Carrel Kicks Szecsi Out

Level 3 : 100/200, 200 ante

The board read {5-Hearts}{2-Spades}{4-Clubs}{6-Spades}{8-Hearts} with a substantial pot in the middle already.

Charlie Carrel had the all-in button in front of him in the hijack position and some chips next to it. Norbert Szecsi was sitting in the tank on the button. After a while, he made the call for the 13,100 he had behind.

Carrel tabled the {6-Clubs}{5-Clubs} for two pair, sixes and fives and Szecsi stared at it for a bit and wanted to get but was forced to show his hand. He flipped over the {a-Hearts}{a-} for the overpair before making his way out of the tournament area.

Andras Nemeth
Andras Nemeth

The action kicked off with a raise to 600 and he was called by Belarmino De Souza before Andras Nemeth three-bet to 2,700.

After the {8-Clubs} turn, both players checked and De Souza then bet just 1,000 into 21,000 on the {k-Diamonds} river. Nemeth called and his {a-Clubs}{10-Spades} was good enough to win the pot, as De Souza had been bluffing with the {6-Hearts}{4-Hearts}.

Heads-up to the {j-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{2-Spades} flop, Kalidou Sow made it 1,300 to go once Georgi Sandev had checked. Sandev then had other plans and check-raised to 4,000 for Sow to reluctantly fold.
