Ladouceur Almost Back to Black

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante
Eugene Katchalov & Marc-Andre Ladouceur
Eugene Katchalov & Marc-Andre Ladouceur

Marc-Andre Ladouceur won a noce pot off Eugene Katchalov to get back to his starting stack, almost.

The Team Pro opened to 750 from the cut-off and Ladouceur called from the next seat to head to a {7-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} flop. Ladouceur bet 1,000 when the action was checked to him. Call. On the turn {q-Hearts} turn Katchalov checked again and took his time to call the Canadian's 2,625 bet.

Both players checked the {9-Diamonds} river and Katchalov mucked upon seeing his opponent's {10-Hearts}{10-Spades}.

Spindler Among Early Eliminations

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

Another One For Benger

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

Taylor Paur explained that Sorel Mizzi had raised on the button and Griffin Benger defended his big blind. The flop brought {5-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} and Benger lead out, Mizzi called.

We picked the action up on the turn when Benger bet 1,525 and Mizzi decided to raise it up to 4,225. Benger gave it some thought and called after which the river brought the {9-Diamonds}. Benger check-called 7,250 and Mizzi tabled {8-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} for two pair. Benger had {10-Hearts}{5-Hearts} for a better two pair and he raked in another pot.

Gifts For Lim

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

Aaron Lim just knocked two players out but we didn't managed to get a look at their seat cards. The hand was already over and Lim brought us up to speed with what went down at his table.

In a single raised pot three players saw a {5-}{7-}{X-} flop with two spades. After two players checked there was a 7,000-chip bet and the second player moved all in for 30,000. Lim was next to act and he called the shove after which the initial bettor also decided to go all in for 24,000 chips.

Lim was all in and ahead with two players at risk. The shortest stack showed {4-}{6-} for a straight draw while the other had {A-Spades}{10-Spades} for a flush draw. Lim had flopped a set with {5-}{5-} and his hand held up.

Bonomo Shove Gets Through

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante

Justin Bonomo's stack had reached the level where he couldn't get to the river without being all in. He just tangled with Vojtech Ruzicka and had to shove to win the pot.

On a {4-Clubs}{q-Spades}{j-Diamonds} flop Bonomo's 2,300 bet from the small blind was called by Rusicka in the cut-off. The turn came as the {6-Hearts} and Bonomo shoed for 6,375. The EPT Deauville High Roller champion took two minutes before he folded.

Flop Top Pair Good for Pantaleo

Level 3 : 150/300, 25 ante

Giuseppe Pantaleo is creeping back up towards his starting stack after getting two streets of value out of Artem Litvinov.

Pantaleo opened to 800 from the cut-off and Litvinov defended his big blind to see a {6-Spades}{j-Clubs}{8-Clubs} flop appear. He check-called a 925 bet there and a 1,550 bet on the {a-Hearts} turn. Both players checked the {8-Diamonds} river before Pantaleo opened {j-Spades}{9-Spades} which was good as the Russian folded.
