Razavi Chipping Up

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Melika Razavi has added some more to her already sizable stack. Starting the day in third place, she now has more than Timothy Adams or Nicolas Chouity had at the start of the day, after winning a couple of small and medium-sized pots today.

The latest addition came after Razavi three-bet from the button over Fady Kamar's raised to 45,000 on the cutoff. Kamar called the 125,000 bet and they saw a flop of {8-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}. When Fady checked, Razavi took down the pot with a 75,000 bet.

More for Adams

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

On the tail end of a bigger pot between Christoph Vogelsang and Timothy Adams, the latter bet the {q-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{j-Spades}{2-Hearts} river for more than 350,000 to force a fold from Vogelsang.

The next hand, Vogelsang opened to 45,000 first to act and Luis Medina in the big blind asked for his stack size before making it 120,000 to go. Vogelsang glanced at Medina's stack and folded.

Adams Sticks Versus Grieco

Nicola Grieco
Nicola Grieco

Nicola Grieco raised to 75,000 from under the gun, Timothy Adams three-bet to 225,000 to his left and Grieco called. The flop was {k-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{9-Clubs} and Grieco checked. Adams continued for 100,000 and with slightly trembling hands, Grieco check-raised to 250,000. Adams came along with the call.

On the {5-Clubs} turn, Grieco stacked his remaining 500,000 and double-checked his hole cards before checking. Adams bet just 85,000 and Grieco immediately released, shook his head, but then let out a faint smile.

Volkmann Moves on Chouity

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Things have calmed down somewhat on the final table and the last hand went to a flop, without an all in before it.

The action had folded to Bruno Volkmann in the small blind who limped and Nicolas Chouity raised to 75,000 in the big blind, which Volkmann called.

On the {k-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} flop Volkmann check-raised the 60,000 continuation bet to 175,000 and though Chouity looked suspicious, he let it go.
