Grospellier Takes from Yaghmai

Level 4 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

In the previous hand, Vladimir Troyanovskiy successfully four-bet to 43,000 against Ole Schemion to force a fold and then opened to 5,000 right after. Bertrand Grospellier in the cutoff and Nariman Yaghmai on the button called and the action headed three-ways to the flop of {7-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}.

Troyanovskiy continued for 10,000 and both his opponents called before the {9-Hearts} appeared on the turn. The Russian now checked and Grospellier bet 24,000. Only Yaghmai called, then the {5-Spades} on the river paired the board. Grospellier checked and Yaghmai checked behind to muck once the Frenchman showed him {10-Hearts}{8-Hearts} for the ten-high straight.

Wheeler Takes from Kabrhel; Thorel Back In

Level 5 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

Joining the action on the {9-Spades}{4-Hearts}{2-Spades} flop, Jason Wheeler bet 7,500 in the hijack and Martin Kabrhel called in the cutoff. The {A-Hearts} fell on the turn and Wheeler now made it 12,500 to go, again Kabrhel called.

After the {6-Spades} river, Wheeler fired a third barrel worth 21,000. While Kabrhel was sent into the think tank, Jean-Noel Thorel arrived at the table and took the empty seat between the duo. Kabrhel then called and Wheeler table {K-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}. Kabrhel looked at his cards again, even asked the dealer "what is it, a pair of sixes?" and then mucked. While Wheeler stacked the profit with a grin on the face, Kabrhel added a "well played" and received a "thank you" as reply.
