Hrabec Squeezes from the Small

Patrick Cole

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Ouassini Mansouri opened to 4,000 from early position. Ole Schemion called from the hijack as did Carlos Ribeiro from the cutoff. Roman Hrabec decided to move all in for 38,500. Jun Beum Chun contemplated making the call from the big blind but found the fold.

The same applied for Mansouri, who tanked for a moment before mucking his hand. Schemion's decision seemed to be easiest as he folded quickly, leaving the pot for Hrabec.

Sitbon led out for 2,000 and Ju called to see the Q♠ turn. Sitbon fired again, this time for 4,000.

Paris Picks Off Rosich

Patrick Cole

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Bryan Paris opened from the hijack to 4,000. Action folded around to David Rosich who moved all in for 38,000 from the small blind. Paris made the call and covered Rosich but only just.

David Rosich: A♦5♦ All in
Bryan Paris: K♣Q♣

The 6♦7♣8♠ flop was good for Rosich as he flopped an open-ended straight draw, but the K♠ turn kept Paris in the lead. The 3♥ river confirmed Rosich's exit from the tournament.

Labat Doubles Through Alilovic

Josh Noy

Level 11 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

A battle of the blinds between Christian Alilovic and Antoine Labat saw each contribute 5,000 chips before the A♠A♥2♣ flop.

Alilovic led out for 5,000 from the small blind and Labat called. The A♣ turn saw another lead from Alilovic, this time for 13,000.

Labat took some time before raising to 30,000, putting the decision back on his opponent. Alilovic responded by moving all in, with Labat quickly calling for his tournament life.

Antoine Labat: 5♥5♦ All in
Christian Alilovic: K♦10♦

Labat was in front and dodged the 6♠ river to earn a big double up through Alilovic.
