Lucky Flop For Reard

Maxime Taldir

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

After an open by Rachid El Yaacoubi in the cutoff, Aurelie Reard on the button shoved for 50,000. In the big blind, Paul De Keijzer raised all in with a bigger stack, and made El Yaacoubi fold.

Aurelie Reard: A♠8♣
Paul De Keijzer: J♣J♦

Relief was visible on Reard's face when the dealer fanned a flop of 4♥8♦8♥ to give her trips. The 7♦ came on the turn and the 2♦ on the river, and Reard secured a double up.

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

Peter Tordai : 2♥2♣
Antoine Vranken: K♦Q♣

Tordai stayed at his seat after the board 8♦6♠J♦6♦8♣. But he eventually had to left, because the two pairs on the board and Vraken's king became the best hand on the river.

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

With around 35,000 in the pot on a board of 5♠3♦9♠6♦, Gonzalo Leal Moreno bet 29,000 from under the gun before Gaelle Baumann moved all in for 122,000 from the button.

Leal Moreno tanked for several minutes before he called with A♠J♠ for the nut flush draw. Baumann turned over 6♥6♣ for a turned set of sixes.

The river was the spade Leal Moreno was looking for, but it was the 6♠ as Baumann made quads to secure the pot. The stacks were counted down and Leal Moreno had her covered by just 4,000 as Baumann doubled up.
