10♦

"Come on, one time," Lupuleac begged while the 9♦9♣5♥ flop fell. The 3♠ turn did not help him either, and the 2♦ river sealed his fate.

Lupuleac finished in 26th place, meaning the Main Event is one elimination away from a three-table redraw.

Ilani Shoves

Niveau 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Marius Kudzmanas opened to 60,000 from under the gun and was called by Preben Stokkan from the button. Ran Ilani moved all in for 840,000 from the small blind. Kuszmanas quickly folded but Stokkan used up a time bank while getting Ilani's stack size confirmed. A few more moments passed and Stokkan opted to preserve his stack.

"You did not fold a better hand," said Ilani to Stokkan as he took in the pot.
