Martinez Takes One From Simone

Andrew Knowles

Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

The action folded around to Alfonso Simone on the button who opened for 1,200 and only Sergi Enric Miralles I Martinez made the call in the small blind.

The flop came Q♥8♣3♥ and Martinez check-called a bet of 1,600 from Simone. On the 5♠ turn both players slowed down with a check to the 9♣ river.

Martinez took a moment before tossing out a large bet of 6,000 and Simone went in the tank. After close to a minute of thought, Simone let his cards go and the pot was shipped to Martinez.

Mika Good at Showdown

Connor Richards

Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

Andre Jeambrun raised in middle position and Ramunas Mika called in the hijack, while the big blind also came along.

The big blind checked on the flop of A♠3♣K♣ and Jeambrun continued for 1,600. Only Mika called. Jeambrun then checked on the 5♣ turn and Mika checked back.

Jeambrun checked again as the 6♣ river brought a fourth club and Mika also checked. Jeambrun showed 7♠7♥ for a pair of sevens, but it was no good against the K♠J♠ of Mika for a pair of kings.

Connor Richards

Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

Lucas Rocha raised to 1,700 in the small blind and Antoine Labat three-bet to 5,300 in the big blind. Rocha called as another player joked that there were "too many pros at this table."

Rocha checked on the flop of 3♣9♥2♥ and Labat continued for 4,500. Rocha called. Rocha checked again on the 4♠ turn and Labat bet 6,000. Rocha went in the tank and called.

Rocha checked a third time on the 2♦ river and Labat emptied the clip by moving all in for 13,700. Rocha went back in the tank and eventually called. Labat tabled A♣5♥ for a Wheel and Rocha was forced to show A♥10♣ for ace-high.

Kassouf Can't Find The Last Barrel

Andrew Knowles

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

In a heads-up pot with just over 17,000 in the middle on a board showing J♥8♠7♦4♦, William Kassouf fired from early position with a sizing of 15,000 and Francesco Di Profio made the call on the button.

The K♥ completed the board and Kassouf checked over to Di Profio who after a moment tapped the table to check back. Kassouf was hesitant to show his hand but eventually rolled over 10♦6♦ for a missed straight and flush draw. Di Profio tabled 7♣5♣ for a pair of sevens to scoop the pot.

"I thought you slow played kings or something. I thought you had a better hand," said Kassouf as he was in disbelief of the hand Di Profio held.

"It's PokerStars, what do you expect?" replied Di Profio jokingly while he collected the sizable pot.

Andrew Knowles

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

In a heads-up pot with close to 7,000 in the middle on a flop showing 9♦7♥2♥, Gilles Silbernagel checked from middle position to Otar Gurgenidze on the button who bet out 3,000, which Silbernagel called.

On the 10♣ turn both players checked their options to the 3♠ river. Silbernagel elected to lead out for a bet of 1,000 and Gurgenidze quickly tossed in a chip for the call.

Silbernagel tabled 7♣4♦ for a pair of sevens but was no good against the 8♥8♦ for Gurgenidze to secure the pot.
