Di Ceglie Checks in the Dark

Patrick Cole

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

Andrii Kozlenko opened from under the gun to 5,000. Action folded around to Pasquale Di Ceglie in the big blind who defended.

Di Ceglie checked in the dark before the flop of 5♦2♠6♣ was dealt and Kozlenko bet 5,000. Di Ceglie called and checked in the dark once more.

Kozlenko checked the 2♦ and the 8♠ was dealt on the river.

Di Ceglie knuckled after seeing the river and Kozlenko knuckled back. Di Ceglie showed 9♣5♣ for two pair and Kozlenko mucked.

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

Action folded around to the blinds, where Dejan Jakovljevic raised to 8,500 from the small blind and Diogo Veiga three-bet to 25,500 from the big blind.

Undeterred, Jakovljevic pushed out a four-bet for a bit less than 100,000 and Veiga quickly folded. Jakovljevic re-checked his hole cards and placed them into the muck before collecting the pot.

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

Jaroslaw Lipien bet 18,000 from the hijack on a board of 4♦5♥A♦3♦ and Hussein Abud called on the button.

The river was the 7♥ and Lipien bet another 40,000. Abud tanked for a moment, then called.

Lipien showed K♦Q♠ for a bluff and Abud turned over 5♠2♣ for a straight as he took the pot.

"I'm an action player," Abud said.

"I can see that," tablemate Moritz Dietrich said.

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.

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

After 2023 EPT Monte-Carlo finalist Leo Worthington-Leese opened from middle position and was called by the button, Dominykas Mikolaitis raised all-in for 87,000 from the big blind. He was only called by Worthington-Leese.

Dominykas Mikolaitis: J♦10♦
Leo Worthington-Leese: A♦A♥

Even though Mikolaitis hit a pair on the 2♣10♠3♠ flop, Worthington-Leese remained in the lead. However, after the turn 4♥, Mikolaitis was lucky enough to find the J♣ on the river, giving him two pair. Clearly relieved, he doubled up.

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

Leo Margets and Christopher Nguyen built a pot of around 90,000 as they headed to the river on a completed board of 8♠8♣2♣Q♦J♠.

Nguyen, in the big blind, then bet enough to put Margets all in. Margets tanked for several minutes before calling for her last 100,000.

Nguyen turned over 10♣3♣ for a missed flush draw and Margets showed A♦Q♥ for two pair as she doubled up.

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

Ryan Plant opened to 5,000 from the hijack before John Field jammed for 39,500 from the small blind. Adi Neigauz reshoved as the bigger stack from the big blind and folded out Plant.

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

In a blind versus blind situation, Frederik Thiemer opened to 7,500 from the small blind, and called after "John One" three-bet to 21,000 from the big blind.

"John One" continued with a bet of 11,000 on the 3♣5♣J♥ flop, and Thiemer check-called. Then he fired a second barrel of 45,000 on the turn 10♣. Thiemer check-called once again.

The 4♥ completed the board, and after Thiemer checked a third time, "John One" moved all-in for 132,500. Thiemer went deep into the tank, but eventually made the call.

"John One": A♣2♣
Frederik Thiemer: K♦J♦

Thiemer called with top pair, but "John One" hit the nut flush on the turn to secure a big double up.
