Messina Makes Full House for Huge Double-Up

Level 9 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

In a pot of 63,000, Stefan Lehner, under the gun, checked the 10J7Q turn over to Renato Messina in the cutoff, who bet 55,000. Lehner then raised to 228,000, and Messina called.

The 10 river prompted a check from Lehner, after which Messina moved all in for 172,000. Lehner snap-called with AK64 for Broadway, but Messina had rivered the better hand with KQQ2.

His full house brought him a massive double-up, sitting with a stack of over 140 big blinds.

Hossein Ensan
Hossein Ensan

Three-way to the 423 flop, Renato Messina checked from the big blind to Hossein Ensan under the gun. Ensan bet 40,000 into the pot of 72,000, which Stefan Lehner called on the button.

Messina let his cards go, after which the 7 was burned and turned. Ensan slowed down and checked, prompting Lehner to fire a bet of 80,000.

Ensan decided to fold after a while in the tank. The ever-friendly Lehner showed A5 for a wheel. "No bluff again," he added.

"Sonic" Runs Into Pansier's Nuts

Level 8 : Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

The action was picked up on a 10K2Q turn. "Sonic" bet 18,000 into a pot of 47,000 from the cutoff, which Nino Pansier raised to 65,000.

"Sonic" matched the bet and checked the subsequent 4 river over to Pansier. Pansier announced a pot-sized bet of 177,000, which covered "Sonic"s stack.

"Sonic" spent some time in the tank before he found a call. Pansier showed Broadway with AQJ8, besting the set of "Sonic", who tabled KK3Xx as he said his goodbyes to the table.
