De Meulder Sick

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

We joined the action on a blind on blind confrontation where Christophe De Meulder in the small blind had bet 73,000 on a final board of {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{6-Spades}{8-Diamonds} and had been raised by Florian-Dimitrie Duta in the big blind to 175,000. De Meulder gave him the hard stare down for several minutes while Duta remained stock still. De Meulder seemed to change his mind several times but something persuaded him to make the call in the end. Duta turned over {a-Spades}{6-Diamonds}. “So sick.” was De Meulder’s only comment.

All In to Beat the Clock

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

On a board reading {2-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{q-Diamonds} Valentino Konakchiev had bet 50,000 and Francesco Delfoco was sat back in his seat wondering what to do. Eventually the clock was called and Delfoco was given his countdown. Delfoco stared hard at his opponent, getting up close. Just as the ten second countdown was about to begin he announced “All in.” and got a call. Delfoco held {k-Spades}{q-Hearts} but Konakchiev had {a-Spades}{q-Spades}. The river [q] changed nothing and Delfoco was out.

Farrell Accumulates

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Pasi Sormunen raised under the gun for 24,000, Niall Farrell called from the hi jack and they saw a flop heads up of {9-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}. Sormunen checked as did Farrell. The turn was the [3] and Sormunen bet 28,000 and got a call. The river fell the {2-Clubs} and both players checked. Sormunen announced “Queen high.” and showed {q-Hearts}{j-Hearts}. Farrell won another pot with {6-Clubs}{6-Spades} and is now up to 1,610,000.

Team PokerStars Pro Wakes Up with Aces

Level 21 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Action folded to Sean Wilson in the cutoff and he moved all in for 201,000. Team PokerStars Pro Christophe De Meudler proceeded to move all in from the button, the blinds folded and Wilson discovered that he was up against it. De Meulder had woken up with the {a-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}, which was well out in front of Wilson's {7-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}. The {a-Spades}{j-Hearts}{3-Clubs} flop was gin for De Meudler, which meant Wilson needed running straight cards to stay alive. The {8-Diamonds} turn left him drawing dead, and after the {6-Clubs} completed the board on the river, the Canadian took his leave from the tournament.

Meanwhile, Siddharth Jain was eliminated in the last hand from the break after his {5-Hearts}{5-Clubs} failed to hold against {k-Clubs}{q-Hearts} in an all-in preflop pot. The board ran out {q-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{10-Hearts}{j-Clubs} and that was all she wrote for Jain.
