Nemeth Bluffs Entire Stack into Rivered Trips

Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Andras Nemeth
Andras Nemeth

With 23,400 in the pot on a {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}{7-Clubs} flop, Andras Nemeth bet 6,500 in the small blind, and Nikolaos Giannopoulos called on the button.

The {9-Diamonds} landed on the turn and Nemeth bet 22,000. Giannopoulos called.

The {k-Spades} completed the board and Nemeth moved all in. Giannopoulos snap-called and revealed {k-Clubs}{j-Hearts} for rivered trips. Nemeth could only show {q-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}, and the Hungarian sighed and made his exit from the table, while his Greek opponent collected the pot.

Glaser Shoves His Short Stack

Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

After Steve Savio limped in the hijack, Benny Glaser called in the small blind and Imad Derwiche checked his big blind.

The flop came {2-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} and action was checked to Savio who bet 2,000.

Glaser came back with a check-raise to 6,000, folding out Derwiche, but Savio made the call.

On the {q-Clubs} turn, Glaser slid his remaining 24,000 or so forward, which was replaced with the iconic PokerStars all-in triangle.

Savio quickly folded to send the pot to Glaser, whose stack is back above its starting point.

Baumann Eliminated in Three-Way All In

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Gaelle Baumann
Gaelle Baumann

After Gaelle Baumann moved her last 13,600 in from under the gun, Bartolomiej Swieboda then moved in for 42,000 from middle position.

With about 45,000 in his stack, Dushyant Shekhawat moved in as well from the small blind, putting both opponents at risk.

Gaelle Baumann: {a-Hearts}{9-Hearts}
Bartlomiej Swieboda: {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}
Dushyant Shekhawat: {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}

Swieboda's queens were in the lead, and after the board ran out {9-Spades}{6-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{3-Hearts}, they remained so, eliminating Baumann, and leaving Shekhawat with a nub that would disappear just a couple of hands later.

Humberto Galindo had 10,400 chips over the betting line in the big blind, while Michel Dattani had 19,400 chips over the betting line in early position. Galindo jammed for roughly 100,000 and Dattani instantly put in the chips.

Humberto Galindo: {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}
Michel Dattani: {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}

It was a classic aces-versus-kings clash, and the board ran out {8-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{8-Spades}{q-Spades} to keep the pocket rockets in front. Galindo was eliminated, while Dattani moved up to one of the top stacks in the tournament.

On a flop of {8-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}, action was checked around to the {9-Diamonds} turn. Nemeth threw in a bet of 2,300 that Adamson called.

The {q-Spades} filled up the board and Nemeth continued with another bet of 4,200 that Adamson called again. Nemeth turned over {j-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} for a bluff and Adamson revealed {a-Spades}{3-Spades} to win the pot with a pair of threes.

Abernathy Gone After Getting It in Good

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Samantha Abernathy
Samantha Abernathy

Samantha Abernathy had gotten her remaining stack in on the button and was at risk against Yazan Mdanat in the big blind.

Samantha Abernathy: {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}
Yazan Mdanat: {a-Spades}{7-Clubs}

Abernathy was in great shape for a double, until the dealer spread the {a-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} flop. The {4-Diamonds} turn gave her additional outs with a flush draw, but the {3-Hearts} river bricked out to send her to the rail.

"If this was a cash table, I would tip the dealer," Mdanat remarked as he collected the pot.

Quenneville Grows Stack with Overbet

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

On a turn board of {k-Spades}{q-Clubs}{j-Spades}{4-Hearts} and approximately 12,000 in the pot, Bruno Volkmann checked in the big blind to Troy Quenneville under the gun.

Quenneville fired out an overbet of 17,000, which Volkmann called.

The board paired on the river with the {4-Spades} and Volkmann checked with 43,000 left in his stack. Quenneville took the safe route and opted to check back.

Volkmann showed {q-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} for queens and fours, while Quenneville showed {a-Diamonds}{10-Spades} for a winning Broadway straight.
