Layani Grows

Jonathan Layani had raised preflop from middle position and Paul Vas Nunes called out of the big blind to see the flop come down {7-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{3-Spades}. After Vas Nunes checked, Layani bet 5,500. Vas Nunes made the call.

The turn was the {Q-Diamonds} and Vas Nunes checked to the aggressor again. Layani bet 13,000 and Vas Nunes called.

The river completed the board with the {8-Diamonds} and both players checked.

"Queen," said Layani, turning over the {Q-Spades}{10-Spades}. Vas Nunes mucked his hand and Layani won the pot.

Wigg Doubles with Quads; Binger Must Show

We spotted Anton Wigg all in for 42,000 on the river of a board reading {10-Hearts}{9-Spades}{7-Spades}{5-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}. Nick Binger was in the tank and he thought long and hard for several minutes. Finally, Binger made the call and Wigg turned over the {7-Clubs}{7-Hearts} for the nuts with quads. The dealer prompted Binger to show his hand, but he questioned it at first. The dealer immediately summoned the floor, who happened to be standing right by and the ruling was given.

Per rules of the European Poker Tour, all all-in showdowns must be shown and Binger's hand had to be tabled. He turned over the {A-Spades}{5-Spades} and then the dealer mucked his losing hand. Afterwards, the table began commenting as a whole about how bad they thought that rule was.

Kenney's Trap Doesn't Work

After Tamer Kamel checked the {J-Clubs}{9-Spades}{2-Clubs}{8-Spades} board, Bryn Kenney bet 4,400. Nicholas Crisp made the call and then Kamel folded.

Adeniya Goes Boom

Martins Adeniya (Day 1b)
Martins Adeniya (Day 1b)

We just witnessed a massive hand go down between Martins Adeniya and Cort Kibler-Melby. When we arrived at the table, it appeared the had been a raise prior to Adeniya three-betting. Adeniya had 6,200 out in front of him and Kibler-Melby had reraised to 14,800 on the button. Action was on Adeniya and he tanked for a bit before reraising to 28,600. Kibler-Melby thought for a couple minutes and then moved all in, having Adeniya covered. It didn't matter, Adeniya snap-called and tabled the {A-Clubs}{A-Hearts}. Kibler-Melby held the {K-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}.

The flop, turn and river ran out {Q-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{6-Spades}{2-Spades} and Adeniya doubled up to around 250,000 in chips. Kibler-Melby was crushed all the way back to 19,000.
