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.

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

Benjamin Winsor raised to 6,500 from early position and faced a three-bet to 19,5000 from Ricardo Tannoury in the cutoff. Winsor folded before Tannoury put in the extra chips required for a call.

Nikolai Mamut: A♣K♦
Ricardo Tannoury: A♥Q♠

The domination would not see a rotation on 7♥7♣A♠J♠2♦, and Mamut's king kicker won him the pot as he doubled up.

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

Deividas Daubaris opened under the gun to 5,500 before getting called by Adrian Mateos in middle position and Satish Sanan in the small blind.

The 8♥K♦J♥ flop checked all the way to Mateos who bet 6,500. He got called by Sanan but Daubaris folded.

The 9♥ landed on the turn and action checked through to a K♠ river. Sanan opted to lead this river for a larger sizing of 20,000. Mateos pondered the bet for almost a minute before finding a fold. Sanan dragged the pot and was involved in the very next hand.

On the next shuffle:

Diogo Coelho opened under the gun to 5,000 before getting a call from Benjamin Spragg in middle postion. The action then folded to Sanan on the button who put in a three-bet to 15,000. Both players called.

The 8♥K♣10♠ flop checked over to Sanan who put out a pot-sized bet of 45,000. That was more than enough to get both of his opponents off their hands and Sanan scooped his second pot in a row.

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

Natan Chauskin made a raise from early position and received a call from Maher Nouira in the hijack. Andrii Pinchuk then squeezed all in for 21,000 from the small blind and the action folded back to Chauskin, who made a four-bet to isolate Pinchuk.

It worked as Nouira folded before apologizing for not doing so earlier as he claimed to be playing four additional tables on his phone. The two remaining players went off to a showdown.

Andrii Pinchuk: 6♠6♣
Natan Chauskin: 2♠2♦

No chops or bad beats for Pinchuk, as the J♠10♥K♠4♠Q♥ runuout remained clean for him, and he doubled up to above the starting stack.

On the board 3♠6♦10♦9♦J♠, Yaghmai hit trips to send Hadioglu to the rail.

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

Pablo Silva and Tom Vogelsang were heads up on a completed board of 3♣6♠2♣Q♠4♠. With 40,500 chips in the middle, Silva made a tiny bet of 3,000 chips.

Vogelsang mulled it over for a bit before throwing in the call. Silva showed K♠6♣ for a pair of sixes, but Vogelsang had the better hand with 2♠2♦ for a flopped set of deuces.

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

Dario Sammartino raised to 5,500 from middle position, and he was called by Parker Talbot on the button. Enrico Camosci in the big blind called too, and all three of them discovered the flop 8♥Q♠J♠.

Sammartino bet 6,500 and Talbot called, but Camosci gave up at this point. Then on the turn Q♣, Sammartino fired a second barrel of 21,000, and Talbot called again.

On the river 3♦, Sammartino slowed down and checked. Talbot took this opportunity to bet 52,000, almost all his stack. Sammartino went into the tank for more than a minute. And he eventually called, but mucked his cards after Talbot showed A♠Q♥ for trips.

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

The action folded to Dominik Nitsche in the cutoff and he called the big blind of 2,500. Edilson Rodrigues then completed the small blind before Benjamin Lebor made a raise to 13,000 from the big blind. Nitshce made the call and Rodrigues folded.

Lebor continued for a small bet of 8,000 on the J♠8♥3♠ flop and Nitsche called. The 8♦ turn then saw Lebor bet 15,000, after which Nitsche put in a raise to 50,000. His opponent made the call and the A♠ river was dealt.

Lebor promptly led out for 70,000 and Nitsche quickly mucked his cards, forfeiting the unconventionally played pot to Lebor.
