Monfils Finds a Double

[user140344]

A player in middle position made it 2,700 to go preflop. The button raised it up to 7,000 and Gael Monfils, from the small blind, shoved all in for around 14,500. The middle position player folded and the player on the button made the call flipping over {a-Diamonds}

. Monfils showed {k-Spades}

and we were off to the flop.

The flop brought {2-Spades}

leaving the player on the button still ahead of the newly appointed PokerStars SportStar.

The {6-Diamonds}

on the turn was no help, but it was the {q-Hearts}

that hit the river that gave Monfils a new lease on his tournament life.

Langmann Doubles Through Collado

[user46392]

Jan Collado opened for 2,700 and Florian Langmann shoved for his last 15,400 behind. Everyone else folded, Collado called, and they flipped their cards and awaited community cards.

Collado: {2-Clubs}

Langmann: a surprisingly premium {Q-Spades}

Board:

Langmann doubled to 33,000 and stays in the game for the time being.

Teisseire Back to Starting Stack

[user46392]

Antonin Teisseire is back up to 30,000 or so after he found pocket queens and took on an even shorter stack holding {Q-?}

. The board blanked out, and the Frenchman remains in the running.

Monfils Busto

[user140344]

Gael Monfils from under the gun made it 3,000 to go. The player to his left made the call before a player in middle position bumped it up to 8,000.

Everyone got out of the way and it was back around to Monfils who moved all in. The player to his left mucked and the middle position player made the call.

Monfils: {J-Clubs}

MP:

The flop was no good to Monfils, bringing {6-Diamonds}

. The turn and river were also useless with the {9-Hearts}

and

falling respectively. And with that, the tennis star's first tournament was over.

Veldhuis Cold 5-Bet Shoves

[user76023]

Nick Schulman raised to 2,800 and Harry Touil flat-called. Hayden Fortini made it 9,500 next to him before, Philip Wiszowaty came in with a cold 4-bet to 23,200 but then Lex Veldhuis pushed for 46,100 total.

Everyone folded back to Wiszowaty who sighed and called showing {Q-Spades}

and then laughed when Veldhuis also showed {Q-Clubs}
