Cailly Still Doesn't Believe Charania

Level 33 : 100,000/200,000, 30,000 ante

Lucille Cailly raised to 400,000, on the button, holding {3-Hearts} {2-Hearts} and she took the blinds and antes.

-

Bernard Guigon gave up the button, Mohsin Charania limped in the small blind holding {Q-Spades} {6-Hearts} and Lucille Cailly checked from the big blind holding {J-Hearts} {10-Spades}.

Flop: {K-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs} {6-Clubs}

What a great flop and Charania quickly check-called a 225,000 Cailly bet.

Turn: {10-Clubs}

Checkity-check.

River: {3-Spades}

Charania bet 460,000 and Cailly is wondering, "does this guy always have it?" She once again makes a call and once again she ships chips to Charania.

More Cailly and Charania Action; More Guigon Folding

Level 33 : 100,000/200,000, 30,000 ante

Lucille Cailly raised to 400,000, on the button, holding {A-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} and she took the blinds and antes.

-

Mohsin Charania continued his strategy to limp from the small blind. This time he held {Q-Clubs} {6-Diamonds} and Lucille Cailly checked with pocket deuces. The flop came down queen high and Charania won the bet with a c-bet.

"I had aces...I thought Bernard was going to get crazy, but he let me down," said Charania.

-

Mohsin Charania raised to 410,000, on the button, holding {A-Hearts} {6-Clubs}, Lucille Cailly folded the small blind and Bernard Guigon found {J-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} in the big blind. Guigon made the call and the pair shared a flop.

Flop: {K-Clubs} {9-Clubs} {7-Diamonds}

Guigon checked, Charania bet 285,000 and Guigon folded.

"That is the worse play I have seen in my life," said Scott Baumstein in commentary.

Guigon Moves All-In

Level 33 : 100,000/200,000, 30,000 ante

Mohsin Charania raised to 410,000, on the button, holding {A-Diamonds} {5-Spades}, Lucille Cailly folded in the small blind and Bernard Guigon found {K-Spades} {J-Spades} in the big blind.

"All-in," said Guigon.

Charania asked for a count and the dealer told him it was 2,755,000. The last time Charania made a call, like this, he berated himself for making it and we are sure this is what was going through his head. Eventually he folded and decided to wait for a better spot.

Lucille Cailly raised to 800,000 on the button holding {9-Spades} {3-Hearts} and wins the blinds and antes despite admitting to a misclick.

Mohsin Charania mucked the button, Lucille Cailly asked Bernard Guigon for a count, from the small blind, before making it 500,000 holding {J-Diamonds} {6-Clubs} and Bernard Guigon folded {J-Clubs} {3-Clubs}.

The flop was {J-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds} {9-Spades} and and Charania check-called a 225,000 Cailly bet. The turn was the {K-Hearts} and Charania checked for a second time, Cailly bet 530000 and Charania called.

River: {J-Clubs}

Ouch! What a brutal river card! Charania didn't check this time...oh no, no,no. Charania bet 1,225,000 and Cailly rubs her brows with her index finger before staring at Charania, who looked very confident. It was a really tough spot for Cailly who called and exhaled a long sigh after seeing the Charania hand.

Season's Greatest Moments; "Martin! It Is Enough!"

Level 32 : 80,000/160,000, 20,000 ante

"The EPT Barcelona final table was a brutally long affair. After 13 hours of play Eugene Katchalov toppled in third ending the Ukrainian's hopes of completing his triple crown. It took an hour more for Martin Schleich to edge out Dragan Kostic to take the title, but not before one.."

Cailly Gets Guigon To Fold Top Pair

Level 32 : 80,000/160,000, 20,000 ante

Bernard Guigon raised to 325,000, on the button, holding {A-Hearts} {2-Spades} and Lucille Cailly asked for a count. She was asking for a count because she found {A-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds} in the big blind. Cailly made the three-bet and Guigon mucked before our eyes could catch the betting amount.

-

Lucille Cailly raised to 390,000, in the small blind, holding {10-Diamonds} {2-Spades} and Bernard Guigon found {A-Hearts} {8-Diamonds} in the big blind. As usual, Guigon took an eternity before making his decision, which was to call. The flop was {A-Spades} {J-Hearts} {5-Spades} and Cailly bet 430,000. Guigon had top pair and eventually made the call. We saw {6-Spades} on fourth street and Cailly, who had recently added a scarf to her decor, fired a second barrel of 730,000 hoping that Guigon was going to fold. Guigon went into thought mode, once more, and folded top pair. This really is a two horse race.

Three More Hands For You

Level 32 : 80,000/160,000, 20,000 ante

Lucille Cailly received a walk.

-

Mohsin Charania raised to 330,000, on the button, holding {9-Hearts} {4-Spades} and Lucille Cailly folded pocket fours in the small blind. Onto Bernard Guigon, in the big blind, and he goes into the tank with {10-Spades} {6-Spades} before making the call. The flop was {K-Spades} {6-Clubs} {3-Clubs} and the whispy haired Guigon checked to his younger counterpart who bet 275,000. Guigon had middle pair and you would imagine that he wasn't going anywhere but what the hell do we know! Guigon folds once more and you have to wonder why he would even call in the first place?

-

Bernard Guigon found {6-Hearts} {5-Hearts} in the small blind and he raised to 340,000. Mohsin Charania decided to play a pot with him, in position, and called with {5-Clubs} {2-Clubs}.

Flop: {10-Spades} {6-Clubs} {3-Clubs}

A great action flop and Guigon bet 275,000; Charania made a quick call.

Turn: {2-Diamonds}

Checkity-check

River: {Q-Spades}

Once again both players check and Guigon wins a much needed pot.
