Zaffran and Correia Double

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Alexandr Merzhvinskii pushed into a raise by Francisco Pinho Correia and the latter called for 67,200 with the {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs}. Merzhvinskii only had {A-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs} and the kicker played on a board of {8-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{9-Hearts} to let the Portuguese double.

Jean Paul Zaffran shoved for just 33,200 in the small blind with {10-Hearts}{9-Spades} and Alex Komaromi quickly called with the {A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts} in the big blind. The board came {Q-Spades}{9-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} and Zaffran rivered trips to stay in.

From middle position, Maksim Prokhorov opened for 7,500. His neighbor Jose Latorre called from the hijack and Simeon Naydenov squeezed to 28,500 from the cutoff. The button, blinds, and Prokhorov folded, Latorre called.

Latorre check-called another 18,500 on {A-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds} before checking again on the {Q-Diamonds} hit the turn. Naydenov shoved all in for 107,000 and Latorre tank-folded.

Van Putten the Big Stack

Level 14 : 1,500/3,000, 500 ante

Jasper Meijer van Putten, the Dutchman who won the last-ever EPT back in Prague 2016 for €699,300, has an impressive stack in front of him all of the sudden. He told us he first doubled from 100,000 to 200,000 getting it in with aces versus ace-king and winning.

He added another 100,000 when a player in middle position opened for 6,000. Meijer van Putten defended his big blind with {10-}{6-} and check-called a bet of 8,000 on {10-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}. Meijer van Putten lead for 21,000 on the {10-Clubs} turn and bet another 47,000 on the {J-Clubs} river. He got called both times, but his opponent mucked after being shown trips.

Moshe Pushes Out Gross

Level 13 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

On the turn of a heads-up board of {Q-Spades}{9-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}, Asi Moshe bet 16,500 and Alexander Gross called. Moshe also bet the {6-Hearts} river for 45,500 and Gross stacked together a call. However, he took another minute and mucked the {Q-Hearts} face up.

"I really wanted the call," Moshe said while he was raking in the pot. The player from Israel, who already has a WSOP bracelet and several deep runs in Las Vegas, made the trip over to Europe and stands on an above-average stack.
