Winz Wins the Flip

Laura Fryer

Level 25 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Action folded to Noah Boeken who raised to 80,000 from the button. Brandon Sheils called the small blind and Berthold Winz moved all in from the big blind for his remaining 700,000 stack. Boeken called and Sheils folded, leaving the players heads up.

Berthold Winz: J♣J♦ All in
Noah Boeken: 10♥10♦

Winz was looking to hold and the A♠2♦6♦ flop didn't cause him any concern. The Q♥ turn and 3♥ river sealed his double and another player remarked "Welcome to the table," as Winz counted his new stack.

Level 25 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Christophe Pommier opened to 80,000 from under the gun and Rania Nasreddine defended from the big blind.

Both players checked the flop and turn leading to a final board of J♠J♣2♥Q♥A♠. Nasreddine checked and Pommier bet 100,000. Nasreddine went into the tank for a couple of minutes before folding, showing the 2♠ from her hand as she did so.

Pommier showed that he had J♥J♦ for flopped quads before dragging in a small pot.

Level 25 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Jan-Eric Schwippert three-bet shoved for 500,000 from the button over a Davide Schianchi open from under the gun. After the blinds folded Schianchi called.

Jan-Eric Schwippert: Q♦J♦ All in
Davide Schianchi: K♥K♦

Schianchi looked set to send another player to rail, and even more so on the A♣3♣8♠ flop. However, the 10♣ turn gave Schwippert a straight draw, which he managed to find on the K♠ river. Schianchi had rivered a set of kings, but it was Schwippert who dragged in the pot with his straight.

Player	Chips	Progress
Davide Schianchi	2,300,000 500,000	500,000

Level 25 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

In a three-way preflop confrontation Ivan Zhechev was all in from the cutoff for around 800,000 and Jordan Sparagana was all in from blinds for a bit more. They were at risk against Marian Dicu in middle position, who had started the hand with a bit over 1,100,000.

Ivan Zhechev: K♣K♠ All in
Jordan Sparagana: K♥K♦ All in
Marian Dicu: A♠A♣

Dicu was in unbelievably good shape with pocket aces against two opponents who each had pocket kings, needing only to avoid four hearts, four diamonds or a straight runout to triple up. He did just that when the board came 3♦2♣6♠9♠6♣. Dicu dragged in a pot worth nearly three million in chips while both Zhechev and Sparagana made their exit from the tournament area in brutal fashion.

Level 25 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Bernat Carreras opened the hijack to 80,000 and Najib Shacar was on the button and the only caller.

The flop came Q♦10♠3♥ and both players checked to the 4♣ turn and 4♠ river.

Carreras bet 160,000 and Shacar folded, leaving Carreras to pick up a small pot.

A few hands later on the same table action folded to Badr Douch on the button, who opened to 80,000. Mengshi Tian raised to 180,000 and Douch moved all in, covering Tians remaining 800,000 stack. Tian made the call and the players flipped their hands.

Mengshi Tian: A♦A♠ All in
Badr Douch: 6♠6♦

Tian was looking to hold and both players missed on the 4♦J♣8♠ flop, and the 3♥ 3♣ runout secured Tian the Double.

Player	Chips	Progress
Bernat Carreras	1,900,000 290,000	290,000

Level 25 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Salvatore Camarda raised to 100,000 from the button and Cherish Andrews shoved for 640,000 from the big blind. Camarda called and the cards were revealed.

Cherish Andrews: A♣J♠ All in
Salvatore Camarda: 10♦10♥

The flop of A♦2♠J♦ put Andrews in the divers seat, having improved to top two pair. Camarda couldn't find one of two remaining tens on the 6♣ turn or 4♦ river, and he had to send the majority of chips over to Andrews.

Player	Chips	Progress
Cherish Andrews	1,400,000 775,000	775,000
