Vayssieres Doubles Through PSPC Champ

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

In a three-way pot on a flop of {8-Hearts}{10-Spades}{8-Spades}, Nicolas Vayssieres led all in for 8,300 from the big blind and David Miscikowski folded before recent PokerStars Players Championship winner Aliaksandr Shylko called with a bigger stack.

Nicolas Vayssieres: {q-Spades}{5-Spades}
Aliaksandr Shylko: {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}

Shylko's nines were ahead until the {a-Spades} turn gave Vayssieres a flush and nothing changed on the {3-Diamonds} river to earn Vayssieres the double.

River Fold Leaves Plesuv Short

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Niko Koop raised to 2,200 from middle position and Pavel Plesuv made it 6,600 to go from the hijack. The action folded back to Koop, who called after inquiring about Plesuv's stack size.

The flop brought {6-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}{q-Spades} on the table and Koop check-called Plesuv's continuation-bet of 3,500. The {10-Diamonds} turn doubled that action when Koop check-called the 7,000 bet from Plesuv this time.

The roles reversed on the {q-Diamonds} river, as Koop now led the betting by putting his opponent all-in. Plesuv thought about it for a bit but decided to cut his losses and fold his hand, leaving himself with 17 and a half big blinds.

Bouquet's River Raise Throws Off Bereciartua

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Rui Bouquet
Rui Bouquet

Lander Lijo Bereciartua raised from under the gun, Pierre Zerbib called in middle position and Rui Bouquet called in the big blind.

Three players went to the flop, which came {3-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{2-Spades}. Bereciartua checked and Bouquet bet. Zerbib got out of the way and Bereciartua called.

The turn was the {a-Clubs} and both players checked. The river was the {9-Diamonds} and Bereciartua checked. Bouquet bet out for 7,500 and Bereciartua raised to 26,000. Bouquet then went all in for 34,500.

It wasn't much more for Bereciartua to call relative to the pot, but he looked perplexed as he held his head, folded his arms, and threw his time bank cards into the middle.

He eventually made the call and showed {a-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} for two pair. It was no good, however, as Rui Bouquet showed {9-Hearts}{9-Clubs} for a set of nines, which he'd made on the river. Bouquet scooped a decent pot to bring his stack closer to the average.
