Some Faces in the Side Room

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

Nolet Shoves on Astarita; Guerrero Back For Another Run

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

Action folded to Giulio Astarita in the small blind who raised to 800. Guillaume Nolet called in the big blind as they saw the 6103 flop.

Astarita continued for 1,100 and Nolet called. The turn came the 10 and Astarita bet another 1,400.

Nolet called once more before Astarita checked the J river. Nolet then moved all in for 6,500.

"You really have a ten, huh," Astarita said as he mucked.

Jimmy Guerrero, runner-up to Giuliano Bendinelli in last year's Main Event, just sat down at this table. Fahredin Mustafov is also seated at this table.

Velickovic Doubles Off Arajs as Hjulstroem Folds the Winner

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante
Ivan Velickovic
Ivan Velickovic

Three-handed on a flop of Q29, Ingus Arajs bet 4,500 from the hijack and was called by Linus Hjulstroem in the small blind, as well as Ivan Velickovic in middle position.

The turn came the 6 and Arajs bet 7,500. Hjulstroem called once more, but Velickovic then shoved all in for 20,700. Arajas reshoved for 29,400 as Hjulstroem went deep into the tank.

He eventually folded after several minutes and Velickovic turned over AA. Arajs had KK, and Velickovic secured the double up once the 10 fell on the river.

After the hand, Hjulstroem retrieved his 22 and showed it to the table. "You folded that," Arajs said.

"What could you have," Hjulstroem replied, lamenting that he could've busted both players with his set.

Moll Gets Massive Bluff Through as he Forces Mokrani off Top-Top

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

After a series of raises, both Mohamed Mokrani in middle position and Silius Moll on the button put 5,200 each into the middle.

When the J54 flop hit the felt, Mokrani fired a bet of 3,600 and Moll made the call.

The K fell on the turn, and Mokrani slowed down with a check. Moll picked up the aggression, putting 3,800 across the line. Mokrani took some time before deciding to call.

When the 3 landed on the river, Mokrani checked once more to Moll who announced all-in as he dropped a stack of 5,000 chips across the line.

Mokrani went deep into the tank, taking a little over two minutes before folding his AK face-up. Moll looked hesitant to also show until Mokrani said, 'Show the bluff."

Moll did just that, tabling Q10 for queen-high as he dragged in the pot.

Full Over Flush For Franco

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

Valter Marchi opened from the hijack and was called by Juliane Papazian on the button, Sonny Franco in the small blind, and Tudorel Costache in the big blind.

On the flop 9K7, everybody checked to Papazian, who bet 1,400 chips. But next to her, Franco raised to 4,500. Costache and Marchi folded at this point. Papazian seemed to hesitate but eventually called.

The two French players checked on the turn K. Then on the river Q, Franco bet 12,600 chips, keeping approximately 2,000 chips behind. After that, Papazian moved all in and Franco snap-called.

Sonny Franco: 77
Juliane Papazian: A4

"Do you have a full?" immediately asked Papazian. "Yes," answered Franco. Papazian showed her flush and saw almost all her chips going into Franco's hands.

With around 5,000 in the pot heading to the K6K flop, Gerardus Englebert and George Chiriac checked through to the 8 turn.

Englebert then bet 1,800 from early position and Chiriac called in the hijack. The river came the 7 and Englebert then checked.

Chiriac fired out 3,500 and Englebert tanked for a few moments before giving up his hand.
