Chisu Chips up

Dan O'Hair

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Andrzej Marczykowski opened to 3,500 from early position and found one caller in Danut Chisu in the big blind.

Chisu check-called a 4,500 bet from Marczykowski on the A♣10♠7♦ flop and a 10,000 bet from Marczykowski on the 3♥ turn.

Both players checked on the 4♦ river and Chisu turned over A♠8♥ for a pair of aces. Marczykowski couldn't beat it and mucked — conceding the pot to Chisu.

Arturas Dauksevic: A♣A♥
Robert Schulz: Q♥Q♦

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Daniel Heredi limped from the small blind, then called after Vasyl Pidhrusnyi raised to 4,000 from the big blind.

Pidhrusnyi continued with a bet of 3,000 on the K♥6♥9♣ flop. Then both players checked the turn Q♣. There was no more action on the river 8♠, as they checked again.

First player to reveal his cards, Heredi showed 6♦2♦ for a pair. Pidhrusnyi had J♦9♦ for a better pair, so he scooped the pot.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

After some preflop raises, Candido Cappiello's stack of 50,000 chips was in the middle against Torsten Pischl, who had the covering stack.

Candido Cappiello: 9♥9♦
Torsten Pischl: K♠K♥

The 10♣8♣2♦3♥A♣ runout did not save Cappiello, and the players shared a fist bump before Cappiello departed from the tournament area.

Meanwhile, Michel Molenaar, who just got second at the €10,200 no-limit hold 'em event, sat at the table with just over 11 big blinds.

Player	Chips	Progress

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

The short-stacked Andre Machado had moved all in for 13,500 from early position, and received calls from both Alexandros Dranovitsas on the button and Maria Kokkinou in the big blind.

The J♥4♦6♣ flop was checked by both active players.

On the 6♦ turn Dranovitsas put out a bet of 10,000, forcing the fold from Kokkinou.

Andre Machado: K♣Q♠
Alexandros Dranovitsas: Ax10x

Machado was behind but the K♦ on the river gave him top pair and secured the triple up.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

On the turn of A♣Q♣6♣J♠, Nabil El Hage was faced with a bet of 20,000 into the pot of about 40,000 from Renato Ardelean and after about 30 seconds he made the call.

The Q♦ completed the board, and Ardelean moved all-in for his remaining 19,500, and Hage sigh-called it off.

Ardelean tabled 8♣4♣ for a flopped flush, and Hage flashed the A♠10♥ before tossing it into the muck.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

There were already 22,500 chips in the middle when Louis Francois and Torsten Pischl saw a flop of 2♦8♣4♣. Francois had a bet of 22,500 in front of him from the big blind, while Pischl had jammed for 163,500.

Francois was deep in the tank but eventually made a reluctant call, covering Pischl by only 2,500 chips.

Torsten Pischl: K♠K♦
Louis Francois: Q♠Q♣

The A♣ gave Francois a flush draw, but no club or queen appeared on the 3♥ river, securing the pot for Pischl. He won a pot of more than 230 big blinds, while Francois was left with less than one of them.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Ambrose Ng opened to 3,500 from middle position, and he was called by Laurent Vauquelin in the hijack and Maria Del Rosario Velazquez on the button.

All three of them checked on the flop 9♠8♠9♣ and the turn 2♦. But on the river K♣, Ng decided to bet 4,500.

Vauquelin folded, but Del Rosario Velazquez called with A♠K♥. "Good hand" said Ng with K♠Q♦, who was surprised to see Del Rosario Velazquez's strong hand.
