dsalituro

Niveau 9 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Dario Alioto bet 17,000 from early position on a flop of 4♠6♠K♦ and Vivian Saliba called in the hijack, as did small blind Barny Boatman.

The turn was the 3♥ and Alioto shoved his last 50,000 in the middle. Saliba called all in for 35,000, and Boatman mucked.

"What do I have to beat," Saliba asked as Alioto showed 7♠7♣6♣4♣ for two pair. Saliba turned over A♠J♠J♣5♠ for a flush draw.

The river came the Q♠ and Saliba hit her flush to double up and leave Alioto on a short stack.

dsalituro

Niveau 9 : Blinds 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Tayfun Dogan and Nikolaos Kofinakos built a pot of around 30,000 heading to the 5♣6♦4♦ flop. Kofinakos then moved all in for 35,000 in the small blind and Dogan called under the gun.

Tayfun Dogan: A♦K♦9♣7♣
Nikolaos Kofinakos: 10♦9♥8♦6♥

Dogan had a straight draw to go with the nut flush draw, while Kofinkaos had a pair of sixes and his own, inferior flush draw.

The Q♣ turn was no help to Dogan, while the 9♠ fell on the river and he missed everything as Kofinakos made two pair. The stacks were counted down and Kofinakos barely had him covered, sending Dogan to the rail.

Niveau 8 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

With around 55,000 in the middle on a board of 10♥K♥5♠6♣, Azad Tekes bet 25,000 from under the gun before Zhengfa Ye, in the small blind, raised to 120,000.

Tekes called and the river came the Q♠. Both players had around 20,000 remaining and Ye moved all in. Tekes shrugged before tossing in a chip to call.

Ye then turned over A♥Q♥J♥8♠ for the nut straight on the river. "I knew exactly you were bluff betting," Tekes said as he flung K♣10♦10♠4♥ into the middle of the table.

The stacks were counted down and Ye barely had Tekes covered, sending him to the rail and a mountain of chips heading over in his direction.

Nino Rakita: Q♥Q♣6♦2♠
Namhyung Kim: J♥9♥5♠4♠

Niveau 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Heads-up on a board of 9♥K♥9♦2♦, Dorel Eldabach bet 4,500 from the button and Javier Francort called in the hijack.

The river came the 9♠ and Francort checked to Eldabach, who flicked in a chip and announced pot to 21,000.

"I put you on a wrap. You can't be good here," Eldabach told him as the two players began laughing.

"Aces," Francort replied.

"I block your aces," Eldabach said. Francort eventually called and Eldabach turned over A♦K♣9♣6♣ for quads.

zedmaster84

Niveau 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

There were only 9,000 in the middle to the 10♣9♦2♣ flop after which a raising war broke out. Hakan Orduzu ended up all-in and at risk for 97,800 against Ihar Pliashko to create the following showdown.

Hakan Orduzu: J♥10♠9♥4♦
Ihar Pliashko: K♠Q♣9♠9♣

Orduzu needed a ten or running cards for a straight as Pliashko was miles ahead with the set, gutshot and flush draw.

The 8♠ turn and 7♠ river saw Orduzu pull a rabbit out of the hat as he indeed caught a jack-high straight.

Niveau 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Heads-up on a flop of 9♦7♥5♥, Wooram Cho bet 5,000 from the hijack before Marc Palatzky raised to 14,000 in the cutoff.

Cho called and both players checked the 7♣ turn. The river came the 8♦ and Cho led out for 25,000.

Palatzky then slid forward a tower of blue 5,000 chips, enough to put Cho all in for his last 30,000, and Cho quickly mucked as Palatzky moved up past 300,000 with that pot.

At an adjacent table, Patrik Jaros has also built a stack of around 140,000 on his second bullet.

Boatman Fills Up to Bust Two More

dsalituro

Niveau 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Barny Boatman has been on a tear so far on Day 1, and his latest victims were Aleksandar Stefanovic and Hok Yiu Lee.

On a flop of 9♦4♥Q♥, Stefanovic moved all in for 17,000, Lee got his last 30,000 in the middle from early position, and Boatman had them both at risk in the small blind.

Aleksandar Stefanovic: A♦K♠Q♦8♦
Hok Yiu Lee: K♥K♦J♣9♥
Barny Boatman: A♥5♠4♣4♠

Stefanovic had top pair, Lee had a pair of kings, but both were behind Boatman's set of fours. The 9♣ turn gave Boatman a full house, and neither Stefanovic or Lee could improve on the Q♣ river as Boatman busted both players.

Erbland then moved all in for 20,000 in middle position and Tomazou called on the button. Erbland had A♥7♥6♦3♦ for a straight draw, while Tomazou showed K♣K♦8♣3♠.

The river came the Q♠ and Erbland missed his draw, heading to the rail for the third time.

Lampropoulos Goes Runner-Runner in Massive Three-Way All In

dsalituro

Niveau 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Patrik Jaros was in the cutoff and got his last 35,000 in the middle on a flop of J♠6♦7♠. Nikolaos Lampropoulos in the big blind also shoved for 52,000 and Eran Carmi had both players covered and at risk in middle position.

Patrik Jaros: A♠K♣2♦2♠
Nikolaos Lampropoulos: K♠K♥5♠4♠
Eran Carmi: Q♦J♥7♦5♥

"How many spades are left," Jaros said, standing up and leaning over the table awaiting the 9♣ turn. Carmi was still ahead with his two pair, but the 9♥ river gave Lampropoulos kings and nines to earn the massive pot.

Lampropoulos doubled up off Carmi, while Jaros was eliminated.
