Le Vaillant Vanishes in Four-Way Clash

Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Boris Kolev opened the action from under the gun with a raise to 27,000. The action folded to Otto Lemke on the button who called and both blinds, Alexandre Le Vaillant and Mickael Robalo, followed suit.

The flop fell 5♦3♠7♦ and Le Vaillant was first to act. He took this opportunity to lead with an all-in bet worth 101,000. Big blind Robalo saved his final 70,000 chips and let his hand go before Kolev called. Lemke's cards joined the muck and the two remaining players had a showdown.

Alexandre Le Vaillant: K♦10♦
Boris Kolev: 7♥7♣

Le Vaillant had flopped a flush draw and two overcards but his overcards were not live against the set of Kolev. Le Vaillant's fate was sealed as the turn and river were both black cards, 4♣J♣. He fled the scene and his seat was quickly taken by another player.

Dimitrov Picks Off River Bluff From Chabbi

Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

In a three-way pot with 233,000 in the middle on a board showing 7♣4♦2♦9♠, Stefan Dimitrov checked from under the gun to Ionut Decher in the cutoff, who checked as well. Adrian Chabbi tapped the table on the button and the trio saw the 3♣ river.

Dimitrov and Decher checked again and Chabbi cut out a bet of 145,000. Dimitrov went well in the tank, but after almost a minute put in the chips for a call. Decher quickly folded and Chabbi tabled J♦10♦ for jack-high and a missed flush draw. Dimitrov opened 9♣8♣ for top pair and scooped the pot to increase his large stack.

Mary Runs Into Aces

Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

There was quite a bit of action on Table 9 as the under-the-gun player opened to 26,000 and the player in the next seat called. Herve Mary then three-bet jammed a stack of 106,000 from the next seat and a short stack to his immediate left tanked for about a minute before folding.

Next to act was Antonio Beatrice, who four-bet jammed a stack of 158,000. The next few players to act broke the pattern by folding quickly and the other two players in the hand also folded.

Herve Mary: K♣J♣
Antonio Beatrice: A♦A♥

Mary had run into aces and couldn't crack them as the board ran out 2♣Q♦4♠8♠9♠ to mark his elimination.

Metaal Shoves On Facquet

Level 19 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

The action folded around to Vincent Facquet in the small blind who opened for 25,000 and Govert Metaal completed from the big blind.

The flop fanned out A♦A♥2♦ and both players checked their options to the A♣ turn. Facquet checked again and Metaal bet out 13,000, which was called.

On the K♣ river Facquet checked a third time and Metaal took a moment before announcing all in for close to 90,000. Facquet tabled Q♠9♠ to show he was folding his queen-high.

"Did you call?" asked Metaal jokingly as he collected the pot.

Siena checked on the A♠ river and Hachoumi took a moment before betting 58,000. Siena laid it down.

Ana Márquez
Ana Márquez

There were already roughly 90,000 chips in the middle when Ana Marquez bet 30,000 on the 9♦Q♥A♠ flop. Her opponent was Alfonso Simone, who played a stack of well over a million. He made the call and the board paired on the Q♠ turn.

Marquez slowed down and checked, prompting Simone to put in a bet of 70,000. Marquez thought for a bit but eventually let her hand go, claiming to have a bad ace. Simone showed her the Q♦, notifying her that her fold was correct. Marquez was left with a stack of 20 big blinds.

In a heads-up pot with close to 100,000 in the middle on a board showing Q♥J♦2♥9♠, Benjamin Spragg checked from the big blind to Omar Lakhdari under the gun, who bet out 50,000.

Spragg check-raised all in, covering the 160,000 remaining for Lakhdari, who went well in the tank. After some time, Lakhdari opened the Q♣ and tossed his hand into the muck. Spragg collected the pot and now sits with an above average chip stack.
