Gregor Doubles Through Puczylowski

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Martin Gregor opened to 4,000 in early position and Marcin Puczylowski three-bet to 11,000 from the next seat. Gregor four-bet jammed for 32,000 and Puczylowski snap-called with a bigger stack.

Martin Gregor: {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}
Marcin Puczylowski: {j-Clubs}{j-Spades}

The flop of {8-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{2-Clubs} was no help to Gregor, but the {a-Hearts} peeled off on the turn to give him the lead and the {8-Spades} on the river changed nothing to earn him a double.

River Sends Kameshima to the Rail

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Shogo Kameshima was all in with his last 53,000 from the small blind and was at risk to Sander Ostlyngen who originally opened the action from middle position.

Shogo Kameshima: {9-Clubs}{9-Hearts}
Sander Ostlyngen: {a-Diamonds}{q-Spades}

The pocket pair remained ahead on the {k-Spades}{5-Spades}{6-Clubs} flop and {8-Diamonds} turn. However, the {q-Hearts} river gave Ostlyngen a better pair and Kameshima exited the tournament room.

Agnoletto Getting Loose

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Andrea Agnoletto opened to 4,000 from the cutoff and Lukas Konzett defended out of the big blind.

Konzett checked on the flop of {q-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} and Agnoletto bet 4,500. Konzett called. Konzett checked again on the {6-Diamonds} turn and Agnoletto checked back.

Konzett checked a third time on the {k-Diamonds} river and Agnoletto quickly checked back. Konzett tabled {a-Clubs}{q-Spades} for top pair, but it was no good against the flush of Agnoletto with the old {9-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}.

Konzett smiled in seeming disbelief as he went to his phone to type up what happened.

Two Pair for Shevach

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Ariel Shevach opened to 3,000 from the button and was called by Askild Sjoeng and Boris Progner from the blinds.

The {k-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{9-Diamonds} flop checked through to the {3-Diamonds} turn. Action checked to Shevach who bet 5,000 and only Sjoeng called.

The {7-Spades} completed the board and Sjoeng check-called for 5,000 again.

Shevach had flopped two pair with his {k-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} and Sjoeng mucked after seeing Shevach's hand.

Ricci Makes Nut Flush But Busts

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Andrea Ricci
Andrea Ricci

Action was caught on the {j-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} flop with 55,000 in the middle. Yevhen Pavlenko was all-in for 83,500 from the hijack and Andrea Ricci was the only player left to act.

Ricci was narrowly covered and committed the remainder of his stack.

Andrea Ricci: {a-Clubs}{4-Clubs}
Yevhen Pavlenko: {2-Spades}{2-Diamonds}

Pavlenko was ahead with a set of deuces while Ricci was drawing to a flush. The {a-Diamonds} turn changed nothing but the {7-Clubs} river gave Ricci the flush. However, as the board paired, Pavlenko improved to a full house and scooped in the massive pot.
