Disastrous Flop for Behbehani

Level 13 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
Salman Behbehani
Salman Behbehani

Salman Behbehani opened and then called a three-bet by Aidyn Auyezkanov from one seat over. On the flop {K-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}, Behbehani checked and his opponent open-shoved for more than 420,000 into a pot of around 100,000 only.

Behbehani double-checked his cards and then called with the {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}. Auyezkanov rolled over his {K-Hearts}{K-Spades} for top set and Behbehani let out "that is not allowed," he could only laugh about the bad fortune. Neither the {A-Spades} turn nor the {5-Clubs} river brought a miracle and Behbehani was gone, telling friends on the rail what had just happened.

Holz Wins Roller Coaster Flip Against Zinno

Level 12 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

Paul Newey and Anthony Zinno have been eliminated. Zinno was spotted on the rail and confirmed what happened to him. The American raised the button for 22,000 and Fedor Holz made it 64,000 to go from the big blind.

Zinno shoved for more than 30 big blinds with {A-Hearts}{10-Hearts} and Holz called with {8-Clubs}{8-Spades}. The flop came {A-}{3-}{3-}, but an eight appeared on the turn to award the pot to Holz.

Voulgaris raised to 80,000, only to be forced to make it 86,000 by the dealer not much later. Vogelsang folded and Peters moved all in. Voulgaris called it off.

Haralabos Voulgaris: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}
David Peters: {8-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}

Gerard Piqué
Gerard Piqué

Gerard Pique raised to 25,000 from early position and Justin Bonomo three-bet to 70,000 from the button. Mike Watson then four-bet all in for 212,000 and Pique called all in for 97,000 whereas Bonomo let go.

Pique: {K-Spades}{J-Hearts}
Watson: {J-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}

The flop {10-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{4-Spades} changed nothing whatsoever, but the defender of the FC Barcelona picked up a straight draw with the {Q-Clubs} turn. A blank {6-Hearts} river sent Pique to the rail however and Watson moved up in chips.
