Kitai Doing Work

[user66118]
[user66118]
A player in middle position opened with a raise to 6,200. There was one caller in late position, and Davidi Kitai called from the big blind as well.

Three-handed then, the flop came out {4-Clubs} {10-Spades} {8-Spades}. Kitai and the raiser checked, and the late-postion player bet 10,000. Kitai then snuck in a check-raise to 28,000, and only the bettor called.

The two remaining players watched the {J-Hearts} fall on fourth street, and Kitai came with the big stick. He announced, "Tapis," and slid his towers of chips out across the betting line. The dealer announced the amount as 94,000, but our count put the all-in wager at 134,000. Either way, the two men were virtually even in chips, and there was a big decision to make. Kitai's opponent went into the tank for several minutes, long enough for someone to call the clock on him. After about half of his time, he released his cards with a frown.

Kitai flashed {6-Spades} {7-Spades} for no pair and a big draw as he raked in the pot. That moves the Belgian back up to about 210,000 where he was a few minutes ago.

Son of a Gun, Teng Has Good Fun with the Baio

We hypothesize that Andrew Teng raised and Alain Baio pushed; but whatever happened during the moments preceding our arrival at their table, the two of them were on their proverbial backs for Baio's tournament life.

Baio: {A-Hearts} {10-Diamonds}
Teng: {K-Clubs} {9-Hearts}

Board: {2-Diamonds} {3-Spades} {Q-Diamonds} {J-Spades} bink! {9-Spades}

"Nyywaaahh," said Baio and headed for the door.

Teng is up to 340,000.

Clemencon Doubles to the Max

Clemencon, and on, and on
Clemencon, and on, and on
Tristan Clemencon found himself some timely aces and got them in preflop against Maxat Aibayev's pocket tens. A complete absence of nasty surprises on the board and the young Frenchman stays in the game on 70,000, roughly half the average stack at this time.

No Extra Value for McDonald

[user46392]
[user46392]
Ian McDonald raised to 8,000 from the hijack and Luca Pagano called him from the button. They saw the traditional flop.

Flop: {A-Clubs} {5-Clubs} {J-Spades}

McDonald checked to Pagano, who bet 14,000. The action moved back to McDonald who dwelled up long enough for this blogger to weave her way over to Dario Minieri's table and back - and then announced all in. It took Pagano only a second or two to pass.

McDonald did not buy the farm this time, and Pagano dips to 275,000.

Abecassis At Risk

[user66118]
[user66118]
Michel Abecassis opened the pot to 8,000 in early position, and the table folded around to the blinds. The man in the small blind announced an all-in reraise, and Abecassis would spend the next five minutes in the tank. He had just less than 50,000 left, so the decision was for the rest of his chips. Finally, he stuck them in there, all in and at risk.

Showdown
Abecassis: {K-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds}
Opponent: {7-Hearts} {7-Spades}

The door card was the right suit but the wrong rank for Abecassis, and the flop came out an unkind {7-Diamonds} {2-Hearts} {6-Clubs}. The {4-Spades} on the turn left the Frenchman drawing dead to the {8-Spades} on the river, and he wished his table luck as he exited just before the last break of the night.

Trouble Brueling

[user46392]
[user46392]
A raising war between Patrick Bruel (mid position) and Richard Leblanc (button) culminated with Bruel moving all in.

A wall of various cameras and media personnel swarmed around the table while Leblanc considered his options (Mr. Bruel is very famous indeed in France - "He is like George Clooney here," whispered a French blogger to us). Bruel winked at his opponent. Perhaps because of this, or perhaps in spite of it, Leblanc passed.
