Barcenas Romera Takes Chips From Baumann

Level 13 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Gaelle Baumann
Gaelle Baumann

Gaelle Baumann raised from the small blind and Ignacio Barcenas Romera three-bet to 20,500 from the big blind. Baumann called the three-bet and they saw the flop heads-up.

The flop fell {9-Spades}{4-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} and Baumann check-called a bet of 13,500 from Barcenas Romera to see the {10-Diamonds} turn. Both players checked this time and the {a-Spades} river came down to complete the board.

Baumann checked and Barcenas Romera thought about it for a minute before he checked behind. Baumann tabled her {j-Hearts}{10-Hearts} but that wasn't enough to take down the pot against the {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs} of Barcenas Romara.

Beresford Escapes From Elimination

Level 13 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Conor Beresford
Conor Beresford

While Patrik Antonius sits behind a massive stack, Conor Beresford was reduced to crumbs despite entering Day 2 as one of the bigger stacks. Beresford moved all in for 24,500 and Minx Xi reluctantly called in the big blind.

Conor Beresford: {k-Spades}{j-Clubs}
Ming Xi: {a-Clubs}{9-Clubs}

The board came {k-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{2-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} and Beresford doubled to remain in contention.

Martini Takes From Wang

Level 13 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Julien Martini
Julien Martini

Julien Martini is on the way to have all other seven players combined on his table covered as he closes in on 600,000 in chips. In the latest hand, he was involved in the action from the cutoff with Markus Durnegger on the button and Yilong Wang in the small blind also still in contention.

The turn showed {8-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} and Wang led for 11,000, only Martini called. Wang also bet the {3-Spades} river for 26,000 and Martini called with the words "Okay, I just call."

Wang tabled {q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} for a busted flushdraw and Martini claimed the pot with {a-Spades}{5-Hearts} for a straight.

Double for Razavi

Level 13 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Melika Razavi
Melika Razavi

Action was on the {a-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{a-Spades} flop and Melika Razavi was first to act, playing from the big blind position. She checked and Karim Jamil made a min bet of 2,500. Back on Razavi and she upped it to 8,000, which Jamil called.

The turn was the {3-Diamonds} and after a brief spell in the tank, Razavi announced all in. Jamil called quickly and Razavi turned over {2-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} for the low full house, whilst Jamil had {a-Hearts}{9-Hearts} in the whole. Though behind, Jamil had nines, threes and the case ace still to hit to turn the hand around for him. The {q-Diamonds} river bricked and Razavi got the double whilst Jamil is back to roughly what he started the day on.

Barer Surges As Nakache Falls

Level 13 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Ami Barer
Ami Barer

Three players saw a {10-Spades}{6-Spades}{3-Diamonds} flop together with Ami Barer first to act from the big blind. He checked, Patrick Nakache bet 8,500 and Milos Lalovic called. Barer check-raised to 36,000, Nakache shoved about 110,000 total, Lalovic folded, and Barer called.

Patrick Nakache: {a-Spades}{8-Spades}
Ami Barer: {6-Diamonds}{3-Spades}

The {6-Clubs} on the turn left Nakache drawing dead, making the {a-Clubs} river a mere formality.

Bozzano Doubles Up

Level 13 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Corentin Ropert raised from middle position and he was called by Jorden Verbraeken, Franck Makaci, and big blind Enio Bozzano.

The flop fell {10-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{j-Spades} and all four players checked so the dealer dealt the {6-Clubs} turn card. Bozzano checked and Ropert continued with a bet of 20,000. Verbraeken and Makaci got out of the way but Bozzano stuck around.

The {2-Hearts} river completed the board and Bozzano checked again. Ropert put him all in for 31,000 and a very quick call followed by Bozzano.

Ropert showed {a-Spades}{8-Spades} for a missed draw and Bozzano took it down with {j-Hearts}{8-Clubs}.

Radovanovic Loses Flip to Grieco

Level 13 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Alexandre Radovanovic had just jammed up his stack without showdown and soon after he ended up all in and at risk preflop for around 75,000 against Nicola Grieco.

Alexandre Radovanovic: {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}
Nicola Grieco: {10-Hearts}{10-Spades}

The board came {q-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{5-Hearts} and Grieco had reason to celebrate.
