Marasa Takes From Taylor

Maxime Taldir

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 16,000 ante

After Filippo Marasa opened to 30,000 from early position, both Tristan Taylor in the hijack and Marko Luksa in the small blind called.

The dealer fanned a flop of 4♥K♣7♦, and Marasa continued for 30,000. Taylor was the only one to call.

On the Q♣ turn, Marasa checked then called when Taylor bet 60,000. But on the A♠ river, Marasa led again for 135,000.

Taylor quickly called with K♠Q♠, but he ran into A♦K♥ for the two best pair.

Mattia Ridi shoved for 130,000 from the cutoff. Nikola Minovic, on the button, asked for the count and min-raised to 260,000. The blinds folded, so the cards went on their backs.

Mattia Ridi: J♦9♥ All in
Nikola Minovic: A♥K♥

Minovic hit top pair on a board of A♠6♦3♥8♠2♥, sending Ridi to the rail.

Three-Way All-In

Maxime Taldir

Level 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Helfner Augusto Hotvedt raised to 25,000 from under the gun, but he saw Scott Baione to his left three-bet all-in for 144,000. In the cutoff, Rafal Kaczmarski shoved for 125,000, then Tomasz Brzezinski on the button moved all-in too for 247,000.

The blinds folded, and Hotvedt went into the tank. He eventually folded Q♥Q♣ face up.

Rafal Kaczmarski: J♣J♠ All in
Scott Baione: 5♥5♠ All in
Tomasz Brzezinski: A♦K♣

Baione hit a set on the A♣5♦6♠ flop, then a full house on the 6♦ turn, so he tripled up after the 10♠. Kaczmarski was eliminated on this hand, while Brzezinski won the side pot.

Peluso and Putz Split

Maxime Taldir

Level 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Fabio Peluso opened to 20,000 from middle position, and was only called by Andreas Putz on the button.

Peluso continued for 25,000 on a flop of 10♠8♣Q♥, then fired a second barrel of 75,000 on the J♣ turn. Putz called both times.

The K♠ landed on the river, and Peluso decided to check with 9♥7♥ for a straight. Putz checked back with 10♦9♦ for the same straight, so they split the pot.
