Nakamura Calls Correctly Against Di Nicola

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Tamon Nakamura
Tamon Nakamura

In a loaded pot to the {10-Spades}{9-Hearts}{3-Spades}{q-Hearts}{q-Clubs} river, Ermanno Di Nicola bet 11,000 into a pot of more than two times of that while in the small blind. Tamon Nakamura was in the tank in the big blind and eventually settled on the call by flicking in the required chips.

"Good call," Di Nicola said and tapped the table to reveal his {a-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} for a bluff. Nakamura had also missed the board with his {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts} but the kicker played in his favour.

Pitcho Pained by Regonaschi

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Damien Pilkington-Lewis raised to 2,500 and Marco Regonaschi then three-bet to 7,700. Out of the small blind, Didier Pitcho jammed for 45,800 and that sent the initial raiser into the tank. Pilkington-Lewis decided to get out of the way while Regonschi instantly called with the covering stack.

Didier Pitcho: {j-Clubs}{j-Hearts}
Marco Regonaschi: {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts}

The {7-Spades}{7-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{q-Hearts} runout kept Regonaschi ahead while Pilkington-Lewis sighed. "I folded queens. It was the right fold but I would have sucked out," he mentioned in table chat.

The Rezaei's Are Thriving

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Not only Armin Rezaei has chipped up to a healthy stack as of lately but also his brother Daniel Rezaei, who was just now involved in a showdown hand. On the {j-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{5-Spades}{j-Spades}{2-Spades} river, he bet 3,000 and Murat Inam called to get shown the {6-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}. Inam had that beat with a superior pocket pair to claim the pot.

It was only a minor dent for Rezaei, who has more than two and a half times the average stack at his disposal and leapfrogged his brother on the leaderboard.

Darling Takes From Vauguelin With a Three-Bet Shove

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Action was heads-up with {2-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{q-Clubs} on the board when Jonathon Darling bet 23,000 from the big blind. Laurent Vauguelin raised to 52,000 from the button and Darling leaned forward to think about it.

After a moment in the tank, Darling responded with a three-bet shove for around 150,000. Vauguelin took a moment of his own to think it over, but he ultimately got away from it to give Darling the pot. Darling moves to over 240,000 on the day and he now sits among the pacesetters at the top of the leaderboard.

Maher Nouira: {a-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}

Thanks to a board of {9-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{2-Hearts}, Nouira hit the superior flush and sent Lewis to the rail.
