Rubiralta Cracks Palma's Queens

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Gerard Rubiralta
Gerard Rubiralta

With over 40,000 in the middle Gerard Rubiralta, who was in the big blind was seen smoke-betting 2,500 as the 964J turn hit the felt. Nick Palma began the hand from under the gun and was Rubiralta's only opponent. He pushed his last 2,000 chips across the line, putting himself at risk, and both players revealed their hands.

Nick Palma: QQ All in
Gerard Rubiralta: 107

Rubiralta had flopped a flush against the over pair of Palma, leaving him drawing dead as the dealer completed the board with the 7 river.

Frankland Catches the Turn

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Mathew Frankland opened to 2,400 first-to-act and was called by Ivan Karatayeu from directly behind. Everyone else folded for a heads-up pot.

Both players checked on the KKK flop and then Frankland check-called a 5,200 bet from Karatayeu on the 9 turn.

The 8 filled the river and action checked down.

Frankland tabled A9 for kings-full of nines, which was met with a muck from Karatayeu to send the pot Frankland's way.

Nine Enough for Guerrero

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Action folded around to the blinds, where Betanzos Guerrero raised to 2,500 from the small blind and Marco Pacini called from the big blind.

Pacini called a 2,000 bet from Guerrero on the K95 flop and then Guerrero check-called a 3,200 bet from Pacini on the 4 turn.

The 2 completed the board and both players checked.

Guerrero turned over A9 for a pair of nines and Pacini mucked — conceding the pot to Guerrero.

"I'm Not Going to Fold Anymore"

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

With 14,500 in the middle, the turn read J749, and Alf-Inge Olsen was in the tank with a bet of 5,000 across the line as he was faced with an all-in jam from Aneris Adomkevicius.

After several minutes of thinking, the clock was called by a tablemate, and he dropped his stack of 29,000 across the line.

Alf-Inge Olsen: QJ All in
Aneris Adomkevicius: 87

Olsen was ahead with his top pair, and was able to fade the straight and flush draw of Adomkevicius as the 5 completed the board on the river.

"I'm not going to fold anymore! Be careful," yelled an excited Olsen as he pulled in the pot.
