Kenny Hallaert - Christophe Panetti
Kenny Hallaert - Christophe Panetti

It folded to the blinds where from the small blind, Kenny Hallaert raised to 23,000. Christophe Panetti three-bet from the big blind to 75,000 and Hallaert four-bet jammed all in, Panetti called and the players waited in purgatory for all other hands around the room to finish before the cards were revealed.

After several minutes, it was time to run the all in.

Christophe Panetti: {k-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}
Kenny Hallaert: {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}

Panetti was the one at risk as everyone gathered around to watch the dealer spread the flop {k-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{3-Spades} to give Panetti a set of kings. The turn was the {j-Clubs} to give Hallaert a broadway draw and the river made the room react as the {q-Clubs} came off to bring in the straight for Hallaert and bust Panetti in dramatic fashion to assure every other player a spot in the money.

Yosifov Calls Seire's Bluff on Bubble

Level 17 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

With 150,000 in the middle on a completed board showing the {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{6-Spades}{3-Hearts}, Dimitar Yosifov checked in the big blind before Casimir Seire moved all-in as the covering stack. Yosifov had 222,000 behind and called it off.

Seire tabled his {q-Diamonds}{8-Spades} for queen-high while Yosifov once again flopped trips and scooped with his {k-Hearts}{3-Clubs}.

Elsewhere, there were two more all-ins and a call, but the shorter stacks both doubled meaning we are still on the stone cold bubble.
