Mehal Makes the Wrong Call

Frank Visser
Frank Visser
Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Azzedine Mehal opened to 50,000 from under the gun and Samiyel Duzgun shoved his 415,000 stack in the middle from the button. It folded back to Mehal, who played just 10,000 less than his opponent.

He would spend the next several minutes in the tank with an agonized look on his face. After counting his stack and repeeking his cards, time was called by someone at the table. The countdown went down to the last three seconds and that is when Mehal made a hasty call.

Azzedine Mehal: 9♣9♥
Samiyel Duzgun: 10♦10♠

Mehal slammed his fist on the table and let out an expletive at the sight of the situation. He could not hit his two direct outs, nor made any other improvement to his hand on a board of 2♦7♣2♣Q♣A♥. The stacks were counted and he was confirmed to be eliminated from the tournament.

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Marton Czuczor raised to 50,000 in the cutoff and Honglin Jiang shipped all in for around 300,000 in the big blind. Czuczor quickly called to put Jiang at risk and the cards were tabled.

Honglin Jiang: A♣10♣
Marton Czuczor: A♦J♥

The flop came J♣7♣4♦ and Czuczor moved even further ahead with a pair of jacks. The K♠ on the turn gave Jiang a straight draw but the 10♥ on the river was not going to cut it.

The chip leader at the start of today, Shinna Okamoto, was sitting in the hijack and three-bet a 50,000 open from early position Igor Pihela Jr. to 125,000. The action folded back to the initial raiser and he did not spend much time before he four-bet all in for roughly 550,000.

Okamoto spent even less time thinking about her decision, as her cards hit the muck before Pihela Jr. could finish his sentence.

Aksoy Continues to Climb with the Elimination of Peyratoux

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Tinay Aksoy came into the day as one of the short stacks with less than 100,000 chips. However, he's gone on a heater thus far and has slowly run up a stack. Aksoy raised to 40,000 in middle position and Jean-Philippe Peyratoux jammed all in for 435,000 on his left. The action folded back to Aksoy who asked for a count before calling.

Jean-Philippe Peyratoux: A♦7♦
Tinay Aksoy: 10♠10♣

The flop came Q♥10♦5♠ and Aksoy flopped a set of tens, leaving Peyratoux drawing slim. The 9♣ and A♠ runout was not enough and Peyratoux became another victim.

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Weiran Pu opened to 50,000 from under the gun before Terje Bremseth made it 125,000 to go from the next seat over. Ewen Trevidy was in the cutoff and made the four-bet squeeze to 600,000, all of his chips.

The action folded back to three-better Bremseth, who commented ''Third time, huh? Third f--king time'', before he forfeited his hand.

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: K♥K♣
Srdan Knezevic: A♠J♣

Keat needed to fade the ace, which he accomplished when the board ran out 4♣5♥4♦Q♣7♠. 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.

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 K♥6♠5♠ 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: K♣K♦
Wagner Ripper: K♠J♥

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

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: Q♥Q♦
Viliyan Petleshko: 9♥9♠

Ripper was a huge favorite to double up and achieved that feat when the board ran out J♥6♠6♥J♠10♥, keeping his dream of a victory alive.
