Gonzalez Cabau Eliminated in Three-Way All-In

Level 7 : 300/600, 600 ante
Ricard Gonzalez Cabau
Ricard Gonzalez Cabau

Kristian Larsson raised from under the gun and Ricard Gonzalez Cabau then pushed for the last 7,300 from one seat over. It folded all the way to Dimitriy Timoshenko in the big blind, who simply moved all-in with the covering stack. Larsson needed some time to think about it but called all-in as well.

Ricard Gonzalez Cabau: {5-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}
Kristian Larsson: {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}
Dimitriy Timoshenko: {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}

The {k-Spades}{j-Hearts}{4-Spades} flop improved Timoshenko while Gonzalez Cabau also had a piece with the bottom pair. However, the tides changed once more on the {10-Hearts} turn as Larsson hit a set. Nothing changed on the {8-Spades} river and Larsson knocked out Gonzalez Cabau while doubling through Timoshenko for 19,000.

Arribas Franco Loses the Minimum

Level 7 : 300/600, 600 ante

Four ways to the {a-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} flop, the action checked to Daniel Arribas Franco and he bet 2,000 in the cutoff. Antonio Sanchez Torregrosa called on the button and the other two players folded.

After the {7-Spades} turn, Arribas Franco bet for another 4,000 to get a quick call and the {3-Clubs} river paired the board. Arribas Franco bet for 7,000 and Sanchez Torregrosa snap-called for the former to reveal {5-Clubs}{4-Clubs} for a flopped wheel.

However, Sanchez Torregrosa had that beat with the {2-Spades}{2-Diamonds} for a full house to win the pot. "Lose the minimum," Arribas Franco said in table chat.

Mrkaljevic Doubles Through Khaleghian

Level 7 : 300/600, 600 ante

The cards were already turned over and the double for Aladin Mrkaljevic was counted to be for 24,200. His {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds} was an overpair to the {q-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{6-Spades} board and that was good enough, as Kian Khaleghian only had the {q-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}.

"We even had dinner together," the Brit joked while Mrkaljevic replied "you asked for it when you raised to 7,000".

Heads-up to the {10-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{8-Spades} turn, Yana Gorskaya checked and subsequently called a bet worth 8,500 by table big stack Ashley Timms. She then checked the {5-Clubs} river and Timms fired a bet worth 19,000.

That was enough to win the pot as Gorskaya sent her cards into the muck.

Popular British live poker player and online poker streamer Ian Simpson has officially been confirmed as the newest brand ambassador for 888poker. This has been revealed by the operator and the player itself, who has been attending the series at Casino Barcelona and bagged up chips on Day 1a of the €1,100 Main Event.

"I can finally reveal that I’m now an ambassador for 888poker!

I was thrilled when 888 showed an interest in me. I’m gradually getting to know their poker team and it’s invigorating to get to work with people who are simultaneously kind and hard working.

I’ve had the privilege of attending a number of their tremendous live events now, which I will continue to do so in my partnership with them.

In addition I’ll be getting back to streaming on twitch.tv/iansimpsonpoker. We’ve got some exciting ideas for collaboration with their growing stream team, so keep an eye out for the content we’ll be making."

Simpson joined the spotlight in the English-speaking poker community when he won the 2013 Irish Open Main Event for €265,000 and then proposed to his then partner and now wife Emma on the live stream table. Since then, the Newcastle based poker pro has racked up more than $1 million in live poker cashes and represented Unibet Poker throughout the last few years.

On top of the activities on the live poker scene, he has also been streaming his action in the virtual arena regularly and especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.
