Gusti-Adrian's River Bet Takes It Down

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

After an open from Sas Gusti-Adrian in late position and a call from Josef Huber on the button, Amatore Terrafino three-bet to 3,000 from the big blind. Sas Gusti-Adrian called but Huber folded.

The flop brought the {3-Hearts}{8-Spades}{9-Diamonds} and Terrafino continued for 2,000. Gusti-Adrian called.

On the {7-Diamonds} turned, Terrafino slowed down with a check. Gusti-Adrian took control with a bet of 4,000. Terrafino check-called.

The river fell the {j-Hearts} and Terrafino checked the final street. Gusti-Adrian bet 6,000, and that was enough to finally shed Terrafino who folded.

Tsaknis Claims Trips, Table Inclined to Disbelieve

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

Vasileios Tsaknis was heads-up with Lior Shabtay on the turn. The board showed {9-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{9-Spades}{6-Clubs} and about 18,000 was in the middle.

Vasileios Tsaknis bet 6,000 from under the gun. Lior Shabtay didn't think long before releasing his hand.

"Nice hand," said a tablemate.

"I had queen-nine of diamonds," said another.

"Ace-nine," claimed Tsaknis.

Most of the table didn't believe him, but he just smiled, shrugged, and dragged the pot.

Felix Schneiders
Felix Schneiders

With nearly 40,000 in the pot, Felix Schneiders looked at the {q-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{7-Spades}{5-Clubs} board on the river. He was heads-up with Gzim Krasnici.

Schneiders moved 35,000 in the middle, enough to cover Krasnici. After a couple minutes of thought, Krasnici called to put himself at risk.

Schneiders showed {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} for top pair. Krasnici tapped the table and mucked without having his hand revealed and made his way away from the table.

Turkie Rides Cowboys to Victory

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Wissam Turkie opened from early position and was immediately three-bet by Thomas Noske on his left. Two late-position players cold-called before action got back to Turkie.

He decided to move all in for 34,600. After a little thought, Noske made the call with the bigger stack. The other two players quickly folded and cards were on their backs.

Wissam Turkie: {k-Spades}{k-Hearts}
Thomas Noske: {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}

Turkie found himself in a great spot with the bigger pair. They held on the {8-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{5-Spades}{7-Spades} runout to basically swap stacks with his neighbor.

El Meray Rides Boat Over Farabella's Flush

Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

Action picked up on the river in a pot worth about 20,000. The full board was {2-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}.

Gianluca Farabella led for about 9,000 on the final street. Mehdi El Meray moved all in for his last 21,300. With El Meray well covered, Farabella tossed in a chip for the call.

Mehdi El Meray: {7-Hearts}{7-Spades}
Gianluca Farabella: {a-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}

El Meray revealed his full house. "What do you got, a flush?" he asked.

Farabella shook his head and showed he did not want to have hit that river diamond as it cost him the maximum.
