Faria Makes a Wise Check on the River

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Luis Faria raised to 40,000 in middle position and Marton Czuczor defended from the big blind. The flop came K94 and Czuczor check-called a bet of 30,000 from Faria.

The K paired the board on the turn and Czuczor checked again. Faria fired out a bet of 75,000 and Czuczor still called. The 6 completed the board and Czuczor checked one more time. Faria checked it back and Czuczor tabled K4 for a full house to scoop the pot.

Double KO for Kiriopoulos Puts Him on Top

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Demosthenes Kiriopoulos opened to 40,000 in early position and Ivan Banic ripped all in for 230,000 in the small blind. Mehdi Chaoui also jammed all in for around 320,000 in the big blind and Kiriopoulos called to put both players at risk.

Ivan Banic: JJ
Mehdi Chaoui: AQ
Demosthenes Kiriopoulos: AK

The flop fell K86 and Kiriopoulos flopped a pair of kings to take the lead over both of his opponents. The 9 and 2 runout changed nothing and Kiriopoulos scored the double knockout.

Spano Fires on Hearts

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Robert Spano opened from under the gun to 40,000 and got called by Ewen Trevidy on the button and Marco Regonaschi in the big blind.

The flop came out a monotone AK2 and Regonaschi checked to the preflop aggressor. Spano put out a continuation-bet of 55,000, which Trevidy immediately folded to. Regonaschi spent a minute or so in the tank before making the call.

The turn came a fourth heart with the 8 and Spano fired again for 75,000 after another check from Regonaschi. Regonaschi did not like the red cards on the table, as he now quickly folded his hand.

Ripper Finds a Double as Field Thins

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Wagner Ripper
Wagner Ripper

Wagner Ripper is still hopeful to make back-to-back final tables in the €2,200 FPS High Roller. He finished third in the iteration at EPT Paris for €136,050 and is looking to best that score here in Monte Carlo.

When Viliyan Petleshko raised his button to 40,000, Ripper ripped in his stack of 250,000 from the big blind and received an instantaneous call from Petleshko.

Wagner Ripper: QQ
Viliyan Petleshko: 99

Ripper was a huge favorite to double up and achieved that feat when the board ran out J66J10, keeping his dream of a victory alive.

Viliyan Petleshkov
Viliyan Petleshkov

Viliyan Petleshkov raised to 40,000 in the hijack and was called by Wagner Ripper on the button and Azzedine Mehal in the big blind. The flop fell K65 and Petleshkov continued with a bet of 55,000. Ripper ripped all in for 500,000 and Mehal thought for over a minute before opting to fold. Petleshkov instantly called off his stack of 315,000 and the cards were face up.

Viliyan Petleshkov: KK
Wagner Ripper: KJ

The 7 on the turn meant Ripper was already drawing dead and the A on the river secured the double for Petleshkov.

Knezevic Eliminated as he Doubles Keat

Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

The chips already went in preflop when the action was caught. Srdan Knezevic was in middle position and Liu Chun Keat was in the hijack, with the latter being at risk for his stack of 420,000.

Liu Chun Keat: KK
Srdan Knezevic: AJ

Keat needed to fade the ace, which he accomplished when the board ran out 454Q7. Knezevic was left with only 35,000 chips, which he got in the next hand and could not spin up. He exited the tournament in 57th place.
