Salter Sends Marques To The Exit

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Andre Marques
Andre Marques

Jack Salter opened the action to 65,000 from the cutoff and only Andre Marques called in the big blind.

The flop came {10-Hearts}{7-Spades}{5-Diamonds} and both players checked their options. On the {6-Diamonds} turn Marques led out for 60,000 and after little thought, Salter announced a raise to 195,000.

Marques took some time before moving all in for 615,000 total and Salter went deep in the tank. After using several time bank cards, Salter made the call and the cards were shown.

Andre Marques: {4-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}
Jack Salter: {j-Hearts}{10-Clubs}

Salter needed to fade an eight, three or diamond to scoop the pot and eliminate Marques. The river fell the {q-Spades} and Salter won the hand with a pair of tens, sending Marques to the rail in 47th place.

Sergi Panella Navarro: {q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}
Enrico Mosca: {q-Hearts}{q-Clubs}

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Daniel Merrilees
Daniel Merrilees

A massive pot of around 600,000 had already developed between Daniel Merrilees and Patrik Jaros on a board of {10-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{j-Spades}{a-Hearts}{2-Clubs} when Jaros bet 550,000. Merrilees responded by moving all in for 720,000 more.

"Insane. Insane. Insane," Jaros kept repeating as he shot up out of his seat. "Did you f**king get aces? There's no way," he said before eventually calling, showing {10-Clubs}{10-Hearts} for a set of tens. Merrilees turned over {3-Hearts}{3-Spades} for a set of threes.

"Nick slow roll, buddy," Merrilees told Jaros on his way to the exit.

"Nice shove," buddy," Jaros replied as he climbed to around 5,500,000.

Jaros Has Huge Stack After Tiny Bet

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Patrik Jaros raised to 90,000 from the button and Giuliano Bendinelli called in the small blind.

The flop came {k-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} and Bendinelli checked to Jaros, who bet another 60,000. Bendinelli called as the {7-Diamonds} appeared on the turn.

Jaros this time put out 250,000 and Bendinelli again called as the river came the {5-Diamonds}.

Bendinelli checked and Jaros put out a small bet of 30,000. Bendinelli found the price too enticing and threw in a call.

"Flush," Jaros announced, turning over {6-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}. Bendinelli flashed the {8-Hearts} before mucking, claiming he had {k-}{8-Hearts}.

Valentin-Marius Cristea was all in for 1,050,000 from under the gun and up against Gaelle Baumann in the small blind.

Valentin-Marius Cristea: {a-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}
Gaelle Baumann: {j-Diamonds}{j-Spades}

The {3-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} flop was safe for Baumann's jacks, as was the {8-Clubs} turn. But the river brought the {a-Spades} and Baumann lowered her head as she was forced to pay off Cristea.

Boeken Ousted as Jaros Continues Climb

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Noah Boeken
Noah Boeken

On a {q-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} flop, Noah Boeken ended up getting the rest of his approximately 480,000 chips in from the big blind against Patrik Jaros in middle position.

Noah Boeken: {q-Hearts}{10-Hearts}
Patrik Jaros: {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}

Boeken's top pair needed to improve against the cowboys as the {j-Spades} turn left him with even fewer outs. The {3-Spades} completed the board and the Dutchman made his exit, while Jaros added to his chip lead.

"Running good bro," Giuliano Bendinelli noted. "What the f---!"

"It's important, actually," Jaros replied.

Sow's Preflop Aggression Takes It Down

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Kalidou Sow
Kalidou Sow

Kalidou Sow opened the action to 60,000 from the hijack and Daniel Birkmose tried to limp in from the small blind, not realizing Sow opened behind. Birkmose was forced to leave the 30,000 in or call the raise, which he did. Sebastian Toro saw an opportunity and three-bet to 295,000.

Action was back on Sow, who after a moment slid out a four-bet to 750,000. Birkmose quickly folded and Toro went in the tank. After a couple of time bank cards were used, Toro elected on a fold.

"Good spot for you," said Sow to Toro as he dragged in the pot.

"No no, I had a hand. Show, show," replied Toro.

"Give me one time bank card to show," joked Sow as he passed his cards to the dealer.
