Greenwood Cracks Pecheux's Flopped Set of Aces on River, Doubles Up

Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante
Lucas Greenwood
Lucas Greenwood

Lucas Greenwood opened to 1,000 from early position and Erwann Pecheux three-bet from the button to 2,800. Greenwood called.

The flop came {j-Spades}{8-Hearts}{a-Diamonds} and Pecheux continued for 1,500. Greenwood called.

On the {7-Hearts} turn, both players elected to see a free river card.

The river brought the {10-Hearts} and Greenwood put out a bet of 2,000, leaving 9,500 chips behind. Pecheux thought about his decision for about two minutes before going over the top. Greenwood snap-called and showed {q-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} for the straight.

Pecheux disgustedly flashed {a-Hearts}{a-Clubs} that had flopped a set and tossed them into the muck.

Wilson Gets Paid on Big RIver Raise

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

On a flop of {k-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}, after the action was checked to him, Brandon Wilson on the button placed out a bet of 800, which was called by Ramon Miquel in the small blind.

Both players decided to check the {7-Hearts} on the turn and went straight to the {4-Hearts} river, which double paired the board.

Miquel then led out for 5,000 and after some thought, Wilson raised essentially all in for 21,000, leaving a single 1,000 chip behind.

This sent Miquel into the tank, and after some time made the call, but was shown {k-Spades}{3-Spades} by Wilson for a full house and Miquel mucked.

Aliaksandr Hirs
Aliaksandr Hirs

Aliaksandr Hirs, who took home €277,370 for his third-place finish in the €2,200 ESPT High Roller (Event #26), is off to another scintillating start in the €3,000 Mystery Bounty.

After eliminating Jans Arends in a blind-on-blind battle, where his {a-Clubs}{8-Clubs} cracked Arends' {a-}{k-}, Hirs is rapidly approaching the 200,000-chip mark nearing the second break of the day.

On the {4-Clubs}, Shimizu needed little time before putting in an all-in bet of around 35,000. Albiges snap-called and showed down {3-Spades}{3-Diamonds} for a full house.

Shimizu showed the {k-Hearts}, with his trip kings soundly beaten, and headed out of the tournament area.

Kennedy Takes One from Sammartino

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Dario Sammartino opened under the gun for 1,700 and was called by Anthony Kennedy in the cutoff and Bahadir Hatipoglu in the big blind.

The flop came {8-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{8-Clubs} and Sammartino continued for 1,800. Kennedy instantly called while Hatipoglu folded just as quickly.

The turn brought the {5-Hearts} and Sammartino decided against betting. Kennedy put out a bet of 6,000 and the Italian quickly let his cards go.

Elsewhere at the table, Florian Duta has around 23,000 chips while Aliaksandr Hirs rolls on with over 160,000 in his stack.
