Chrysi Phiniotis was in the big blind and announced a three-bet to 3,100. Moghaddam called, Dorogi folded and Begni also made the call.

On a three-way flop of 10♥3♠6♦, Phiniotis continued for 4,000, Moghaddam called and Begni folded.

The K♣ turn was checked through by both players.

On the 4♠ river, Phiniotis led out with a bet of 8,500. Moghaddam tanked for a couple of minutes before eventually releasing his hand.

Set Over Set Leads to Manfredini Double

Dan O'Hair

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Vincent Cosme limped from early position and Daniel Thiess raised to 1,500 from middle position. Alessandro Manfredini three-bet to 3,500 from the hijack and just behind him, Alexander Gebhard four-bet to 8,000 from the cutoff. Cosme and Thiess folded, but Manfredini called.

Manfredini check-called a 2,000 bet from Gebhard on the 6♥A♦3♣ flop and then both players checked on the 10♠ turn.

The K♥ completed the board and Manfredini bet 10,000. Gebhard announced he was all in and Manfredini quickly called all in for his remaining 26,100.

Gebhard tabled K♣K♠ for a rivered set of kings, but they were no good against Manfredini's A♣A♥ for a flopped set of aces and Manfredini dragged the massive pot.

Action checked to Alibas on the 6♣A♥Q♠ flop and he bet 4,400. Only Sang called.

Both players checked on the 10♠ turn and then Sang bet 11,000 after the K♦ completed the board.
