Conqui Shoves the Flop to Take a Big Pot

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

After a clash before the flop, a big pot of over 225,000 was brewing in the middle and {8-Clubs}{9-Spades}{k-Hearts} was on the board. Alessandro Adinolfo bet 75,000 from the big blind and Jerome Conqui quickly and excitedly announced he was all in from the button. Adinolfo leaned back.

After a few moments of thought, Adinolfo got away from it and Conqui took the pot.

The win was not without distraction, however, as Conqui accidentally folded out of turn on the next hand while stacking the big pot. He was given a warning and all was well.

Not a Sad Affair for Simone

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

The action was picked up on the {9-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} flop on which Kazuhiko Yotsushika checked out of the big blind and Eddie Saade did so from one seat over. Alfonso Simone then bet 24,000 on the button for both of his opponents to call.

Yotsushika led the {2-Spades} turn for 50,000 and Saade called. Simone moved all-in to force out Yotsushika while Saade asked for an exact count. The shove was for 149,000 total and Saade tank-called.

Alfonso Simone: {4-Clubs}{4-Spades}
Eddie Saade: {k-Spades}{9-Hearts}

Saade immediately sighed when the cards were turned over and tapped the table with a "nice hand". Simone had the double locked up with his set and further improved to a full house on the {2-Diamonds} river.

Mooney Wins Showdown Pot Against Shehadeh

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Picking up the action on the heads-up turn of {q-Spades}{9-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{4-Spades}, John Mooney opted to check and then called a bet worth 57,000 by Luigi Shehadeh from one seat over. The {5-Clubs} on the river slowed down both opponents and Mooney tabled his {q-Clubs}{10-Clubs} for queens and fives. That was good enough to win the pot as Shehadeh quickly mucked his cards.

Valiant Effort by Chilaud Not Rewarded

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Maxime Chilaud opened the action with a raise to 20,000 and Alexandre Le Vaillant then three-bet to 53,000 on the button. Chilaud four-bet jammed with the covering stack and that sent Le Vaillant into the tank. He had 343,000 total at his disposal and eventually called all-in.

Alexandre Le Vaillant: {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}
Maxime Chilaud: {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}

The pocket pair remained ahead thanks to the {q-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{3-Hearts}{7-Spades} board as Chilaud's stack was cut short once again.

Peffly Flipped Out by Cervantes

Level 19 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

A three-bet to 75,000 was in front of Alex Peffly in the small blind and he then faced the all-in shove by Jaime Cervantes, who had the covering stack in early position. Peffly had around 410,000 total at his disposal and called it off after brief consideration.

Alex Peffly: {9-Spades}{9-Diamonds}
Jaime Cervantes: {a-Spades}{k-Hearts}

The {q-Clubs}{4-Spades}{3-Diamonds} flop and {5-Spades} turn were save for Peffly but the {k-Clubs} fell on the river and Peffly jumped out of his seat in disgust.
