Petrone Busts Dickerson and Doubles Through Panagiotidis

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Ramiro Petrone
Ramiro Petrone

Vasileios Panagiotidis looked up two shorter stacks when Jules Dickerson was all-in for the last 20,500 and Ramiro Petrone got it in from the very next seat for 50,800, creating the following three-way all-in showdown.

Jules Dickerson: {4-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}
Ramiro Petrone: {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}
Vasileios Panagiotidis: {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}

The {a-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} flop and {10-Spades} river put the Greek on the brink of a double knockout but Petrone spiked the {9-Spades} on the river. Perhaps the most well-known Greek word followed several times, as Panagiotidis exclaimed "malaka" before parting ways with a big portion of his stack.

To those not knowing the meaning, it can be said to a "good friend" or the exact opposite and is frequently used when explaining hand histories.

Heads-up to the {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{10-Spades} turn with 9,500 in the middle, Sirzat Hissou and Charles Garnero got their chips into the middle. Garnero had the inferior stack as he was at risk for the last 34,800 but his {k-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} was ahead versus {k-Spades}{5-Spades}.

Margets Finds a Set of Sevens to Double

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Leo Margets was seen taking in a pot after successfully doubling through Ermo Kosk. She had {7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} showing and Kosk briefly flashed a hand with {a-} before tossing it in the muck.

According to Margets, she raised and Jose Quintas called before Kosk shoved. Margets called the shove for her last 20,000 and Quintas got out of the way. Her sevens outdrew Kosk and she secured the double as the final break of the evening nears.

Spragg Jumps to a Bigger Stack

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Benjamin Spragg
Benjamin Spragg

Benjamin Spragg raised to 2,200 on the button and then called the shove by Ovidiu Ont for 15,300 in the small blind.

Ovidiu Ont: {8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}
Benjamin Spragg: {k-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}

The {q-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{k-Spades} board gave Spragg two pair and he scored the knockout. Before the table broke right after, Spragg recalled the previous hand in which he more than doubled in a three-way all-in. According to the Brit, Siarhei Ahapau was all-in for 24,000 with {a-}{9-} and Thomas Muehloecker isolated with the {a-}{10-}.

Spragg was at risk for some 60,000 and the {j-}{10-}{5-}{4-}{k-} board gave Spragg the best hand eventually.

Segebrecht Doubles Through Pardo

Level 8 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Only around 18,500 were in the middle to the {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{6-Hearts} river on which Juan Pardo bet 4,500. Claas Segebrecht then jammed for 25,600 and Pardo reluctantly placed a single chip for the call.

Segebrecht tabled the {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds} for aces full and Pardo flashed {8-Hearts}{4-Hearts} for a flush.

"Wow, checked flop?!" Harpreet Gill in the two seat gasped while Segebrecht was paid off.
