Small Bet Takes it Down for Reard

Ryan Lashmar

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

With about 6,500 in the middle and the board reading K♦Q♠4♠, Kamil Filali checked from the small blind, Alexandre Reard checked from the big blind and "Nuno" bet 3,400. Filali got out of the way while Reard made the call.

Both players checked the 10♣ turn leading to the 9♠ river. Reard placed a small bet of 2,000 which was enough to force a fold from his opponent.

Ryan Lashmar

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

With about 40,000 already in the middle and the board reading 7♦5♦5♣Q♥8♣, "Absir" had bet 24,000 in position only for Sylvain Cisterna to move all in with a covering stack from the small blind. "Absir", who had committed more than three quarters of his stack already, went into the tank.

After about three minutes Absir folded, leaving himself with under ten big blinds while Cisterna scooped a massive pot without showdown.

"Belmehdi" Takes from Boughrara

Ryan Lashmar

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

"Belmehdi" opened to 2,000 from the hijack and Rachid Boughrara three-bet to 5,800 from the big blind. "Belmehdi" made the call.

The flop came A♥6♦4♠ and Boughrara bet 8,000. "Belmehdi" made the call.

Both players checked the 9♦ turn leading to the 10♥ river. Boughrara bet 13,000 and once again "Belmehdi" called.

Boughrara showed down K♣K♥ but the pocket kings were no good as "Belmehdi" revealed A♦Q♥ for a pair of aces to take the pot and make a small dent in Boughrara's stack.

Meanwhile, at another table, Iryna Tsikhanskaya was recently eliminated.

Benmoumen Leaves Siess on Fumes

Ryan Lashmar

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

With roughly 3,300 in the middle and four players seeing a board of 8♥5♥2♦, Iryna Tsikhanskaya checked from the small blind and Christophe Colantoni did the same from the big blind. Yves Siess bet 3,000 from the cutoff only for Amer Benmoumen to raise to 10,000 from the button. Tsikhanskaya and Colantoni got out of the way while Siess made the call.

Siess check-called another bet from Benmoumen on the 6♣ turn, this time for 17,000.

The river was the A♣. Siess checked, Benmoumen fired a third barrel for 22,000, and after about 90 seconds Siess made the call.

Benmoumen tabled 2♠2♥ for bottom set to scoop a sizable pot and leave Siess with just over ten big blinds.
