Coleman Ruins Rubiralta's Tournament

Partager sur Twitter Partager sur Facebook

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

With a lot of chips in the middle on a board of A♥5♠6♥2♣4♦, David Coleman had checked from under the gun and faced a bet of 32,500 from Gerard Rubiralta, who was sat in the hijack. After a few moments, Coleman shoved for 61,900. Coleman's shove sent Rubiralta deep into thought, thinking for roughly two minutes. Eventually, Rubiralta made the call.

Coleman turned over A♣4♣ for two pair, aces and fours. Rubiralta couldn't beat that as he showed A♦K♥ just a pair of aces, and almost all of his chips were sent over to Coleman.

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

Naoki Yashiro raised, then Salvatore Camarda stuck his short stack of around 5,000 into the middle from the next seat. When it got back to Yashiro, he called.

Salvatore Camarda: A♦K♠ All in
Naoki Yashiro: 4♦4♠

Camarda had a good view of the flop and saw that Yashiro improved to a set before anybody else on the 4♥2♥Q♦ board, which prompted him to stand up and gather his belongings. A J♦ on the turn did give him some outs and he found one of them as the 10♣ completed his Broadway draw which kept him alive.

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

The cards were already face up and players were all in, with Walter Treccarichi at risk from the big blind against Lauri Saaskilahti in the cutoff.

Walter Treccarichi: Q♠Q♥ All in
Lauri Saaskilahti: AxAx

The dealer placed the Q♣J♠6♠ flop and Saaskilahti shook his head, realizing Treccarichi was now in the lead with a set of queens.

Saaskilahti didn't recover on the K♠ turn or 3♦ river, and Treccarichi secured the double.

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

Vedat Mutlu opened 2,200 under the gun, and Jelle Moene three-bet to 5,500 from a couple of spots to his left. Jan Zeuschner was in the small blind and jammed for about 12,000 before Mutlu announced all in as well, and Moene called off his stack of 42,700.

Jan Zeuschner: K♠K♥ All in
Jelle Moene: A♠A♦ All in
Vedat Mutlu: Q♠Q♥

It was the ultimate preflop cooler, and the 8♣7♦7♠2♦2♥ runout meant Moene's aces were good, sending Zeuschner to the rail and doubing through Mutlu.

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

Gaspare Sposato opened for 2,000 and Hector Berry shoved for his last 17,000 out of the big blind. Sposato called to put Berry at risk.

Hector Berry: J♣J♠ All in
Gaspare Sposato: A♠10♦

Berry just had to fade an ace or running straight or flush cards to stay in the tournament. However, the flop of A♥10♣Q♠ propelled Sposato into the lead with top and bottom pair. The 4♦ turn and 10♠ river improved Sposato to a full house, sending Berry to the rail.

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

A three-way all in pot played out between Cristian Alvarez, Nicola Spallanzani, and Juan Bastida with two of the players sharing the same hand.

Juan Bastida: A♠K♠ All in
Cristian Alvarez: Q♥Q♣ All in
Nicola Spallanzani: A♣K♦

It was a dream scenario for Alvarez, who only needed to win a flip to almost triple up. Spallanzani had the biggest stack, but it seemed unlikely that he could scoop the pot unless the board brought some surprises.

A flop of 3♠6♦J♠ was safe for Alvarez, but Bastida did pick up the nut flush draw. An A♦ on the turn sunk Alvarez as he was drawing to just one out, but left Bastida delighted as he was freerolling for the main pot. Bastida spiked his flush on the 6♠ river and thumped the table in celebration, as Alvarez was sent to the rail.
