Frank Visser

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

Mateos shot up on the leaderboard as he became one of the top stacks in the field.

Lukovic Runs Into Two Pair

Maxime Taldir

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

Nemanja Lukovic decided to limp from early position, giving the opportunity for Kuljinder Sidhu to call on the button and for Fabrice Bigot to check his option in the big blind.

On the flop 10♦A♦8♠, everybody checked to Sidhu who bet 7,000. Bigot check-called, but Nemanja Lukovic check-raised all in for 62,000 chips. Then Kuljinder Sidhu shoved, and Bigot folded.

Nemanja Lukovic: A♣K♠
Kuljinder Sidhu: 10♣8♣

Lukovic hit top pair on the flop, but it wasn't enough as Sidhu had two pair. The turn Q♥ and the river 6♦ didn't change anything, and Lukovic was eliminated.

Mateos Busts Papazian in Four-Bet Pot

Frank Visser

Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

The action in this hand was caught on the river, but Wooram Cho was kind enough to provide PokerNews with the details of the hand.

After an open from Satish Sanan from middle position, Alexandru Papazian three-bet from the button before Adrian Mateos made a four-bet from the small blind. The action folded back to Papazian, who made the call.

Mateos then bet two streets on the 9♣4♥2♣4♠ board and Papazian called twice. The pair then arrived on the 6♠ river, having created a pot of roughly 150,000 chips. Mateos then jammed all in, covering Papazian 37,500 stack.

Papazian used multiple time bank extensions and repeeked his cards several times before committing to the call. Mateos tabled K♠K♦, after which Papazian flung his cards into the muck. The dealer retrieved the 7♠7♥ he called with and Mateos was awarded the big pot.

Nicolas Chouity: A♣Q♣
