Assorted Counts in the Field

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

Arrocha Gets Sticky

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

Action picked up on the turn of a three-way pot with about 13,000 in the middle. The board read {3-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{10-Spades}{6-Hearts}.

Bandar Alireza checked his option in the hijack, as did Mario Navarro Arrocha in the cutoff. Francky Magliocco fired 7,500 from the button. Alireza let his cards go, but Arrocha made the call.

The river brought the {5-Hearts}. Arrocha checked once more, awaiting Magliocco's decision. He thought for about 30 seconds before checking back on the button.

Arrocha revealed {7-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} for second pair and a missed gutshot. Magliocco looked at his cards, shook his head, and tossed them into the muck.

Drozd Drills One Outer to Crush Marletta's Aces

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante
Aces, Kings, Ace-King Cooler
Aces, Kings, Ace-King Cooler

Three players played a massive, all-in pot. All the chips got in the middle preflop and roars were heard across the room.

Giorgio Marletta, Leonidas Androutsos, and Ondrej Drozd were the three players involved. All three had monsters.

Giorgio Marletta: {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}
Leonidas Androutsos: {a-Clubs}{k-Spades}
Ondrej Drozd: {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}

Marletta couldn't have hoped for a much better spot, having both opponents drawing very thin. He looked great on the {10-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{2-Spades} flop. The {2-Hearts} was a safe turn. The river caused all the commotion, though, when the one outer {k-Hearts} hit the board. Drozd came from way behind to win the massive pot, send Marletta out the door, and leave Androutsos with crumbs.

Roussey Busts Grossmann and Peffly

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante
Alex Peffly
Alex Peffly

On the river of a {7-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} board, Lukasz Szymon Grossmann checked with a shorter stack behind. Quentin Roussey then pushed all-in and Grossmann reluctantly called to get shown the {q-Diamonds}{q-Hearts} for an overpair. Grossmann exposed {10-Hearts}{10-Spades} and headed out of the tournament area.

Shortly after, he was involved in another larger pot and bet the {8-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{6-Clubs} flop before calling the shove by Alex Peffly for 15,200.

Alex Peffly: {a-Clubs}{4-Clubs}
Quentin Roussey: {q-Clubs}{9-Hearts}

The {9-Diamonds} turn improved Roussey to a pair and the {4-Spades} river sent Peffly to the rail, who could all but smile.

"I kinda misread your stack, guess I could have asked," Roussey admitted in table chat.

Grzegorz Glowny has entered the mix. Last iteration's online qualifier bested 1,190 entrants to win €692,252. He'll look to make another deep run as he gets started this year in level three.

Cutri Gambles and It Pays Off

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante
Luciano Cutri
Luciano Cutri

Luciano opened from the cutoff before Boris Kuzmanovic three-bet the button to 1,600. In the small blind, Ivan Bryskin moved all in for 8,000. He would be getting action.

Cutri made the call that represented half his remaining stack. Back on Kuzmanovic, he moved in enough to cover Cutri's remaining stack. Cutri thought for a while before committing his full stack of 16,000. The three were heading to a runout for all the chips.

Ivan Bryskin: {q-Hearts}{j-Clubs}
Luciano Cutri: {7-Spades}{6-Spades}
Boris Kuzmanovic: {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs}

Kuzmanovic had the goods, but Cutri had a pretty ace-cracking hand. They did just that on the {j-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{7-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{q-Spades} board, flopping trips to win it all.

Cutri started celebrating and shouting in Italian when he saw the lucky flop.

"English, please," joked Bryskin as he stood up to exit.

"English, what is this English," replied Cutri while continuing his celebration.

Amamou Thriving on Second Bullet

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

Rachid Amamou bet the {10-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{5-Hearts} turn for 2,600 from under the gun and Vivian Im called on the button. The {j-Hearts} fell on the river and Amamou quickly bet another 3,800. Im gave it brief consideration and sent the cards into the muck.

"Mama mia," exclaimed Winamax team pro Pierre Calamusa and Amamou replied "mamasitas" before exposing the {q-Diamonds}{q-Spades} for the overpair.

Vranken Gets No River Value

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

Heads-up to the {a-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{q-Clubs} turn, Antoine Vranken checked from an early position. He then called a bet by Alireza Bandar on the button and they headed to the {9-Hearts} river. Bandar checked behind this time and was about to show his cards when Vranken rolled over the {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts} for a full house.

Pots for Bakker and Buonanno

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

Santo Bakker check-called a bet worth 7,500 on the {10-Spades}{7-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{q-Clubs} turn when facing [Removed:511] and that led them to the {7-Diamonds} on the river. Both now checked and Bakker's {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts} was good enough to win the pot.

One table over, Erdal Gulseven bet the pot for 5,000 on a heads-up river of {k-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{j-Hearts} versus Antonio Buonanno. The latter opted to fold and Gulseven leaped back above the starting stack.
