Thorel Knocks Out Stern in Remarkable Hand

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante
Ofer Zvi Stern
Ofer Zvi Stern

Zvi Stern was missing from the table, but luckily for us his former neighbor Bart Lybaert knew exactly what had happened. He told us the hand with a smile on his face, stating it was rather bizarre.

From the cutoff, Zvi Stern raised to 6,500 only to be met by a button three-bet from Jean-Noel Thorel. Stern called and the flop came {10-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}. Stern now open shipped his last 70,000 or so, and Thorel called.

Zvi Stern: {A-Clubs}{9-Clubs}
Jean-Noel Thorel: {A-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}

The {8-Diamonds} on the turn gave Thorel a flush draw he didn't even need, and the {Q-Hearts} completed the board. With just ace high really, Thorel took down the huge pot.

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante
Thiago Nishijima
Thiago Nishijima

Brazilian World Series of Poker bracelet winner Thiago Nishijima pushed all in with the {q-Spades}{q-Hearts} and got looked up by Bulgarian Ognyan Dimov holding the {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}.

It was a classic race and Nishijima's queens held through the {10-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{10-Clubs} board to give him the double up.

Hadad Doubles; Calamusa Up Slightly

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante

Adrian Mateos three-bet a raise of Or Hadad and then pushed the flop {6-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{3-Spades} with {5-Hearts}{3-Hearts} for a pair and a straight draw. Or Hadad called all in with the {J-Spades}{J-Diamonds} and held up with the {9-Clubs} turn and {10-Diamonds} river, standing up and celebrating. The Israeli doubled up for 78,400 and Mateos was left with just over 30 big blinds.

One table over, Pierre Calamusa opened to 6,000 and Adrien Allain called from one seat over in the cutoff. On the flop {9-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{2-Clubs}, Calamusa continued for 7,100 and Allain called before Calamusa check-folded the {3-Hearts} turn to a bet of 9,000. The Winamax Pro is still enjoying a decent start into Day 3, same goes for Kevin Killeen on the TV table.

Mignot Doubles Through Moorman

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante

Cards were on their backs and it wasn't good news for Edouard Mignot who was standing up before the cards were even dealt. Moorman held {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} and Mignot had {a-Spades}{7-Spades}.

The flop came {k-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{j-Spades}, and Mignot started to gather his things. The turn was the {6-Diamonds} and he began to tuck his chair under the table. The river? The {7-Hearts}. A tiny surprised noise emanated from Mignot's mouth as the dealer counted out his stack for the double up.

Purice Busts Rex

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante

Adrian Buckley and Jarrod Rex have been sent to the rail. The latter called an open-raise and then faced a three-bet by Tudor Purice to call and see a flop of {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{10-Spades}. Both players checked and Rex then shoved the {10-Clubs} turn for 95,700, for twice the pot. Purice asked for a count and then made the call.

Rex: {7-Clubs}{7-Spades}
Purice: {A-Clubs}{9-Spades}

The {9-Clubs} river was a blank for Rex and he was sent to the rail.

Wang Ousted by Magirius

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante

Alessio Casiraghi, Davide Marchi and Michael Wang have been eliminated. The latter fell to Sven Magirius after the German opened and Andrew Chen flat-called from one seat over. Wang then shoved for what looked like 70,000 and Magirius quickly called, Chen folded.

Wang: {K-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}
Magirius: {A-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}

The board ran out {10-Clubs}{9-Spades}{3-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{2-Spades} and Wang left the table with a "nice hand." Magirius turned to his side and said "I am coming for you Gaelle," as the Frenchwoman had pushed him out of a big pot not long ago. Baumann smiled back "I am okay. I am not playing any more hands."

Saout with the Smart River Call

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante
Antoine Saout
Antoine Saout

Lucas Reeves had bet 55,500 into a pot of roughly that size on a board of {2-Clubs}{4-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}, and had called the clock on Antoine Saout. Saout had been chipping up already on day two and an incorrect call here might lead to a slippery slope. The clock was counted down by the tournament official before Saout eventually made the call. Reeves showed {a-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} for ace high, and Saout scooped the pot with {a-Hearts}{q-Hearts}

Jensen Out, Or In

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante

Morten Jensen got his short stack in holding the {k-Spades}{k-Hearts} versus Or Hadad's {a-Hearts}{5-Hearts}.

He held through the turn on a {8-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{q-Diamonds} board, but a fist pump from Hadad on the {7-Hearts} river told the whole story, as he made a straight to crack Jensen's kings and send him to the rail early.

Abernethy Doubles

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante

Iliodoros Kamatakis opened to 7,000 and Andrew Abernethy moved all in for 44,000 to receive a reluctantly call by the Greek with {3-Hearts}{3-Spades}.

"Maybe I find a three," Kamatakis said and flipped against the {A-Hearts}{K-Spades} of Abernethy. The Brit got there on the {4-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{2-Hearts}{A-Spades} turn but any five or three would have shipped the pot to Kamatakis.

Instead it was the {A-Diamonds} river that gave Abernethy a full house and a double up.

Baumann Check Raises the River All In

Level 15 : 1,500/3,000, 400 ante
Gaëlle Baumann
Gaëlle Baumann

From middle position, Gaelle Baumann raised it up to 6,500. Her neighbor Sven Magirius made the call and the two took a flop of {9-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}. Baumann fired 7,600 and Magirius made the call.

The {K-Clubs} on the turn had Baumann bet 12,500 and she was soon facing a raise to 37,000. Baumann called and tapped the table once the {Q-Clubs} completed the board.

Magirius fired 36,000 and after about a minute, Baumann announced all in. Magirius had just over 100,000 or so behind, and went deep into the tank. After several minutes, he folded.

Baumann collected the chips, and showed the {8-Diamonds}.
