Hulme Wins With Aces

Level 4 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

Thodoris Bariampas raised preflop from middle position, after which Andrew Hulme three-bet from the hijack. Bariampas made the call, leading to 6,000 chips being in the middle.

Bariampas then check-called a bet of 2,000 from Hulme on the 9K2 flop, and did the same when Hulme sized up to 6,600 on the 10 turn.

Both players checked the J river, and Hulme's AA beat Bariampas' AK at showdown.

Federico Shows Nedelcu

Level 3 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

With 15,000 chips already in the middle, John Federico checked in the cutoff to Narcis Nedelcu on the button. Nedelcu made a bet of 10,000 on the 4J7QQ board, which Federico raised to 22,500, an all-in bet.

Nedelcu was barely covered by this all-in and went deep into the tank. "Will you show me one if I fold?" he asked after some time, to which Federico answered affirmatively.

After some more time, Nedelcu let his hand go and Federico showed the Q. "No good," Nedelcu concluded as the pot was shipped Federico's way.

Laidlaw Four-Bets Beltz

Level 3 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Dan Laidlaw had open-raised from the hijack, after which Wouter Beltz put in a three-bet to 2,500 from the small blind. Laidlaw responded by reraising to 5,500, and Beltz made the call.

On the 5K2 flop, Beltz check-called the 2,500 bet Laidlaw put in, after which the Q turn and J river were checked down.

Laidlaw showed K6 for top pair, and Beltz could only nod his head as he relinquished his cards and the pot.
