Targa Takes From Zaskodny

MaximeTaldir

Niveau 16 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Petr Targa opened from the button, and he was called by Lukas Zaskodny in the big blind, who was alone in the blinds as Hael Al Labani was eliminated from the table on the previous hand.

On the flop Q♥A♣2♥, Targa bet 30,000, and Zaskodny check-called. But it was the last action of the hand as both players checked on the turn 6♣ and the river 6♦.

First to reveal his cards, Zaskodny showed 7♠7♥, but it wasn't enough against Targa's K♦Q♣.

Patroncini Shows Why He Hates Aces

dsalituro

Niveau 16 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Action folded to Massimiliano Patroncini who raised to 36,000 on the button. Sebastien Maestrati in the small blind then three-bet to 152,000 and Patroncini tanked for several minutes until the clock was called. He eventually moved all in and Maestrati snap-called.

Sebastien Maestrati: A♦A♥
Massimiliano Patroncini: Q♥Q♣

Patroncini had run into aces with a massive pot at stake, but the Q♠ fell right in the window followed by 5♥8♦. Maestrati let out a loud groan and shot out of his seat as he watched the 9♣4♦ complete the board.

The stacks were counted down and Patroncini had 341,000 remaining. Maestrati's stack was around 250,000 and he was sent to the rail.

"Why do you hate this hand," a tablemate asked Patroncini, pointing at the defeated aces of Maestrati.

"They always lose," Patroncini replied.

Niveau 16 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Vincenzo Vollaro opened to 21,000 from early position and was called by Marius Iftimia in the cutoff and Constantin Smintanca in the big blind.

Smintanca checked to Vollaro on the J♥2♦9♣ flop and he bet 46,000. Iftimia called but Smintanca folded.

Vollaro kept his foot on the gas and bet enough to put Iftimia all in for his last 210,000 on the 4♠ turn. Iftimia thought better of it and folded before Vollaro flashed the J♣ as he collected the pot.

dsalituro

Niveau 16 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Levan Rcheulishvili and Davide Brancale went to the river on a completed board of 6♠J♦9♦6♥3♠ when Rcheulishvili bet 52,0000 from early position.

Brancale then moved all in for around 700,000 in the big blind, sending Rcheulishvili deep into the tank. The clock was eventually called and Rcheulishvili allowed the countdown nearly to reach zero before he called.

Brancale then turned over 3♥2♣ and Rcheulishvili slammed down A♠9♠ for nines and sixes as he got up from his seat and paced around the table. A few tablemates got up to give him a fist bump after that hero call that sent Brancale to the rail.

"Beautiful call," one of his tablemates said.

Niveau 17 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Georgios Tsouloftas opened to 25,000 from the cutoff and just behind him, Yannick Jobin shoved for a bit over 200,000 on the button. Action folded back around to Tsouloftas, who called to put Jobin at risk.

Yannick Jobin: A♥10♣
Georgios Tsouloftas: Q♣Q♥

The 7♠2♠9♦4♥J♠ runout kept Tsouloftas best with his ladies and Jobin was sent to the rail.

Niveau 17 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

With around 150,000 in the middle on a board of J♠8♥3♦2♣, Stepan Budac bet 115,000 from the big blind before Jason Wheeler moved all in from early position.

Budac snap-called for around 200,000 more and turned over A♦A♣. Wheeler, though, had 8♦8♠ for a set and the 4♠ river sealed Budac's elimination as Wheeler moved past 2,000,000.

Aliaksandr Shylko and Manig Loeser were also recently eliminated.
