Wauters Cracks a Set on the River

Level 3 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
Andrei Wauters
Andrei Wauters

Andrei Wauters just busted Raz Tal in a massive pot, and he captured the entire hand on the camera he uses for his vlog.

According to Wauters, he raised to 1,000 with 107 and Tal made it 3,500 with QxQx. Wauters called to the Ax8x3x flop with two diamonds where both players checked.

Tal made a set on the Qx turn and bet 6,000 before Wauters raised to 16,000 with his flush draw. Tal called to the 9 river, where Wauters completed his flush and moved all in. Tal snap-called for 34,000, only to be shown the unfortunate news on his way to the exit.

According to Tal, he had only been in the tournament for two hands before busting. "First time in my life I've lasted two hands. That must be a record," he said.

Level 2 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Josef Huber
Josef Huber

Alexandru Marcu three-bet to 4,000 on the button and Josef Huber called in the small blind, as did Andrii Zaika in middle position.

The flop came Q55 and Marcu continued for 5,000. Huber then moved all in for around 25,000 and Zaika got out of the way, but Marcu snap-called.

Josef Huber: Q10
Alexandru Marcu: AA

Huber improved to two pair on the 10 turn, but it wasn't enough to overcome Marcu's aces as the 3 river sealed his elimination early on Day 1b.

Barry Russell

Heads-up on a flop of 358, a player who wishes to be known only as "Tips4All" bet 1,300 before Barry Russell raised to 5,000.

"Tips4All" called to the 2 turn, where Russell bet another 13,300. "Tips4All" called once more to the 10 river, where Russell moved all in for around 45,000.

"Tips4All" snap-called with A4 for the turned straight and Russell could only show 33 for a set before heading to the exit as the first casualty of the day.
