Odman Can't Connect as He's Sent to the Rail

Tyler Foran

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Three players brewed a pot of 9,700 and the flop read A♣K♠7♣. Michail Simos checked, and Sergio Somma fired a bet of 3,000 across the line before Adam Odman raised to 7,500. The action was back on Simos who moved all-in, forcing Somma to fold while Odman called off his stack of about 13,500.

Adam Odman: Q♣10♣
Michail Simos: K♦7♠

Odman flopped a straight and flush draw but was unable to connect as the board completed with the 3♦ turn and 9♦ river.

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Waldemar Starostin moved all in from early position for 15,000 and was called by Gary Mamou in the small blind.

Waldemar Starostin: 3♦3♥
Gary Mamou: A♥4♥

Starostin was ahead, but the 8♠5♦4♣ flop gave Mamou a pair of fours.

Starostin was left with just two outs, neither of which arrived on the 6♣ turn and J♠ river. As he left the table, Starostin remarked "Nice call" to his opponent.

Dan O'Hair

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Nobert Staniszewski opened to 2,500 from middle position and action folded to Markus Ganglbauer in the big blind, who shoved for approximately 12,000 from the big blind. Staniszewski asked for a count and then called to put Ganglbauer at risk.

Markus Ganglbauer: 5♦5♠
Nobert Staniszewski: 6♣6♥

Ganglbauer would need some help with his underpair, but the A♦2♠4♦8♥6♦ runout needlessly improved Staniszewski to a set and Ganglbauer was eliminated.

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

The action was joined on the A♦5♦K♣ flop, as Toni Kaukua led out for 2,000 from the hijack. He was called in the cutoff by Giovanni Stagliano and it went to a turn.

Kaukua slowed down as the A♥ came on the turn, choosing to check. Stagliano took the initiative and bet 2,000, which was called.

The Finn checked again on the 7♦ river before Stagliano instantly threw out a 5,000 chip. Kaukua tanked for a while before reluctantly folding his cards, ensuring the Italian added a decent-sized pot to his stack.

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Andrea Crobu opened 2,000 from the hijack and only Martin Staszko called on the button.

The dealer spread a flop of A♦9♦6♥, and Crobu continued for 3,000. Staszko called.

Both players proceeded to check on the Q♠ turn, and 7♠ river. Crobu tabled 6♦5♦, flopping a pair and a flush draw, but it was no good as Staszko showed 8♥7♥, rivering a pair of sevens.

Maxime Taldir

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Georges Sultanem opened to 2,300 from under the gun, then 2023 EPT Barcelona champion Simon Wiciak raised all in for more than 20,000 from the small blind. The big blind folded, and Sultanem snap-called.

Simon Wiciak: 9♠9♥
Georges Sultanem: K♠K♦

The dealer fanned a flop of 5♠J♣A♦. Then Wiciak stood up as the K♣ landed on the turn to give a set to Sultanem, who definitely won the pot after the river 4♥.

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Fahredin Mustafov opened to 2,000 first-to-act and was three-bet to 6,000 by Adam Martinsson in the cutoff. Action folded back to Mustafov, who called.

Mustafov checked to Martinsson on the 5♠10♥9♥ flop and he continued for 5,000. Mustafov responded by shoving for 26,700 total and Martinsson called after getting a count to put Mustafov at risk.

Fahredin Mustafov: K♦K♥
Adam Martinsson: K♣10♣

Mustafov was well ahead with his slowplayed kings, and the Q♥ turn and 7♣ river kept his cowboys in front for the double up.

Linda Nguyen was all-in and was at risk having being called by Mykola Maliuta.
