Duval into the Danger Zone

Bruno Lopes raised to 65,000 from the cutoff before Jason Duval bumped it up to 150,000 from the big blind. Lopes called to see a flop of {A-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} and then he called an additional 130,000 from the French-Canadian youngster.

Both players slowed down and checked the {J-Clubs} turn and {4-Spades} river, Duval showing {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} but Lopes picked up the pot with {A-Hearts}{10-Clubs}.

Macintyre Tripped Up by Boujenah

Ilan Boujenah added some chips to his stack after making trip tens by the river.

He opened to 60,000 from early position and Fraser Macintyre defended his big blind to see a {a-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{j-Hearts} flop. Macintyre check-called a 75,000 c-bet from Boujenah before both checked the {7-Diamonds} turn. The river fell {10-Diamonds} and Boujenah bet 160,000 when checked to him. The Brit called quickly and mucked at the same pace when shown {9-Spades}{10-Spades}.

The Raising Continues

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 4,000 ante

The fourth hand of the day saw a successful four-bet win the pot.

Ilan Boujenah opened to 60,000 from second position before Nicolas Levi three-bet to 140,000 from the hijack. Frederik Jensen decided to let everyone know he was around and put in a four-bet to 270,000 from the button. It did the trick as the blinds and both raisers folded.

Second Hand, Second Three-Bet`

Well, we're loving this early aggression. In the second hand of the day, we had our second three-bet. Fraser Macintyre raised to 65,000 in early position, and Bruno Lopes flatted next door. One more seat over, Andrei Stoenescu liked his cards enough to squeeze in a reraise to 195,000 total. Macintyre called, Lopes folded, and Stoenescu mistakenly threw his cards out toward the muck. They landed just about in the middle of the table, and the dealer froze the cards there while she queried the floor.

T.D. Toby allowed Stoenescu to have his cards back with a small word of caution, and it was heads-up to the flop. It came {7-Spades} {7-Diamonds} {9-Hearts}. Stoenescu continued out with a small bet of 167,000, but his bet would not get through. Macintyre check-raised to 400,000 straight, and the Romanian tanked and folded.
