Calamusa Chips Up Early On

Level 11 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

In a three-bet pot with 11,000 each invested to the {k-Spades}{9-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} flop, Pierre Calamusa check-raised to 25,500 and was called only by Lucas Sfez from two seats over. As they headed to the {4-Spades} turn, Calamusa bet 24,500 and Sfez mulled over his decision for a while before tapping the table in defeat and folding.

Fuchs Can't Hold with a Set

Level 11 : 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Florian Fuchs opened to 3,500 from the hijack and Guillaum Diaz defended from the big blind. The flop came {10-Hearts}{9-Spades}{5-Diamonds} and Diaz checked to Fuchs who threw in a bet of 2,500. Diaz check-raised to 10,000 and Fuchs just called.

The turn brought the {q-Diamonds} and Diaz dropped in a stack of 5,000 chips. Fuchs instantly called off his remaining 18,000 chips and the cards were tabled.

Florian Fuchs: {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}
Guillaume Diaz: {k-Spades}{q-Hearts}

Fuchs flopped a set of tens while Diaz held a pair of queens with a straight draw. The river was the {j-Spades}, giving Diaz a straight and sending Fuchs to the rail.
