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.

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.

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.

Sitbon Soars to a Big Stack

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante
Julien Sitbon
Julien Sitbon

Valerii Kalynych check-called a bet worth 15,000 on a completed board of {6-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} river while in the big blind. Julien Sitbon tabled the {5-Clubs}{2-Clubs} from an early position and Kalynych mucked his {a-Clubs}{3-Clubs} with a lot of frustration.

One hand later, Sitbon opened to 800 and called a three-bet to 2,300 by Luciano Cutri. On the {9-Hearts}{3-Spades}{2-Clubs} flop, Sitbon check-called for 5,000 and the {8-Clubs} turn was checked. Following the {2-Diamonds} river, Sitbon bet 7,000 and Cutri paid that off. Sitbon exposed {9-Spades}{8-Spades} for nines and eights to win the pot.

Bayram Doubles Through Reusch

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

The completed board showed {q-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{9-Spades} and Frederik Reusch bet 4,000. Haci Bayram pushed all-in for 14,500 and that sent his opponent into the tank.

After plenty of table chat, Reusch called and Bayram tabled {10-Clubs}{8-Clubs} for a straight to double as Reusch only had {j-Spades}{6-Spades} for two pair.

Calamusa and Teusl Among Recent Casualties

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Pierre Calamusa and Jessica Teusl were eliminated in quick succession and the latter provided the details. According to Teusl, an overpair for Calamusa was no good as Rachid Amamou had flopped trips fives with eight-five.

Teusl herself lost most of the chips with a set of queens against a flush and departed shortly after.

On the same table, Amamou then bet a {q-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} river for 3,500. Namhyung Kim raised to 13,100 and Amamou shrugged, then folded the {7-Spades} face-up. "I believe you," he added as Kim exposed the {a-Diamonds}.
