Jaros Extends His Lead

Level 29 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Patrik Jaros
Patrik Jaros

Patrik Jaros limped in from the small blind and Maher Nouira checked to the {a-Spades}{6-Hearts}{2-Hearts} flop.

Jaros bet 100,000 and Nouira called before both players checked down the {j-Clubs} turn. The river was the {j-Spades} and Jaros bet another 300,000.

Nouira quickly called and Jaros showed {9-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} to take the pot with two pair, jacks and sixes.

A few hands later, Jaros raised to 200,000 from under the gun and was called by Paul Fischill and Valentin Cristea in the blinds.

The flop came {2-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{a-Clubs} and both opponents checked before Jaros bet 150,000. Only Fischill called to the {j-Spades} turn when Jaros fired out another 350,000.

Fischill flashed Jaros a smile and began shaking his head before surrending another pot to the chip leader.

Maher Nouira

Action folded to Maher Nouira who limped from the small blind and Fabiano Kovalski checked from the big blind.

The flop came {k-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{6-Clubs} and Nouira check-called a bet of 150,000 from Kovalski.

The turn was the {j-Spades} and Nouira check-called another bet of 375,000 from Kovalski.

The {q-Clubs} completed the board and Nouira checked once more. Kovalski fired 700,000 and Nouira gave it some thought, using one of his time bank cards, then check-raised all in for 1,785,000.

Kovalski went deep into the tank, using multiple of his time bank cards, then tossed in chips signifying a call. Nouira turned over {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades} and Kovalski revealed {k-Hearts}{10-Spades} to win the pot with a pair of kings, eliminating Nouira in 11th place for €117,140.

"Is this my welcome," Bendinelli said before he folded.

The next hand, he called a raise to 200,000 by Jaros from the big blind and they went heads-up to a {j-Hearts}{10-Spades}{4-Spades} flop. Bendinelli checked to Jaros, who continued for 150,000.

Bendinelli called, then called another bet of 650,000 on the {q-Diamonds} turn. He checked the {5-Diamonds} river and Jaros this time checked behind.

Bendinelli showed {a-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} for a flopped pair of jacks to take the pot.

Kayhan Mokri: {k-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}
Scott Margereson: {5-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}

Mokri needed to improve to survive, and the {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} flop vaulted him into the lead. The {j-Diamonds} turn left him just needing to fade a river five, and the {4-Clubs} completed the board to secure his double.
