Brechot Busts to Strickling

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Bastian Strickling opened to 2,000 from early position, and after a middle position flat, Pascal Brechot moved in his 19,000 chips from the small blind. Strickling was the lone caller.

Pascal Brechot: {a-Spades}{q-Hearts}
Bastian Strickling: {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}

The {k-Spades}{q-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} flop gave each player a bit of something and provided chip outs, but the {j-Hearts} and {k-Hearts} completed the board to give Strickling a boat and the pot.

Turned Set Saves Hong

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Steven Jones Jr completed in the small blind and Jinho Hong raised from the big blind. Jones responded with a limp-jam and Hong called off with his stack of 33,700.

Jinho Hong: {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds}
Steven Jones Jr: {k-Spades}{8-Clubs}

The flop came {k-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{a-Clubs} to pull Hong out of his seat as his opponent had gotten there, but the {q-Clubs} then peeled off on the turn to give Hong a set and have Jones drawing dead headed to the {2-Diamonds} river.

Reard Reared by Ji's Jacks

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Alexandre Reard
Alexandre Reard

In a three-way pot on a flop of {5-Clubs}{5-Spades}{7-Diamonds}, Alexandre Reard got his stack of 7,000 in the middle and was called by Min Ji, while the third player in the hand folded.

Alexandre Reard: {7-Hearts}{6-Diamonds}
Min Ji: {j-Diamonds}{j-Spades}

Reard had flopped top pair but couldn't get ahead of the overpair of his opponent as the board finished out {4-Hearts}{6-Spades} to improve the Frenchman to a meaningless two pair and mark his elimination, though he bought back in shortly after.

On a board reading {3-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}, Tibor Szenasi bet 1,700 only for Alejandro Lococo to raise to 11,700.
