Flop Action Sees Lankinen Go Broke

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

A modest pot of 4,500 chips was in the middle of the table, along with a flop of 2♣Q♥7♣. Avihai Smadga had put 2,500 chips more in the pot from the cutoff before Tommi Lankinen raised all-in to 11,600.

Andraz Gognjavec then three-bet to 23,400, his entire stack. Smadga asked for a count but elected to fold his hand once he received it, leaving the other two players to battle it out.

Tommi Lankinen: K♣10♣
Andraz Gognjavec: K♦Q♦

Lankinen paired his ten on the 10♥ turn, giving him some outs in addition to his flush draw. However, Gognjavec's top pair would hold on the 6♦ river, and he was shipped the pot while Lankinen quickly headed to the exit.

The pot stood at approximately 13,000 with two players looking at a board that read 2♣6♥K♥6♦.

Peter Jorgne, in the big blind, bet out for 6,500 into opponent Patrick Berger, who was under the gun. Berger called.

The 3♦ river saw Jorgne empty the clip, moving all in for 10,200. Berger almost beat him into the pot as he made the call. Jorgne tabled A♠Q♦ for ace-high, while Berger sent him to the rail with A♥K♣, for top pair.

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Jean Autran raised to 1,000 from early position and Vahe Ter-Khachatryan called from the cutoff. Reouven Attias then jammed all in for 10,400 from the small blind, leaving the action on David Einbinder in the big blind.

Einbinder rejammed for 25,000 chips, which forced the other two players out of the pot and created a heads up showdown.

Reouven Attias: A♠10♠
David Einbinder: 10♥10♦

Attias turned some extra outs on 2♦6♣J♣Q♣, but the 2♣ river bricked out and saw him depart early from the Eureka High Roller.

Andrzej Powalka
Andrzej Powalka

Andrzej Powalka raised to 800 from under the gun, Andre Sammour three-bet to 1,800, Julien Sitbon called in late position, and Powalka called.

The flop came Q♦9♠Q♣. Action checked to Sitbon, who bet 2,000. Both Powalka and Sammour called.

The turn was the 10♣. Powalka checked and Sammour bet 6,000. Sitbon had a think before folding, then Powalka check-raised all in for 21,000. Sammour made the call and was covered as players turned their cards.

Sammour showed A♥Q♠ for trip queens. Powalka, however, flipped Q♥9♥ for a flopped full house.

The river came the 7♣. Powalka held to win the pot and near-double his stack, while Sammour was eliminated early.

"Nice flop!", said Sitbon.

Level 2 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

On a completed board of 7♦10♥A♠A♦9♥, Masato Kashiwabara bet 11,000 chips from the small blind into the pot of 17,000. Jean Autran was the opponent and he pushed all in, playing only slightly more than Kashiwabara.

Kashiwabara quickly called and showed A♥5♥ for trip aces.

That was crushed by Autran's 10♦10♣ for a full house, however, and he doubled up while Kashiwabara took the most direct route to the reentry desk.

The board ran out 5♥A♥4♦2♣8♣. This classic flip fell in the favour of Rahm as he paired his ace on the flop, ultimately eliminating Banic.
