Leal Rivers a Full House

Kai Cocklin

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

Gonzalo Leal opened to 2,500 from early position and Michael Allen three-bet from the next seat to 7,500. Abdel-Hakim Khelifa called from the small blind, and Leal put in the extra chips once the action got back to him.

The three players saw a flop of 5♠3♠7♦ that checked through to the 3♦ turn, which also checked around.

When the 6♥ dropped on the river, Khelifa checked, and Leal fired 15,000. Allen thought for a few moments before he called, and Khelifa folded.

Leal then tabled a full house with 6♠6♣, and Allen knuckled the table and mucked.

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

Jon Vallinas and Jon Kyte checked a flop of A♥9♣Q♠ to Andrea Crobu in the cutoff. Crobu bet 3,000 which Vallinas called before Kyte check-shoved for 23,000. After a few moments, Crobu moved all in over the top and Vallinas snap-called with the covering stack.

Jon Kyte: J♦10♥ All in
Andrea Crobu: A♦9♦ All in
Jon Vallinas :A♠9♠

Crobu and Vallinas had the same hand with top and bottom pair, while Kyte just had a straight draw. The 7♠ on the turn gave Vallinas a flush draw, but he couldn't find it on the 5♥ river. Kyte was eliminated as Crobu and Vallinas chopped up his stack.

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

Petre Ionescu, on the button, moved all in for approximately 19,000. Panagiotis Mavritsakis, in the big blind, made the call.

Petre Ionescu: K♥10♣ All in
Panagiotis Mavritsakis: A♥9♠

Ionescu was behind and the 2♦J♠4♥ flop proved no help. The 4♣ turn and 5♦ river changed nothing for Ionescu and he was sent to the rail.

On a flop of 2♣3♣Q♠, Alexandre Henry committed his stack of over 20,000 to the pot, and was put at risk by Vadzim Godzdanker.

Alexandre Henry: A♦Q♣ All in
Vadzim Godzdanker: Q♥J♥

Henry was well in the lead but was stunned by the J♦ on the turn, which gave Godzdanker a firm grip on the pot. Only an ace on the river could save Henry, but instead the 7♦ rolled off, which meant he was eliminated.

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

Stoyan Madanzhiev got the action going with a raise to 2,400 from early position, attracting a call from Xiaohua Fu in the cutoff. The excitement didn’t stop there; Robbie Bull in the small blind decided to make it interesting with a three-bet to 10,500. Madanzhiev, holding just a bit more than that, opted to go all in. Fu quickly folded, but Bull snap-called, setting up a showdown.

Stoyan Madanzhiev: Q♥Q♦All in
Robbie Bull: K♥K♦

Madanzhiev needed some help from the board, but it didn’t come as the cards ran out 10♦9♣8♠6♠10♣, providing no assistance and sending Madanzhiev to the rail. Meanwhile, Bull scooped up a nice stack to keep him in the tournament.

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

Jerry Odeen kicked off the action from the cutoff with a raise to 2,400, only to be met by Jinlong Hu’s three-bet to 6,500. Rather than backing down, Odeen shoved all in, and Hu snap-called.

Jerry Odeen: A♣4♣All in
Jinlong Hu: A♥7♥

Odeen was trailing and needed some luck from the board, and luck he found as the board ran out 10♠J♣2♥9♠Q♥, leaving both players with just ace-high. In the end, the pot was split.

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

Mikhail Yakovlev raised to 2,400 from under the gun, receiving three calls behind him.

The action checked to Yakovlev, who continued for 3,500 on the 9♣K♦2♠ flop. Mathieu Di Meglio in the hijack called, while the button and big blind folded.

The Q♣ turn saw Yakovlev slow down with a check. Di Meglio bet out 4,000 and Yakovlev check-raised, moving all in for 13,200. Di Meglio called.

Mikhail Yakovlev: J♥10♥ All in
Mathieu Di Meglio: K♥Q♥

The turn had given Di Meglio two pair, but it had also improved Yakovlev to a straight. The 6♥ river changed nothing and Yakovlev doubled up.

Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Julien Sitbon raised to 2,400 from early position with Ramzi Karam three-betting to 7,000 from the cutoff. Simon Wiciak then four-bet shoved for 19,000 out of the blinds. Sitbon folded but Karam called.

Simon Wiciak: 9♠9♣ All in
Ramzi Karam: Q♦Q♥

Wiciak began to get out of his chair upon seeing the pocket queens of Karam. However, when the dealer fanned out the flop of A♦9♥A♥ to give Wiciak a boat, he quickly sat back down. The K♥ turn and 4♦ river didn't help Karam and Wiciak doubled up.
