Coulombe and Hulme Get It All In

Andrew Knowles

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

Antonin Teisseire tried to open the action from under the gun to 5,000 but only tossed in a single chip without announcing his intention and was forced to a call. Claude Coulombe limped in next to act and Andrew Hulme raised it up to 12,500 in the next position.

It folded back around to Teisseire who called and Coulombe slid forward a stack of blue chips worth 100,000. Hulme took a few seconds before making the call for slightly less and Teisseire got out of the way.

Andrew Hulme: A♥K♥
Claude Coulombe: A♦K♠

Both players held the same hand and when the board ran out K♦Q♠4♣9♠5♣, they chopped up the pot.

Kvisthammar Bets and Takes It

Connor Richards

Peter Kvisthammar opened to 6,000 in middle position and got three callers, including the player to his immediate left and the small and big blinds.

Action checked to Kvisthammar on the flop of A♣2♦8♦ and he continued for 12,000, which was enough to bring folds out of each of his opponents to win the Swede the pot.

State Scores Double Off Kassouf

Andrew Knowles

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

The action was picked up in a pot of roughly 90,000 on a completed board showing A♦4♠3♦K♠5♥. William Kassouf was deep in the tank on the button after Adrian State moved all in for 31,500 from the small blind.

"You have a missed flush draw or like ace-deuce here," said Kassouf as he asked the dealer to spread the pot.

After close to two minutes, a player at the table called the clock and Kassouf was given 30 more seconds to act. As the clock hit two seconds, Kassouf tossed in chips for the call. State rolled over A♠2♠ for the rivered straight and the exact hand Kassouf predicted.

"I knew it had to be that or missed diamonds," said Kassouf as he shook his head and recounted his stack.

Paul-Emmanuel Blanc: Q♥Q♠
Hryhorii Shevchenko: J♥10♥

Crocetta Makes Montes Croak With Kings Full

Connor Richards

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

The under the gun player opened to 4,000 and Antonio Crocetta three-bet to 16,000 from middle position. Florian Montes then three-bet jammed on the button for around 50,000 and the initial raiser folded before Crocetta called with a bigger stack.

Florian Montes: 10♠10♦
Antonio Crocetta: K♣K♥

The flop landed 9♦9♣K♠ to improve Crocetta to a full house and have Montes drawing nearly dead before the board finished out A♣Q♦.

"Dead on the flop!" remarked a player at the table.

Crocetta Talks Marcone Into a Call For Tournament Life

Andrew Knowles

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Antonio Crocetta opened to 4,500 from under the gun and both Michel Marcone in early position and Stephan Chekroun in the big blind made the call.

The flop came 7♦5♥4♦ and Chekroun checked to Crocetta who continued for 10,000, which only Marcone called. On the 5♣ turn Crocetta fired again, this time for 22,000. Marcone made the call and the pair saw the K♠ river.

Crocetta took a few seconds before moving all in, just barely covering the roughly 40,000 remaining for Marcone, who went deep in the tank.

"Flushing?" asked Crocetta as he awaited Marcone's decision. After close to a minute, Marcone slid his stack forward to make the call.

Crocetta rolled over A♠A♣ for the overpair and Marcone revealed A♦Q♦ for the ace-high hero call as he made his way to the exit.

An early position player opened to 4,000 and Stephane Cohen-Tanugi three-bet jammed a stack of 16,000 in middle position. Action folded to Nikolai Mamut in the big blind, who four-bet jammed a bigger stack to bring a fold from the initial raiser.

Stephane Cohen-Tanugi: 3♠3♦
Nikolai Mamut: A♣K♥

Cohen-Tanugi was able to survive the flip as the board ran out 6♣7♥5♥4♦6♦ to avoid a chop and improve him to a straight for a double.

Losev Scores Massive Pot

Andrew Knowles

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

The action was picked up in a heads-up pot with 20,500 in the middle on a flop showing A♣J♣2♠. Alexey Losev checked from the big blind to Marco Regonaschi who continued for 8,500, which Losev called.

On the 7♠ turn Losev checked again and Regonaschi assembled a bet of 12,500. Losev took some time before sliding in a check-raise to 42,500 and Regonaschi went in the tank. After close to a minute, Regonaschi moved all in for 83,500 and Losev snap-called with a slightly bigger stack.

Marco Regonaschi: A♠K♦
Alexey Losev: A♥J♥

Losev flopped two pair and Regonaschi was in need of a king to stay alive. The river fell the 6♥ and Losev let out a scream of excitement as Regonaschi made his way to the exit.
