The {j-Clubs} river checked through to showdown and Keating turned over his {9-Spades}{9-Clubs} for a set of nines while Olali had the {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}.

Peffly Chipping Up

Level 4 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante
Alex Steven Peffly
Alex Steven Peffly

Alex Peffly was the aggressor on consecutive hands, adding to his stack without seeing a flop.

In the first hand, Christoph Vogelsang raised to 700 before Simon Higgins slid in a three-bet to 2,000 on the button. Peffly then four-bet from the big blind to 8,000, producing folds from both opponents.

On the next hand, Ole Schemion raised to 700 from under the gun and the action folded around to Peffly in the small blind. He promptly raised to 4,700, leaving Schemion asking "why so much?". The fold was made, and Peffly padded his stack.

Macchiarelli Calls Lococo

Level 4 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

Noah Fischer opened to 700 from middle position and was called by Alejandro Lococo and Luciano Macchiarelli from the blinds.

The {6-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} flop checked through to the {10-Hearts} turn. Lococo bet 2,400 and only Macchiarelli called. The {k-Clubs} river prompted Lococo to bet 7,000 and after a few moments of thinking, Macchiarelli slammed a stack of T-100 chips onto the table to call.

Lococo had the {7-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} for a missed straight-flush draw while Macciarelli scooped the pot with his {4-Clubs}{3-Hearts}.

Guilbert Makes Livschitz Laugh

Level 4 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante
Johan Guilbert
Johan Guilbert

Johan Guilbert opened to 800 from early position, only to be three-bet to 2,500 by Victoria Livschitz to his left. Guilbert made the call to see the {q-Clubs}{q-Spades}{9-Spades} flop.

Guilbert led out with a minimum bet of 300, and called when Livschitz raised again to 1,600. The {6-Clubs} turn produced another min bet from Guilbert, to which Livschitz laughed while confirming with the dealer that 300 was indeed the bet and tossed in the call.

Guilbert then used a time bank after the {9-Hearts} river before firing a bet of 13,100. Livschitz mucked, and Guilbert exclaimed "at least I was able to make you laugh" as he raked in the pot.
