Selides Doubles Up

Maxime Taldir

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Markkos Ladev opened to 10,000 from the cutoff, but Luke Marsh on the button three-bet to 28,000. Mathieu Selides took his time, and eventually shoved for 71,000 from the big blind. Ladev folded, then Marsh asked for the count and called.

Mathieu Selides: Q♣Q♦
Luke Marsh: A♦8♣

The flop of 7♠6♥5♥ was very bad for Selides, but he dodged bullets on the turn 2♣ and the river 7♥ to double up.

Player	Chips	Progress
Luke Marsh	325,000 100,000	100,000
Mathieu Selides	149,000 89,000	89,000

Action folded to Diego Montone in the small blind who raised enough to put Antoine Saout all in. Saout called for his last 104,000.

Antoine Saout: K♣Q♠
Diego Montone: A♣10♥

The board came 7♥10♦5♦8♥ and Montone remained in the lead with his pair of tens, but the river brought the Q♣ and Saout hit a pair of queens to double up.

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Viktor Jensen raised to 11,000 from middle position, Anton Suarez called in the hijack, as did Antoine Labat, on the button.

All three players checked the hand through to the river as the full board now read 10♠J♦8♦3♥4♣. Jensen put out a very delayed continuation bet of 30,000, which was enough to get both Suarez and Labat to fold.

Player	Chips	Progress
Antoine Labat	300,000 5,000	5,000
Anton Suarez	270,000 20,000	20,000

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Marius Kudzmanas bet 15,000 from the cutoff on a flop of 4♦4♥2♥ and Salih Atac then raised to 40,000 in the small blind.

Yevgeneiy Golenko called in the big blind and Kudzmanas then moved all in for 130,000. Atac reshoved and Golenko threw in all his time bank chips as he began tanking. He eventually called for 134,000.

Marius Kudzmanas: Q♥Q♣
Yevgeneiy Golenko: K♦4♠
Salih Atac: A♠A♥

Golenko had flopped trip fours as he was poised to crack the big pocket pairs of his two opponents. The board ran out J♠5♠ and Golenko scooped the pot, sending Kudzmanas to the rail while doubling up off Atac.

Player	Chips	Progress
Yevgeneiy Golenko	440,000 295,000	295,000

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Anton Suarez raised to 10,000 in the cutoff before Niklas Astedt three-bet to 35,000 in the big blind. Suarez then moved all in for 140,000 and Astedt snap-called.

Anton Suarez: 8♦8♥
Niklas Astedt: A♦Q♠

The flop came 8♠3♥4♣ and Suarez spiked a set to leave Astedt drawing only to running cards. The turn was the J♣ and Astedt was already drawing dead as the Q♣ arrived too late to avoid him handing over a double up.

Anton Suarez	290,000 200,500	200,500
Niklas Astedt	180,000 130,000	130,000

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Kubanychbek Abakirov raised to 10,000 from middle position and David Boyaciyan three-bet to 30,000 from the button. Abakirov moved all in and Boyaciyan called for around 100,000 more. He was the player at risk as players flipped their cards.

David Boyaciyan: Q♠Q♣
Kubanychbek Abakirov: K♣10♣

The board ran out J♦3♠7♠6♣K♠. Boyaciyan held with his queens up to the river, but Abakirov paired his king on the river to win the pot. Boyaciyan was eliminated from the tournament.

Maxime Taldir

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

For the third time in a row, Fabian Schmidt opened, this time from under the gun. He was called by Christopher Nguyen in middle position and Niklas Astedt in the big blind.

Schmidt continued for 7,000 on the 4♣K♣A♥ flop, and Nguyen called. Then on the turn 9♣, Schmidt only checked, giving the opportunity for Nguyen to bet 20,000.

Schmidt eventually called to see the river 10♥ where both players checked. First player to reveal his cards, Schmidt showed A♠J♣. Nguyen had a better kicker with A♦Q♥.
