Tsouloftas Contemplates Hero Call

Frank Visser

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Chakib Mhiri raised his button to 50,000 with A♣10♣, seeing Georgios Tsouloftas call in the big blind with K♥9♦. Mhiri bet 30,000 on the A♥6♣A♦ flop, which Tsouloftas check-called.

Mhiri sized up to a pot-sized 150,000 on the 2♥ turn, which still did not deter Tsouloftas from check-calling. Finally, Mhiri put Tsouloftas all-in on the 7♦ river.

Tsouloftas spent one time bank before deciding to check-fold his king-high and surrender the pot to Mhiri.

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Dick Postel was all-in for his last 135,000 and was at risk to Roeland Peeks.

Dick Postel: 3♦3♣ All in
Roeland Peeks: K♥J♥

Peeks picked up counterfeit outs to accompany his overcards following the 8♦8♥4♦ flop. The Q♥ also gave Peeks a flush draw to the dismay of Postel. However, the latter dragged in the double-up after the 2♣ rive gave his pocket pair the checkmark for the pot.

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Adrien Quetelart raised to 50,000 under the gun and Arian Kashani three-bet to 140,000 in middle position. Quetelart called and they went heads-up to the A♣7♣5♥ flop.

Kashani continued for 60,000 and Quetelart raised to 125,000. Kashani called and the 8♦ fell on the turn. Quetelart then moved all in.

Kashani asked for a count and tanked for a moment before calling for his last 380,000. He showed A♥J♦ for top pair, while Quetelart was on a flush draw with K♣J♣. The river was the 6♦ and Kashani held on to earn the double up, leaving Quetelart on an extreme short stack.

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Just after doubling up, Dick Postel raised to 50,000 and Yisha Chen made it 100,000 from the next seat. When it got back to Postel, he called.

The flop came down K♦4♣5♣ and Postel fired 50,000, then Chen shoved. Postel had around 175,000 remaining, but elected to fold.

Andrea Dato raised his button to 50,000, seeing Georgios Skarparis and Boris Tabiyev call in the blinds

The 5♣5♦2♦ flop checked around to the J♠ turn, which also saw three checks. Tabiyev then bet 65,000 on the A♠ river. Dato called before Skarparis folded Q♣10♠.

Tabiyev could only show Q♦8♦ for queen-high while Dato took down the pot with A♦8♠ for top pair.

Eleftherios Sinnos opened to 50,000 from under the gun and was called by Philip Joyce from the button. Kirill Shcherbakov then jammed for 340,000 from the small blind. Sinnos folded and Joyce followed suit after using up a time bank.

On another table, Dick Postel was all-in once again with his short stack. He was at risk to Roeland Peeks. Postel, an online qualifier, tabled A♦6♥ and was dominated by A♥J♣. Postel failed to improve on the runout and Peeks collected his stack.

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Georgios Tsouloftas raised to 50,000 in early position. Halil Tasyurek then pumped in his stack of 200,000 for an all-in bet in middle position.

Eventually, the action folded back to Tsouloftas. He asked for a count, shrugged, and called it off.

Halil Tasyurek: 9♦9♣ All in
Georgios Tsouloftas: A♥10♦

Tsouloftas failed to pair up on the J♣4♦8♦6♠2♣ runout, doubling up his opponent.

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Georgios Skarparis found A♠A♣ in the hijack and raised to 50,000. Lander Lijo looked down at A♦6♣ in the big blind, deciding to reraise to 175,000. Skarparis just called.

Lijo bet 75,000 on the 3♠10♥K♣ flop, which Skarparis called. The K♥ turn saw Lijo give up as he checked before folding to Skarpari's 450,000-chip shove.

Quetelart Almost Quintuples Stack

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Kai Cocklin

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Anton Kraous opened from under the gun to 50,000 and Adrien Quetelart called off his stack of 30,000 from the cutoff. Damir Zhugralin called in the small blind, then Santhosh Suvarna made it 200,000 from the big blind. Kraous and Zhugralin both folded.

Adrien Quetelart: A♥Q♠ All in
Santhosh Suvarna: A♠9♣

The preflop action left a pretty good scenario for Quetelart as a few more chips got piled into the main pot for him to win, should his hand hold. The runout of 10♣5♠3♦3♠6♥ did keep his hand in the lead, which meant he almost quintupled up to 145,000.
