The start for Pierre Garbarino into Day 1b has certainly been rocky thus far and he just had to concede yet another pot. With some 5,500 in the middle, Garbarino checked on the river and he then faced a bet worth 4,000 by Victor Plaza Robles.
Garbarino used one time bank extension and then sent his cards into the muck.
"Seat open table 49," the dealer announced and had already scooped up the board and cards. The seat that formerly belonged to Salvador Ros Caballero was empty and Ovidiu Sava had nearly doubled his stack.
"Jacks versus aces," Jaime Sanchez mentioned in table chat to Julia Pujals Descarrega on the other side of the table.
Heads-up to the river, Lucia Martinez Ibanez checked out of the small blind. She then faced a bet worth 2,000 by Angel Funes Rios in the hijack and opted for a check-raise to 6,100 total.
Funes Rios gave it some thought and folded within the allocated 30-second shot clock.
"Check-raise de banana?!" Victor Plaza Robles in the one seat jokingly inquired but received no reply.
In a three-way three-bet pot with 1,700 each invested, the flop showed and Remigiusz Hajduk bet 2,200. He was called by Sergio Marquez Muniente and the followed on the turn. Hajduk now check-called for 2,000 and then jammed the river for what appeared to be 13,000.
Marquez Muniente folded without using any time bank and Hadjuk pushed back towards the starting stack.
Catalin Ciurea raised to 400 from under the gun and Adrian Constantin made it 2,000 to go on the button. Sandro Hauser called in the small blind and Ciurea then four-bet to 6,600 and Constantin folded while Hauser called.
"You want even more?" the Romanian inquired to which Hauser replied "we will see".
Both headed to the flop on which Hauser check-raised from 2,200 to 7,000. Ciurea pushed all-in and was snap-called by Hauser with the inferior stack.
Sandro Hauser:
Catalin Ciurea:
When Hauser revealed the middle set, Ciurea sighed and said "that's really bad" as he was caught with a move holding second pair only. The turn secured the double worth 23,200 for Hauser and the river was meaningless.
Georgios Sourlas raised to 500 and was called only by Enric Marti Nadal in the blinds. The latter then check-called bets worth 800 on the flop, 1,600 on the turn and 3,500 on the river. Sourlas tabled the and that won the pot.
