Vaskaboinikau Chips Up at the End

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

Alexandros Kolonias was deep in the tank on a heads-up turn of {j-Spades}{10-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} as he had checked out of the small blind. Mikalai Vaskaboinikau bet 16,500 in the hijack and Kolonias needed a long time to make up his mind. It was so long that the clock was called on him and 30 seconds ran down without a decision to ensure that his hand was declared dead.

Assorted Stacks Late on Day 1b

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

Alt Triples, Foggin Takes a Side Pot

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

Marc Foggin opened from middle position and Dinesh Alt shoved his last 4,000 from the small blind while Hassan Fares called from the big blind. Foggin three-bet to 14,600 and Fares stuck around to build a side pot.

The flop was {j-Hearts}{8-Spades}{k-Spades} and Fares checked. Foggin bet 9,600 and Fares ducked out of the way to give up the side pot. Action was heads-up with Alt at risk.

Dinesh Alt: {j-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}
Marc Foggin: {a-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}

The turn was {5-Clubs} and the river {6-Diamonds}, with no help for Foggin, and Alt claimed the small triple to stay alive as Day 1b nears the final hands of the evening.

Di Giacomo Keeps on Building

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

Claudio Di Giacomo needed two barrels against Jacques Der Megreditchian to win the pot uncontested and further build his stack. This time, the Italian made it 11,000 to go on the {j-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{3-Spades} turn and his opponent tank-folded to drop below the starting stack.

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.

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.

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.

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.
