Lovgren Short After Three-Way All In

Christian Zetzsche

Level 7 : 300/600, 600 ante

Sofia Lovgren opened first to act Jean-Paul Adolle three-bet, which resulted in calls by Santiago Giraldez on the button and Marvin Hannemann in the small blind. Jean-Pasquale Zuccarelli pushed for 14,100 in the big blind and Lovgren moved all in as well, as did Adolle. Rueda folded and Hannemann did so after some consideration.

Jean-Pasquale Zuccarelli:
Jean-Paul Adolle:
Sofia Lovgren:

The board came and Hannemann showed plenty of frustration, as he would have gotten there for a triple knockout.

Menhardt open-jammed in a short stack blind-on-blind and had a flip with versus pocket treys. The board came and Menhardt added a few chips to his stack.

One for Camarda

Christian Zetzsche

Level 6 : 200/500, 500 ante

Salvatore Camarda took the seat that previously belonged to Milad Oghabian and defended his big blind against an under-the-gun raise and a cold-call from big stack Tal Mor. On the flop, Camarda checked and called a bet of 2,000 and a call by Mor.

The turn was checked and Camarda bet the river for 3,200. Once the initial raiser folded, Mor reluctantly called and mucked when Camarda tabled for sixes and fives.
