Niveau 25 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Ronald Sims limped in from middle position. Tommy Nguyen called from the small blind and the big blind checked.

Nguyen led out for 50,000 on the 10♣A♦8♥ flop and only Sims called.

The 2♠ turn got checked through for the 10♦ to come on the river. Nguyen bet 50,000 again and was met by a raise to 300,000 from Sims. Nguyen thought for a few moments before folding his hand and forfeiting the pot to Sims.

Niveau 25 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Action was caught on the flop of 4♠J♣8♠. Adi Dahari in the small blind led for 75,000 and Matthew OBrien called.

The turn was the A♣ and Dahari bet again, this time 100,000. O’Brien raised to 275,000 and Dahari called.

The river was the J♥ and Dahari put OBrien all in for 450,000. OBrien shook his had and sighed a bit, not very happy to see the bet, but decided to call.

Dahari turned over A♥10♣ for aces and jacks. OBrien turned over A♦K♠ for the same two pair, but his kicker played and he took down the big pot for the double-up.

Niveau 26 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Action started with a raise from the cutoff to 120,000. Andrew Kelsall went all in on the button for a bit over 400,000. David Cabrera Polop then reraised all in from the small blind. The big blind and the cutoff folded.

Andrew Kelsall: K♥7♣ All in
David Cabrera Polop: A♣Q♦

The flop was great for Polop; it was 6♣10♥A♥ giving him top pair.

The turn 6♥ gave Kelsall a flush draw, but it didn’t come in on the river. The river was the 10♠ and Kelsall was eliminated.
