Stone-Cold Flush Leaves Whitehouse in the Dust

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Jacob Stone

Jacob Stone kicked off the action with a raise to 3,000 in the cutoff, and Radoslav Stoyanov called in the small blind. But Charles Whitehouse in the big blind had other plans, three-betting to 13,000. Stone wasn’t backing down and responded with a four-bet to 26,000. That was enough to push Stoyanov out of the hand, but Whitehouse went all in, and Stone snap-called.

Stone revealed A♠K♠, while Whitehouse showed Q♣Q♥.

The flop came 8♠3♠5♠, instantly giving Stone a flush. The A♣ on the turn and 7♠ on the river didn’t change anything, and Stone secured a double-up, leaving Whitehouse with no chance to improve.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

With around 35,000 in the middle on a board reading A♥7♦6♦8♥, Farid Jattin bet 25,000 from the small blind. Nemanja Lukovic folded from the big blind, but Jeremie Zouari called from middle position.

When the 2♦ came on the river, Jattin shoved and Zouari snap-called for his last 91,500.

Jattin turned over A♣8♣ for top two pair, but was second best to the rivered flush of Zouari with K♦Q♦.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

The action was caught as Levente Szabo, in early position, had both Haiyang Yang, who was under the gun, and Ludovic Breau, in the big blind, all and at risk for their short stacks.

Haiyang Yang: A♦5♥ All in
Ludovic Breau: A♠Q♣ All in
Levente Szabo: 10♣10♥

The hand was practically over for both Yang and Breau on the 10♠4♣8♦ flop. The 6♦ turn and A♣ river confirmed Szabo was the victor, sending both his opponents to the rail.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

After a flurry of raises preflop, the pot had swelled to around 65,000 when the flop came down 5♠3♣8♦. Romain Retiere was first to act and fired a bet of 15,000, which Ray Qartomy called without hesitation.

Both players checked when the Q♣ hit the turn.

As the river brought the 8♠, Retiere seized the initiative again, launching a hefty bet of 100,000—essentially putting Qartomy's tournament life on the line. Qartomy took his time to think it over but ultimately decided to fold, allowing Retiere to continue building his stack.

Raphael Blouet raised to 3,000 from early position and Adrian Cazacu three-bet the button to 8,500. Once the blinds folded, Blouet called.

They went to a flop of A♥7♦4♦ where Blouet checked, and Cazacu fired 5,500. Blouet then put in a check-raise to 15,000, which Cazacu called.

An 8♦ dropped on the turn and Blouet continued to tell the story that he had a strong hand and fired 16,000. Cazacu didn't think for too long before he called.

When the 5♦ fell on the river, Blouet went into the tank before he decided to shove for around 30,000. Cazacu snap-called.

Blouet then showed K♦Q♦ for a flush, but Cazacu had a higher flush with A♦A♣, which meant Blouet hit the rail.
