Level 17 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Niall Farrell
Niall Farrell

In a battle of the blinds in the very last hand before the break, Niall Farrell raised to 13,500 and Patrick Jann called. On the {2-Spades}{9-Clubs}{J-Clubs} flop, Farrell checked and called a bet worth 15,000 by Jann. Same applied for the {Q-Spades} turn when the Swiss made it 25,000 to go.

The {2-Clubs} fell on the river and Farrell checked for a third time. Jann bet 39,000 and left himself exactly 100,000 behind. Some table chat between the two followed and Farrell made the call, scooping the pot with {10-Clubs}{9-Spades} versus {A-Diamonds}{3-Spades}.

Fishhooks for Bahna

Level 17 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante

Akim Aouine opened for 12,000 from the hijack and was met by a three-bet to 32,500 from Hani Bahna in the cutoff. When action reached Bjorn Geissert in the big blind, he four-bet to 60,000, which drove Aouine our of the hand. Bahna hit the tank for several minutes before five-betting all in for 98,500 total, which Geissert called.

Geissert: {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}
Bahna: {j-Clubs}{j-Spades}

It was a classic flip, and all Bahna needed to do would hold. To his satisfaction, the board ran out a clean {9-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{4-Clubs} and he was shipped the double.
