Macori Wakes Up With Queens For Massive Double

David Salituro

Level 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Silviu Baltateanu and Federico Macori got into a pre-flop raising war that ended with Macori all in for his last 118,000 from the big blind as Baltateanu had him covered in the hijack.

Federico Macori: Q♥Q♣
Silviu Baltateanu: J♠J♥

Macori was ahead with his queens and pulled further in front on the 8♦3♠Q♦ flop, hitting top set. Baltateanu was already drawing dead by the 6♣ turn and flung his arms in the air in frustration before paying off Macori on the A♣ river.

David Salituro

Level 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Alisa Sibgatova moved all in for 30,000 on the button as action folded to Aleksandr Burov in the big blind, who snap-called for his last 22,500.

Aleksandr Burov: A♥10♥
Alisa Sibgatova: K♠2♠

Sibgatova was left drawing virtually dead on the 4♣10♦10♠ flop as Burov made trips. The 2♦ fell on the turn, followed by the J♠ river as Burov doubled up, leaving Sibgatova on an extreme short stack.

Flush Over Flush For Bohdanov

Maxime Taldir

Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

In middle position, Alexane Najchaus moved all in, but nobody called. On the next hand, she opened again, this time to 6,000. But in the cutoff, Renat Bohdanov three-bet to 14,000. All the other players folded, and Najchaus called.

On the flop 3♣A♠9♥ and the turn 2♥, both players checked. But on the river 4♥ that brought a third heart on the board, Najchaus took a few seconds before betting 30,000. Quickly, Bohdanov raised all in, and Najchaus called with her 15,000 chips remaining.

Alexane Najchaus : K♥J♥
Renat Bohdanov: A♥8♥

Bohdanov hit the best flush on the river, while Najchaus had the second flush. Holding the smallest stack, Najchaus was eliminated.
