Claudiu Saizus Up

Jean Francois Talbot opened for 55,000 from the cutoff and got called by both Sami Kelopuro on the button and Claudiu Saizu in the small blind to see a {4-Spades} {4-Hearts} {8-Diamonds} flop. Saizu checked and Talbot very quickly bet 80,000. Kelopuro folded immediately, but Saizu now made it 225,000 to go.

Talbot looked as though he was really considering it, but in the end he passed.

Smaller Saizu

Nicolas Chouity bet heavily on the turn of a {7-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds} {8-Clubs} {4-Spades} board and then fired again on the {6-Hearts} river to the tune of 275,000. Claudiu Saizu called both times, but then mucked when Chouity turned over {5-Hearts} {9-Clubs} for a rivered straight.

Chouity increased to 2.6 million, Saizu was left with 700,000.

Small Pot for Kelopuro

It folded around to Jean Francois Talbot in the small blind, who raised to 60,000. Big blind Sami Kelopuro called. Interesting.

However, they both checked the {6-Diamonds} {8-Hearts} {9-Diamonds} flop and Talbot checked the {10-Diamonds} turn too before Kelopuro took it down with an 81,000 bet.

Squeezed Olive

Nick Schulman opened from UTG but Laurent Olive reraised to 140,000 behind him. Roger Hairabedian tanked before moving all-in for about 600,000 or so.

Schulman folded but Olive debated for a minute before electing to make the call for a third of his stack.

Olive: {Q-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds}
Hairabedian: {K-Spades} {K-Clubs}

The {6-Hearts} {8-Hearts} {9-Hearts} suddenly put Olive in with a shout, but a {4-Clubs} turn and {7-Spades} put paid to his hopes of eliminating his compatriot. Hairabedian is up to 1,350,000 and is now the chip leader on the feature table.
