Quads for Sotgiu; Aggression by Macesovic

Level 5 : 300/500, 500 ante
Irena Macesovic
Irena Macesovic

"He lost a big pot with ace-king versus sevens. Flop ace, king, seven ... turn seven," Irena Macesovic and Meir Avigal both confirmed and referred to Pasquale Grimaldi, who dropped to half the starting stack.

Macesovic and Sotgiu were then also involved in the next interesting hand on their table. Macesovic raised the cutoff to 1,200 and the button called, Sotgiu three-bet to 4,900 and was called two ways. The {10-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} flop was checked and on the {7-Spades} turn, the action checked to Macesovic and her bet of 7,000 found no call. Sotgiu mucked the {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs} and Macesovic tabled the {6-Hearts}{3-Hearts} with a big grin on the face.

More Chips for Garcia

Level 6 : 300/600, 600 ante

On a three-way flop of {k-Clubs}{10-Spades}{4-Clubs}, the action checked to Jose Carlos Garcia in the cutoff and he bet 6,000 to pick up two callers. After the {7-Spades} turn, another bet of 15,000 followed and the small blind folded. The under-the-gun player used two time banks and called, the {3-Clubs} river then went check, check.

Garcia won the pot with {k-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} for top pair as his opponent only had {a-Hearts}{10-Clubs} for a pair of tens.

Panev Busts Ziso

Level 6 : 300/600, 600 ante
Ivaylo Panev
Ivaylo Panev

Joining the action on the {a-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{4-Spades} turn, Ivaylo Panev check-called a bet of 11,000 and bet the {j-Spades} on the river for 35,000. His only opponent was Elton Ziso, who had slightly more than that behind.

Ziso shrugged, splashed in his chips and Panev asked if it was a call or shove. Ziso didn't say anything and Panev turned over the {k-Hearts}{q-Clubs} for the straight, Ziso mucked {k-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} in disgust and walked away from the table.
