Franchi Makes a Huge Call to Bust Dias

David Salituro

Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

In a limped pot between the blinds, Malcolm Franchi bet 12,000 on a flop of 6♥5♥K♦ and Saymon Dias raised to 34,000. Franchi called and the Q♥ fell on the turn.

Dias then bet 55,000 and Franchi again called. The river was the A♦ and Dias moved all in for 307,000.

Franchi spent a few minutes in the tank as he leaned over the table staring across at Dias. He eventually called and Dias showed J♥8♠ for a bluff. Franchi turned over K♥10♠ for a pair of kings to win the massive pot and send Dias to the rail.

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Markkos Ladev opened 30,000 in early position and both Piero Alioto and Alejandro Lococo came along in the blinds.

The dealer fanned a flop of J♠6♦5♠, and the action checked to Ladev who continued for 35,000. Alioto check-raised all in for 225,000, forcing Lococo to quickly fold and Ladev snap-called.

Piero Alioto: K♠10♠ All in
Markkos Ladev: A♠J♦

Alioto flopped a flush draw and the 9♥ turn gave him a straight draw as well. The 4♠ river completed his flush and he raked in the double.

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

On the first hand back from break, Benjamin Pollak got in his last 240,000 from early position, Joshua Hopkins shoved for 530,000 in the cutoff, and Ami Barer called in the small blind having both players covered.

Benjamin Pollak: 5♥5♣ All in
Joshua Hopkins: J♦J♣ All in
Ami Barer: A♠K♠

Hopkins was ahead with his jacks heading to the flop, which came 9♠7♣3♥. The 5♦ fell on the turn to give Pollak a set, while the river was the Q♣ as Pollak tripled up, while Hopkins won the side pot to leave Barer with less than a big blind.

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Andre Akkari raised to 30,000 in early position and Tarmo Tammel called in the hijack. Brandon Leetz then moved all in for 105,000 in the small blind, Tom-Aksel Bedell reshoved for 290,000 in the big blind, and both Akkari and Tammel folded.

Brandon Leetz: 2♥2♣ All in
Tom-Aksel Bedell: K♥Q♦

The two players took turns revealing one card each at a time before seeing the Q♥8♥6♥ flop. Bedell took the lead with a pair of queens, and Leetz couldn't improve on the 3♦ turn or A♦ river as he was sent to the rail.

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Sirzat Hissou moved all in for 300,000 in early position as Enrico Camosci had him at risk from the button.

Sirzat Hissou: A♣Q♦ All in
Enrico Camosci: Q♥10♥

The 6♦K♥5♥ flop gave Camosci a flush draw, while he also picked up a straight draw on the 9♣ turn. The 6♠ river, though, was safe for Hissou and he doubled up.

Tanner Lefferts: A♠Q♠ All in
Ludvig Sterner: Q♦10♠

Lefferts was in great shape to double up with a bigger queen and remained ahead on the A♣3♠10♦2♥K♣ runout to double up through Sterner.

Hopkins Eliminates El Asmar; Short-Stacked Barer Survives

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Joshua Hopkins opened 30,000 in early position and the action folded to Ami Barer in the cutoff, who used multiple time banks before calling off his last 10,000. Both Hady El Asmar and Benjamin Pollak came along from the blinds as well.

The dealer fanned a flop of 8♥7♦3♠, and once checked to, Hopkins continued for 30,000. El Asmar called and Pollak mucked his hand.

The 4♥ fell on the turn and El Asmar check-called another bet, this time for 75,000.

When the J♦ completed the board, El Asmar checked for a final time and Hopkins jammed all-in. El Asmar had 115,000 and took a few moments before slamming it across the line.

Hopkins tabled A♥A♣ which was good against El Asmar's 5♥5♠, but Barer took down the main pot with J♠8♠, making two pair.
