Top Pair Gets it Done for Vicente

Ben Weiss

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

The action flop of Q♠5♠A♠ saw Chris Moonin lead out for 3,000 from the small blind. Unai Vicente turned up the pressure, putting in a reraise to 6,500, which got called.

The action then slowed, as both players checked the 8♥ turn.

It was more of the same on the river, with the K♦ checked down. Vicente showed A♥6♣ for top pair, which was enough to send Monnin's cards into the muck.

Player	Chips	Progress
Unai Vicente	92,000 59,500	59,500

The flop came 10♠4♣5♦. Action checked to Gabarro who bet out 1,600. Only Bessaev continued.

The 9♣ turn fell and Gabarro fired once more for 4,100. Bessaev tossed his cards to the muck.

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Ramon Delgado opened to 1,500 from middle position and received calls from Edilson Gouveia in the hijack and Tamerlan Kasinov on the button.

All three players checked through the K♥9♦3♣ flop, leading to the 7♦ turn. Delgado checked and Gouveia bet 3,500 which was enough to force both of his opponents out of the hand and collect a decent pot.

Tamerlan Kaisinov	79,100 79,100	79,100

Serhiienko checked on the flop of Q♣7♥9♣ and Vakaliuk continued for 2,200. Both opponents called. Serhiienko checked again on the Q♠ turn and Vakaliuk also checked. Pisano bet 5,000 and only Serhiienko called.

Serhiienko checked once more on the 7♦ river and Pisano pushed out a stack of chips as he announced all in. Serhiienko folded and showed the 9♦ as he did so.

Franklin Nurmohamed: A♥Q♥
Martin Sejer: K♥10♥

At the sight of both tabled hands, Sejer announced "Royal Flush!"

The board ran out 8♠K♣3♣J♠3♠. A flopped king saw Sejer pull out in front and Nurmohamed was sent to the rail.

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

A middle position player limped in before Alexandre Mitjavila jammed a stack of 5,100 from the button. Babak Nasrollahzadeh called in the small blind and the limper folded.

Alexandre Mitjavila: 8♦8♠
Babak Nasrollahzadeh: 9♠9♥

Nasrollahzadeh had his opponent pipped, but the flop landed 4♥3♥8♥ to give Mitjavila a set. The board ran out Q♠Q♥ to give Mitjavila a full house as Nasrollahzadeh made a no-good flush. The dealer pushed the pot to Nasrollahzadeh before the table pointed out that Mitjavila had the winning hand.

Player	Chips	Progress
Babak Nasrollahzadeh	20,000 19,000	19,000
