Ticherfatine Picks Off Martino Into Break

David Salituro

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

The rest of the field had already left the room for break while Cecile Ticherfatine and Fiodor Martino were still involved in a hand at their table.

On a board of K♠Q♠10♠3♦6♥, Ticherfatine had bet 5,500 from the small blind before Martino stuck in a raise to 14,000 out of the big blind.

Ticherfatine tanked for several minutes into the break before she called. "Nice call," Martino said, turning over A♠4♦ before leaving his seat. Ticherfatine showed A♥J♣ for a flopped straight as she took the pot.

Churbanov Innokentii: 3♣3♦
Chadi El Ghazal: Q♠10♠

Innokentii had a set of threes to have El Ghazal drawing stone dead before the 8♦ river improved Innokentii to a full house as he doubled up.

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Sebastian Hoyos was down to 2,900 when he moved all in from under the gun. Adil Oubaaous called in middle position before Jon Kyte reraised to 9,000 in the cutoff.

Mariia Dviniatina tanked for a few minutes in the small blind before folding, while Oubaaous also got out of the way.

Sebastian Hoyos: A♥7♦
Jon Kyte: A♠10♠

The board ran out 4♥4♠6♦J♦9♠ and Kyte's ten-kicker played to send Hoyos to the rail as Dviniatina looked away from the table.

"You win," Kyte asked her, and Dviniatina nodded.

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

After Antonis Papadopoulos shoved from the cutoff for 5,200 chips, Florian Duta on the button called.

Antonis Papadopoulos: 10♥10♣
Florian Duta : A♠K♠

Even if there was a chance to split on 8♦A♦6♦4♦, it didn't happen with the 3♥ on the river, so Papadopoulos was eliminated because Duta hit a pair on the flop.

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Adrian Pawlowski and Justinas Jachimavicius were heads-up on a flop of J♦9♥4♦ and with 10,000 already in the pot. Pawlowski then bet 5,000 from the hijack and Jachimavicius took his time before calling.

The turn came the 5♠ and Pawlowski bet another 11,000. Jachimavicius again took several minutes to make his decision as a few players around the table began to get up and walk around.

Jachimavicius eventually called to the K♥ river, where Pawlowski then shoved all in for 16,000. Jachimavicius this time acted quickly and tossed his cards away.

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Alexis Savvides and Ilia Shmelev had already built a pot of around 15,000 heading to the turn on a board of 8♥2♠6♠K♦. Shmelev then bet 14,000 from the big blind and Savvides called on the button.

The river came the 5♥ and Shmelev slowed down and checked. Savvides then moved all in for 27,000, sending Shmelev deep into the tank for several minutes.

Conor Beresford, who had only just registered and taken his seat at this table while the hand was in progress, asked if he was allowed to call the clock as Shmelev continued to tank. He eventually folded and Savvides dragged in the pot.
