Daniel J O'Hair

Niveau 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Jean Granjon opened to 7,000 first to act and was three-bet to 18,000 by Kevin Kent, who was in middle position. Action folded back around to Granjon, who made it 55,000 to go. Kent shoved and Granjon quickly called all in for his last 130,000.

Jean Granjon: K♠K♥ All in
Kevin Kent: A♠A♥

It was a nightmare scenario for Granjon and the 8♠4♦J♥4♣8♣ runout kept Kent best with his aces to eliminate Granjon late in the evening.

On a flop of A♥6♦6♥, Brian Battistone bet 2,500 from early position and was met by a raise to 15,000 from Alan Mustafa on the button. Battistone then raised enough to put Mustafa all in. Mustafa snap-called and the cards were revealed.

Alan Mustafa: A♠9♥ All in
Brian Battistone: K♥Q♥

Battistone found the help he needed on the 8♥ turn, improving to a flush. There was no miracle on the river for Mustafa as the 2♠ came and he was sent to rail.

Niveau 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Domenico Paparo opened to 5,000 from early position and was called by Manuel De Sousa from the hijack. The 2024 Irish Open Main Event Champion, Tero Laurila, three-bet to 25,000 from the cutoff, which folded out the button and the blinds. Paparo called ahead of De Sousa returning his cards to the dealer.

On the A♦J♣8♦ flop, Paparo check-raised to 30,000 over a bet of 15,000. Laurila quickly moved all in as the bigger stack, and Paparo called off the 40,000 more he had behind.

Domenico Paparo: A♥K♣ All in
Tero Laurila: J♠8♠

Paparo had top pair, top kicker, but was behind Laurila's two pair. The 9♣ turn was no help to Paparo, who departed after Laurila improved to a full house on the J♥ river.

Niveau 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Joel Casanovas opened to 5,000 from the hijack before Francisco Martin Romo moved all in for 31,000 from the cutoff. Action was on Kevin Kent in the small blind, but Casanovas had a lapse in concentration and folded out of turn. With that, Kent called, and Casanovas folded his hand when it was his turn to act.

Romo had A♦Q♦ and was flipping against 9♣9♦. The board ran out with the 7♥5♥4♠8♦7♠ and Romo was ejected.

Casanovas was then given a two-hand penalty for his error, but he had no complaints and the next hand got underway.

Niveau 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Ali Afshar and Jose Serra committed the last of their chips preflop with Yalcin Aslan making the call to put them both at risk.

Ali Afshar: Q♦10♦ All in
Jose Serra: A♠Q♠ All in
Yalcin Aslan: K♣K♠

The flop came 7♠5♦10♠ to give Afshar and Serra some extra outs to stay alive. The Q♥ on the turn put Afshar ahead with two pair. The J♦ hit the river, meaning Afshar would triple up with two pair, queens and tens, while Serra was sent to the rail as he lost the side pot to Aslan's pocket kings

Niveau 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Mikael Darwich opened 5,000 in the cutoff before Francisco Izquierdo three-bet 17,000 from the small blind. Ignacio Cuesta jammed for roughly 60,000 from the big blind, putting Darwich in the tank. After giving it some thought, he tossed his cards into the muck and Izquierdo made the call.

Ignacio Cuesta: A♣K♦ All in
Francisco Izquierdo: J♠J♣

It was the classic race as the dealer spread the flop of J♦10♠2♦, giving Izquierdo a set of jacks. The Q♥ fell on the turn, improving Cuesta to Broadway as he gained the lead but the J♥ river gave Izquierdo quads, sending Cuesta to the rail.

Niveau 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Roman Volkov opened to 4,500 from early position and was called by Barny Boatman on the button and Maria Konnikova in the big blind.

Konnikova checked to Volkov, who continued for 4,000 on the J♦A♠7♣ flop. Boatman folded, but Konnikova called.

The 8♦ fell on the turn and Konnikova again check-called, this time for a 13,500 bet from Volkov.

Konnikova checked a final time on the 5♣ river.

"Do you have two pair?" Volkov asked before announcing he was all in for his last 55,000. Konnikova immediately called, having Volkov covered, and tabled 10♦9♦ for a turned straight.

Volkov showed he held 5♠5♥ for a rivered set and the rest of his chips were sent over to Konnikova.

Niveau 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Juan Diego Rodriguez raised to 3,500 from early position. Domenico Paparo called him in the cutoff and Liutauras Armanavicius called out of the small blind. Manuel De Sousa then three-bet to 14,500 from the big blind. After some thought, Rodriguez four-bet-shoved for roughly 68,000. Paparo and Armanavicius folded, but De Sousa made the call.

Juan Diego Rodriguez: Q♠Q♦ All in
Manuel De Sousa: K♠K♦

The flop of Q♥10♦J♠ catapulted Rodriguez into the lead with a set of queens. However, the K♣ came on the turn to give De Sousa a higher set and take back the lead. The 5♣ on the river cemented Rodriguez's elimination from the tournament.
