Goeller Doubles Luckily Through Berglund

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante

Andreas Goeller opened under the gun for 80,000. Lukas Berglund made it 155,000 from the cutoff. The button and both blinds folded. Action back on Goeller who shoved allin for 505,000. Berglund made the call.

Andreas Goeller: {A-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}
Lukas Berglund: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Spades}

The flop came pretty good for Goeller: {10-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}. The {7-Diamonds} hit Goeller hard as it secured him the double up. The {8-Spades} river was of no importance, game on.

Fundaro Eliminates Jeffrey Hakim in 15th Place and Alex Kravchenko in 14th Place (€25,550)

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante
Alex Kravchenko
Alex Kravchenko

Jeffrey Hakim opened shoved and was called by Giacomo Fundaro. Team PokerStars Pro Alex Kravchenko then moved all in and Fundaro made the call again to create a three-way all in.

Hakim: {a-Spades}{j-Clubs}

Fundaro : {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}

Kravchenko: {j-Spades}{j-Hearts}

The board ran out {4-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{10-Spades} and one of the two remaining aces in the deck appeared to eliminate two players in one fell swoop and give Fundaro a big pot.

Vincenzo Scarcella’s Services Are No Longer Required

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante

It’s likely that the theatre at Casino Sanremo is usually a bit livelier than this. But if tomorrow’s final is the day for players to get some much earned attention, the penultimate day is pretty much the opposite. Today is all about dividing the field in half. Those that survive will have their picture taken and their story told. Those that don’t will be forgotten in short order. This is what today is about, and in that latter category is Vincenzo Scarcella, as the PokerStars Blog reports here.

Martic Wins One from Mestre

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante

With a very short Vicky Coren-Mitchell in the big blind, Raul Mestre opened the cutoff for 60,000. Andrija Matric in the small blind made the call, Coren-Mitchell folded.

Both players checked the {10-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{2-Spades} flop. Matric bet out 65,000 on the {6-Clubs} turn and 135,000 on the {6-Diamonds} river. Mestre called both times, but couldn't beat the {A-Spades}{10-Spades} of Matric.

The Bluff Works This Time

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante

Andreas Goeller had a run of failed bluffs yesterday where he got picked off by Jorden Westmorland and Jeffrey Hakim. Just now he did get away with one.

Raul Mestre opened the pot with a raise to 60,000. He got calls from both Andrija Martic on the button and Andreas Goeller in the big blind.

Martic checked to Mestre on {6-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}. Mestre checked as well, but Martic bet. Goeller called, Mestre folded.

Goeller check called another 180,000 on the {2-Diamonds}-turn. The river was the {7-Clubs} and Goeller bet out 250,000. Martic folded in discust, Goeller showed {J-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}.

Vicky Coren-Mitchell has pushed about three times now against Raul Mestre's open raises. Mestre has folded every single time so far, though the last time around it gave him some headache it looked like.
