Langmann Doubles Up

[user46392]

Alfi Cataldo and Florian Langmann saw a {10-Diamonds}

flop, which Cataldo checked. Langmann bet 22,000 - and then called the check-raise to 60,000 from Cataldo.

Come the {8-Clubs}

turn Cataldo shoved, and Langmann insta-called.

Cataldo: {Q-Spades}

for two pair
Langmann: {J-Hearts}

for a straight

River: {J-Spades}

Langmann doubled up to a very respectable 350,000; Cataldo meanwhile was left with less than 40,000.

At His 'Vits End

[user46392]

Adam Markovits is in trouble after he called a 64,500 river bet from Eyal Avitan, the board reading {A-Spades}

. Avitan turned over {A-Diamonds}

for, well, quads, and Markovits is left with just 75,000.

It Must Be Nice to Be Pieter de Korver

[user46392]

Georges Ghossan raised from the small blind, only for Pieter de Korver to reraise. Ghossan called and then shoved on the {5-Spades}

flop with

for top pair - but de Korver insta-called with {A-Spades}

and Ghossan made his exit in disgust after failing to improve on the {Q-Spades}

turn or

river.

De Korver made a curious alien noise, a little like he was speaking in tongues (our Dutch colleagues assure us that it was not just his own language), and is up to a whopping 900,000.

Thomsen Can't Hold

[user66118]

Steven Thomsen and Paolo Gomes got it all in before the flop, Thomsen's {6-Diamonds}

racing with Gomes' {A-Hearts}

.

The flop found Gomes and the board ran out {Q-Diamonds}

. A pair of tens is good, and when the stacks were counted down, Thomsen was covered by just a few thousand. That's the end of his day.

Don't Have a Cao, Man

[user66118]

Rui Cao was down close to 100,000 when he got all in on a {K-?}

(X) flop. His fellow Frenchman Anthony Roux looked him up with {A-?}

, but Cao tabled pocket deuces for a set. The rest of the board locked up the pot for him, and he's doubled to about 220,000.

Roux was unusually upset with the result of that hand as he slapped his cards into the muck and sat there looking rather forlorn for several minutes; he's dropped to 420,000.

[user46392]

Mikko Turtiainen got his last in with {9-Hearts}

.

Board: {Q-Clubs}

Cataldo Doubles Through Schulz

[user46392]

Andre Paiva raised in the hijack and Jan Boubli called from the cutoff. But Alfi Cataldo shoved from the small blind and Michael Schulz reshoved from the big blind. Both Paiva and Boubli passed, and they were on their backs.

Cataldo: {A-Diamonds}

Schulz:

Board:

Cataldo doubles to 400,000.

De Korver Playing Poker

[user66118]

With the action folded around to the blinds, Pieter de Korver opened to 12,000 from the small. In the big, Daniel Drescher three-bet to 32,500, and de Korver came right back with a four-bet to 77,500. Drescher thought it over for a long while before moving all in for about 170,000 more.

That sent de Korver spiraling into the think tank for another few minutes, but he eventually released his hand and chose to hang on to his 725,000 chips for now.
