Kober Doubles Through Greenwood

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante

Philipp Kober raised and jammed for 13,400 into a three-bet of Luc Greenwood, who had arrived not long ago. Greenwood called with {8-Spades}{8-Hearts} for around half his stack and Kober was one notch better with the {9-Hearts}{9-Spades}.

The board came {j-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{10-Diamonds} and Kober doubled, as neither player had a diamond in their hand.

Merfeldas Eliminated by Grieco

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante
Arvydas Merfeldas
Arvydas Merfeldas

There was an open to 1,700 and Arvydas Merfeldas called before Nicola Grieco three-bet to 6,000. Both players called and the trio saw a {9-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} flop.

It was checked by both players before Grieco moved all in for 50,000. Merfeldas called and they spun their cards on their backs.

Nicola Grieco: {a-Hearts}{a-Spades}
Arvydas Merfeldas: {4-Clubs}{4-Hearts}

It was set vs overpair and Grieco was out of his seat calling for an ace. The {9-Spades} turn gave Merfeldas a full house but added two nines to Grieco's outs.

When Grieco saw the {a-Diamonds} on the river, he couldn't contain his delight, cheering and celebrating to the enjoyment of everyone, including Merfeldas who smiled graciously as he left the table.

Derwiche Busts a Second Time

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante

Imad Derwiche got his stack in preflop for around 20,000 with {k-Hearts}{5-Hearts} against the {6-Spades}{6-Diamonds} of Corentin Ropert and the board came {a-Spades}{j-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{9-Spades}.

It was the second bullet for Derwiche, who quickly headed out of the tournament area. Besides Ropert, two other well-known French players have decent stacks on the same table in Theodore McQuilkin and Benjamin Pollak.
