Berger Unhappy with Worthington-Leese

Calum Grant

Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Patrick Berger opened to 6,500 from under the gun and called when Leo Worthington-Leese three-bet to 18,000 on his direct left.

Berger check-called for 14,500 on the J♦10♣4♥ flop before the 3♦ turn checked through to the 10♠ river. Berger, with 82,000 behind, checked and Worthington-Leese jammed as the slightly bigger stack.

Berger went into the tank and began to list the hands that he beat and those that he didn't. After a fair bit of thinking time, Berger made the call.

The Austrian was immediately frustrated that Worthington-Leese had rivered trips with A♣10♦, which bested his Q♠Q♦. A small tirade about Worthington-Leese's cards followed before he left the tournament room.

Martin Kury opened to 6,000 from the hijack and was called by Grigorii Rodin in the cutoff, Diego Montone in the small blind, and Mehdi Senhaji in the big blind.

Action checked to Kury on the 7♠5♥J♥ flop and he shoved for 70,500. Rodin confirmed the count and called to put Kury at risk and everyone else folded.

Martin Kury: J♠9♠
Grigorii Rodin: A♦J♣

Kury found himself with kicker issues and the 7♦ turn and Q♥ river were of no help — sending Kury to the rail as the money bubble approaches.

Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Umberto Ruggeri and Marcos Thielke were heads-up on a flop of Q♣J♣3♥ when Ruggeri bet enough from early position to put Thielke all in. Thielke quickly called for his last 90,000 from the button.

Marcos Thielke: K♠10♠
Umberto Ruggeri: K♣Q♦

"Nine or an ace," Theilke pleaded as he shot up from his seat to await the turn. The dealer flipped over the K♥ to improve Ruggeri to two pair, while the 7♣ river completed the board and Thielke was sent to the rail.

Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Azamat Tulepbergenov opened to 5,000 on the button and just behind him, Pavel Marecek shoved for his last 30,000 from the small blind and Tulepbergenov called to put him at risk.

Pavel Marecek: A♣10♦
Azamat Tulepbergenov: 7♦7♣

The 4♣7♠K♥ flop improved Tulepbergenov to a set and left Marecek drawing to runner-runner.

Marecek was drawing dead after the K♣ turn upgraded Tulepbergenov to a full house and an irrelevant A♠ completed the board — eliminating Marecek from the tournament.

John Field: 10♣10♦
Adi Neigauz: A♥K♠

"Keep it low," said Field before the dealer fanned the K♥6♣5♠ flop. Field needed a ten but the 8♠ turn and 9♠ river confirmed his exit.

Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Alexandru Lupuleac raised to 6,000 in early position and Kamil Dobosz called in middle position. Mercedes Osti then three-bet to 20,000 in the cutoff.

Ferdinando D'Alessio called in the small blind, while Lupuleac folded. Doboza moved all in for 115,000 and Osti got out of the way, but D'Alessio spent several minutes counting out his stack before calling.

Kamil Dobosz: A♣K♠
Ferdinando D'Alessio: J♦J♣

Both players took out their phones and began filming the action as the board ran out 4♦8♦9♦8♣2♠.

"Yes. I win!" D'Alessio yelled out, getting up from his seat and unleashing a big fist pump as his jacks held up to send Dobosz to the rail. Osti then admitted she folded two queens.
