Sim Runs into Sterner's Straight

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Ludvig Sterner opened to 500 on the button and found one caller in Jae Kyung Sim in the big blind.

Sim check-called a 900 bet from Sterner on the 95K flop and then Sim led out for 1,200 on the Q turn. Sterner called.

The 4 completed the board and Sim bet 2,500. Sterner called and Sim revealed K5 for flopped two pair. They were no good, however, against Sterner's J10 for a turned straight and Sim dragged the pot.

Kozenkai Puts in a Big Shove on Sagra

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Heads-up on a flop of 2710, Ignacio Sagra bet 2,200 from under the gun and Bjorn Kozenkai called in early position.

Both players checked the 3 turn and Sagra also checked the 3 turn. Kozenaki then moved the rest of his stack forward, a stack of around 17,000.

Sagra, with nearly the same amount remaining, lifted his cards off the felt and took one last peek at them before throwing them back to the dealer.

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Danilo Gomes raised 600 in early position and was called by Raffaele Battaglioni on his left and Matias Tagliani in the cutoff.

The dealer spread a flop of 862, and Gomes continued for 1,000. Only Battaglioni called.

The 6 paired the board on the turn and Gomes fired another shell of 2,500 and Battaglioni stuck around, putting in a call.

When the 8 completed the board, Gomes continued with aggression putting 3,500 across the line. Battaglioni took only a few seconds before making the call. Gomes tabled AA and Battaglioni mucked his hand.

Two Pairs For Hernandez

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

After an open by Ricardo Hernandez on the button to 600, Frederic Van der Mersch defended from the big blind.

The dealer revealed a flop of QQ10 where Hernandez c-bet 600. He was called once again, then both players checked on the river J.

Van der Mersch checked a third time, and went into the tank when Hernandez bet 1,200 chips. Van der Mersch eventually called but lost the hand against Hernandez's AJ.
