Miscikowski Puts Da Silva in the Blender

Kai Cocklin

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

With over 300,000 chips already in the pot on a flop of Q♣2♦10♥, Giorgio Da Silva bet 65,000, and David Miscikowski raised to 175,000. Da Silva called.

A 7♣ came on the turn and after Da Silva checked, Miscikowski shoved. Da Silva had around 340,000 in his stack and clearly had a difficult decision as around three minutes went by before a player at the table called the clock. Once the countdown got to one second, Da Silva released his hand and Miscikowski was pushed the pot.

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

Kimmo Kurko opened to 100,000 from early position, leaving about 20,000 behind. Andrii Andrieiev raised enough from the blinds to put Kurko all in and Kurko called, putting himself at risk.

Kimmo Kurko: 9♠9♥ All in
Andrii Andrieiev: 5♠5♣

Kurko was in great shape to double up with the bigger pocket pair until Andrieiev drilled a set on the 5♦7♦2♣ flop leaving Kurko drawing to just two outs. Kurko was unable to catch a nine when the rest of the board ran out 4♦Q♦ and was sent to the rail while Andrieiev claimed the last of his chips.

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

Pablo Brito defended from the big blind to a middle position open from Bernat Carreras.

The two players saw the dealer fan out a flop of Q♥7♠5♦. After Brito checked, Carreras put out a continuation-bet of 23,000. Brito check-raised to 90,000 and Carreras called.

Brito bet 120,000 on the 4♠ turn and Carreras called.

The 2♠ river got checked by both players and Carreras took down the pot with A♠Q♦ for top pair top kicker, while Brito turned over K♦6♦ for just a king-high bluff.

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

Mathieu Goncalves opened to 75,000 from under the gun and Thomas Lilamand took around 2 minutes before making a call from the hijack.

The players went heads-up to the 10♣8♠2♣ flop and both checked to the 5♥ turn.

Goncalves bet 175,000 and Lilamand took some time, around 3 minutes, before folding and handing the pot to Goncalves.

Goncalves showed his A♦A♠ hand to the table as he scooped up the pot.

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

Jan-Eric Schwippert shoved from the button for 105,000 with Renato Grossi making the call from the blinds to put him at risk.

Jan-Eric Schwippert: Q♠9♦ All in
Renato Grossi: K♠9♠

Grossi had Schwippert dominated, and when the K♥5♣9♥ flop fell to give Grossi two pair, Schwippert needed running cards to stay alive. The J♣ turn provided Schwippert with a straight draw, which he hit on the 10♣ river, keeping him in contention in the event.

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

Cards were on their backs and stacks were in the middle, with [Removed:483] all-in for 170,000 on a flop of Q♥5♣4♣ and at risk, after being called by Michel Leibgorin.

[Removed:483]: K♥K♣ All in
Michel Leibgorin: A♦Q♠

Salewyn was ahead with his overpair of kings and looked good for the double-up. When Leibgorin saw Salewyn's cards, he smiled and said "You have kings? It's ok, the ace is coming".

Sure enough, the A♥ rolled off on the turn to put Leibgorin in front with two pair. Causing much amusement at the table, Aliaksandr Yarosh said "He must be cheating" while laughing, and Leibgorin said "I am, but I can't tell you how".

Even Salewyn was chuckling as he gathered his things and left the table, after the 3♣ river completed the board.

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

Najib Shacar opened to 32,000 from under the gun only for Murilo Garcia to three-bet to 95,000 from middle position. Rania Nasreddine then put in a four-bet to 250,000 from the hijack, forcing Shacar out of the pot while Garcia went into the tank.

After a couple minutes Garcia opted to fold A♥K♥ face up and Nasreddine took down a decent pot without having to see a flop.

Rania Nasreddine opened to 30,000 from early position and Boris Kuzmanovic three-bet to 90,000 from the hijack. Cedric Schwaederle then cold four-bet from the button to 240,000, which earned him the pot as the rest of the table folded.
