Johnson Gets His Revenge

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante
Mitch Johnson
Mitch Johnson

Nicolas Oger previously battled against Mitchell Johnson and left him with only half starting stack. However, in the very last hand before the end of the second level, Johonson doubled up through the very same opponent. The action escalated on the {6-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{4-Clubs} turn where Johnson got his last 14,075 in with the {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades} and Oger called with the {A-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}. The {3-Diamonds} completed the board but was already meaningless. Johnson gets to enjoy a much better time off now.

On a table nearby we also saw Timo Pfutzenreuter on the {A-Hearts}{4-Spades}{7-Hearts}{3-Spades}{3-Hearts} river folding the {A-Spades} when Rasmus Nielsen made it 10,000 to go. The Dane returned the favor with the {8-Spades} to give his opponent something to think about in the first break of Day 1B.

How Many Bets Preflop Was That?

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

So we see a battle between button and small blind, Flavien Guenan had 5,125 in front of him and Valentino Yasenov Konakchiev clicked it back to 7,700. After long consideration the Frenchman called and they saw the {K-Spades}{7-Spades}{10-Diamonds} flop. No action followed immediately, that took place on the {8-Clubs} turn when Guenan check-called 6,700 after about two minutes. The {3-Clubs} river completed the board and Konakchiev moved all in after his opponent checked. It was for 19,000 and the Frenchman had slightly less. Guenan ended up tank-folding one minute before the end of the second level.

Yoo Can’t Fold in That Spot

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

Federico Petruzzelli had moved all in from the big blind and under-the-gun Gyeong Tae Yoo faced a decision for all his chips.

The board read {j-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{5-Spades}.

After a brief pause he made the call but gave a groan when he saw his {2-Clubs}{2-Hearts} had run in to the {j-Clubs}{j-Spades} of Petruzzelli. The one outer did not arrive on the river, the {10-Clubs} came instead and the Korean was out just before the end of the second level of the day.
