Mosboeck Tank-Folds to Ivarsson

Level 1 : 100/100, 0 ante
Alexander Ivarsson
Alexander Ivarsson

The action folded to Mario Mosboeck in the small blind who raised it up to 500 which Alexander Ivarsson called in the big blind.

The flop came {q-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}, Mosboeck continued with a bet of 300 and got called.

The turn was the {5-Clubs}, Mosboeck opted to slow down and check. Ivarsson looked over and led out with a bet of 700 for Mosboeck to call.

The {10-Diamonds} completed the board and Mosboeck checked for the final time. Ivarsson took some time and bet 2,500. Mosboeck glanced at his cards, jumped into the thinking tank, and even cut out some calling chips at some point but opted to fold in the end.

Vinayagamoorthy Raises The River

Level 1 : 100/100, 0 ante

On a completed board of {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}, Mario Colavita made it 2,500 to go on the button with a pot of 4,200. That sent David Vinayagamoorthy into the tank and he eventually reached into his stack to grab two blue T-5,000 chips for a raise. Those were then committed some ten seconds later and Colavita snap-folded.

Kolonias and Chiva Off to a Rocky Start

Level 1 : 100/100, 0 ante
Alexandros Kolonias
Alexandros Kolonias

Gabriel Chiva raised to 300 on the button and Ran Shahar called in the small blind. Alexandros Kolonias then three-bet to 1,600 in the big blind, which resulted in two calls. Shahar checked the {8-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{4-Clubs} flop and Kolonias bet 2,000. Chiva then raised to 6,600 for Shahar to fold.

Kolonias gave it some consideration and folded, as he dropped almost one third of the starting stack in the first level so far. For Chiva, it was also some recovery only as he has even fewer chips while Shahar is the early chip leader on the table.

Pair of Nines for Sitbon

Level 1 : 100/100, 0 ante
Julien Sitbon
Julien Sitbon

With 2,5000 in the middle already, the flop read {2-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}.

Julien Sitbon bet 600 from the small blind and Jean Michel Ploch made the call on the button.

They both checked through the {10-Diamonds} on the turn to the {k-Spades} on the river. Sitbon flicked in a 500-chip for Ploch to call but muck as Sitbon tabled the {j-Spades}{9-Spades} for the pair of nines.

Early in the first level, Boaz Madhala and Sonia-Veronika Shashikhina had already tangled several times with Madhala chipping up significantly. Shashikhina earned some chips back just now when she bet the [Jd8h5d2dh2c] river for 5,000 into 6,500. Madhala called but mucked when Shashikhina tabled the {a-Clubs}{j-Spades} for jacks and deuces.

Both players are slightly under the starting stack in the early stages of Day 1a.

Waldemar Blex raised to 300 in the cutoff and was called by Rifat Palevic on the button, Masato Yokosawa also came along from the big blind. The {10-Hearts}{8-Spades}{6-Clubs} flop was checked to Blex and he bet 500 to win the pot.

Palevic then raised the next hand and Yokosawa stuck around. It was Yokosawa who bet the {q-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{5-Spades} turn and Palevic called. Yokosawa then bet the {10-Spades} river for 600 and Palevic let go.
