Efe Gets Massive Double Through Pepping

Level 30 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Roelof Pepping opened the cutoff to 240,000 before the action made it to Aziz Efe who defended his big blind.

The 77J flop hit the felt and Efe checked it over to Pepping who put out a bet of 150,000. Efe took a moment and then put in a check-raise to 425,000.

Pepping thought it over, looked at the dealer, and announced he was all in. Efe snap called.

Aziz Efe: Q10
Roelof Pepping: KJ

Pepping was in the lead but Efe had plenty of outs. The 9 turn gave him even more in the form of a combo draw. He was looking for a diamond, king, or eight to complete his straight or flush. Luckily he drilled both a straight and a flush in the form of a K river.

Efe got a pure double and Pepping was left with only about six blinds.

Roelof Pepping

Takahiro Tsugu moved all in for 770,000 from the button before Roelof Pepping rejammed in the small blind for around 975,000. Guillermo Gordo was in the big blind and called to put both players at risk.

Takahiro Tsugu: A6
Roelof Pepping: A7
Guillermo Gordo: AQ

Gordo had both players dominated but Tsugu jumped into the lead after being the only player to connect on the 964 flop. The 6 turn gave him the winner and the 5 river confirmed Pepping's elimination.

Level 30 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Alfred Nader raised to 250,000 from middle position, Alexander Van Der Swaluw three-bet to 1,350,000, leaving himself just 10,000 chips behind, from the hijack. Nader called.

The flop came 10QK and Nader checked. Van Der Swaluw put his remaining 10,000 in and Nader called.

Alexander Van Der Swaluw: AJ
Alfred Nader: 99

The turn and river fell the J and 7, respectively, and Van Der Swaluw's flopped straight was good for the full double-up.
