Niveau 4 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Dejan Boskovic was already in right from the start, and he just bought in again. Wait, no, it is in fact his son who happens to have the same name! And would you know, they even ended up on the same table as well.

Boskovic senior just paid off a bet by 15,000 of Nan Tu on a river showing and then mucked when Tu flashed the for a straight. Soon after, Tu raised to 4,500 and then folded when Boskovic senior made it 11,800 to go.

Hungjun Pays Off Luo

zedmaster84

Niveau 3 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Zhao Hungjun had been on a heater early on and scooped massive pots to more than triple up his stack. That run was just somewhat halted, though Hungjun remains the early chip leader ahead of Sergio Aido, Dejan Boskovic and Artem Metalidi.

Joining the action on the flop, Hungjun checked in the big blind and Xiaoyang Luo bet 6,000. Hungjun check-raised to 15,000 and Luo called befre the duo checked the turn. On the river, Hungjun checked again and Luo bet 35,000. After taking one time extension for an additional 30 seconds, Hungjun then tossed in a single chip for the call and mucked once Luo flashed for a full house.

Fatehi Out

Niveau 3 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Not a good day at the office for Ali Reza Fatehi

Ali Reza Fatehi has not had a very good afternoon so far and it just got a whole lot worse. A recently arrived Fedor Holz opened the action in this particular hand with a raise to 4,000.

If Holz’ current tournament form is anything to go by he usually doubles in the first five minutes but this is not the case here – for a change.

Dan Smith mulls things over on the button before electing to re-raise to 12,500 in total and Fatehi, sitting in the small blind, moves the last of his chips in for an all-in bet of 34,200 in total.

Holz snap folded, to a groan and a cry of ‘nooooooo!’ from Smith who slaps face up on the table. Fathei tables and is in need of some help, which fails to arrive when the board runs out .

Amusingly, this brings a cry of ‘nooooooooo!’ from Holz, who told Smith he just folded .

“There’s no way you call if I shove though, right?” quizzes Smith jokingly as he stacks up his newly won chips.

For Fatehi that brings his tournament to a close as that was already his second bullet and the Iranian retires to lick his wounds.

It folded back to Adams, and his shot clock ran down to five seconds before the Canadian tossed in the extra chips. On the flop, Li continued for 11,000 and Adams eventually folded.

Another Wang Wins

Niveau 3 : 800/1,600, 200 ante

Currently there are two Wangs in the field, Yang Wang and Chinqing Wang and it is the latter we are concerned with in this particular hand.

Sitting under-the-gun plus one Wang raised it up to 8,000 and action folded over to Sylvain Loosli in the big blind. The Frenchman shot Wang a suspicious stare and threw in the call bring the action heads-up to a flop.

Loosli checked and Wang reached for chips, counting out a bet of 12,500 before carefully sliding it into the center of the table. Loosli thought it over but not for too long and made the call.

The brought another check from Loosli, who is surreptitiously shooting sidelong stares at Wang, who checked it back.

The river is what is more commonly known in poker terminology as a blank, changing nothing and Loosli now opted to lead for 16,500.

Wang called quickly and while Loosli turned over it was not enough to beat Wang’s and the Chinese player takes down the pot.
