Nader Gets Value with Nines

Ben Weiss

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

Andreas Scheelen opens to 40,000 in the hijack and gets called by Alfred Nader in the big blind.

The 2♠9♦10♥ flop sees both players check to a turn.

Nader leads out for 20,000 on the 6♠ turn and is called.

A 2♦ river prompts another 20,000 bet from the Lebanese, who once again gets called. He shows the Q♥9♠ and it's enough to get Scheelen to muck his hand.

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

Spiridon Apartoglou raised to 40,000 from early position and received a call from Marian Fridrich in the next seat over. The action then folded to Catalin Moraru, who put in a three-bet to 165,000.

Apartoglou jammed all in for 615,000 once it was his turn again and Fridrich got out of the way before Moraru quickly called to put Aparoglou at risk.

Spiridon Apartoglou: K♥K♣
Catalin Moraru: A♣K♦

No miracle ace appeared on the 4♥Q♣Q♠3♠J♠ board, resulting in Apartoglou's double-up to a seven-figure stack.

Expensive Mistake for Peretti

Maxime Taldir

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

Michel Peretti opened to 45,000 from the hijack but saw Agostino Ascone raise to 105,000.

"One-five," said the dealer. So, Peretti, who almost doesn't speak English and didn't see the exact amount of the raise, put 150,000 in front of him to call. However, this "one-five" was too much to call. After the floor was called, he was forced to raise to 165,000.

Seeing this mistake, Ascone took the opportunity to raise all in for 725,000. Peretti snap-called.

Michel Peretti: A♣K♥
Agostoni Ascone: A♦A♠

Peretti mentioned that if he had called, he could have folded on the 9♠2♣4♥ flop, the J♥ turn, or the 7♣ river. But here, he had to give almost all his stack to Ascone.

At the same table, Pablo Silva and Patrick Beuter both have more than 2,000,000 chips.

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

Picking up the action on the river with the board reading 9♠6♦Q♦Q♣7♣ with 350,000 in the middle, Frank Reichel put out a bet of 110,000.

His opponent, Catalin Moraru considered the position for a moment before making the call. Reichel showed pocket jacks and Moraru turned over pocket kings, sending Moraru's stack up to 1,400,000.

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

Alejandro Lococo pushed his stack of 180,000 in from under the gun and the action folded to Patrick El Kallas in the big blind, who made the call after weighing his options for a bit.

Alejandro Lococo: Q♣J♦
Patrick El Kallas: A♥4♠

The flop remained clean for El Kallas with 6♥2♥7♣, but the J♣ turn saw Lococo take a big lead. El Kallas bricked the 7♦ river and Lococo doubled up to a slightly more manageable stack.

The J♠9♥A♣ flop was checked through by both players.

On the J♣ turn, Karim took the lead and put out a bet of 45,000. Sunjevaric called.

Both players checked the 10♣ river. Karim showed K♠J♦ for three jacks and Sunjevaric mucked his hand.

Siden Tens Send Schulz to the Rail

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Ben Weiss

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

Anton Siden opened to 40,000 from the button and after a little deliberation, Robert Schulz shoved all in in the big blind. Siden, who covered the German, made the call.

Robert Schulz: A♣5♦
Anton Siden: 10♣10♥

Schulz didn't hit his ace on the flop, with the board running Q♠J♣8♦.

The turn was a 7♠, meaning Siden needed to fade three outs to scoop an important pot.

He did, with the 8♥ landing on the river, which sent Schulz to the rail just before the break.

Mauro Fungo shoved for 225,000 from the big blind and Wyrzykiewicz announced he was also all in for more. Everyone else folded and hands were revealed.

Mauro Fungo: 8♣8♥
Remigiusz Wyrzykiewicz: A♦K♠

The 5♦2♣3♥Q♦6♠ runout kept Fungo's eights best and he doubled up through Wyrzykiewicz .

Lucky River for Chisu

Maxime Taldir

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

Everybody folded to Danut Chisu who shoved for 320,000 in the small blind. Bartlomiej Basiaga in the big blind looked at his cards and eventually called.

Danut Chisu: Q♣9♣
Bartlomiej Basiaga: K♠Q♥

Chisu found a straight draw on the J♦4♦8♦ flop but was still on the edge of elimination after the turn 3♥. Fortunately, luck was on his side as his straight was completed with the river 10♠.

Down to 55,000 chips, Basiaga was eliminated a few hands later.
