Heads-up on a board of A♣3♥10♣9♣, Charles St. Germain bet 11,000 from under the gun before Senol Ardic moved all in for 18,500 on the button. St. Germain called.

Ardic showed A♦6♣ for a pair and flush draw, while St. Germain had A♥9♠ for two pair. "No clubs, please madame," St. Germain pleaded with the dealer, and he got his wish as the 9♥ came on the river to give him a full house and send Ardic to the rail.

Team PokerStars Pro Felix Schneiders is also at this table and has built up a stack of around 80,000 so far today.

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Davor Bojovic opened to 1,000 from under the gun and called when Nicolas Le Hech three-bet to 2,500 on his direct left.

Bojovic check-called for 2,500 on the J♠5♠3♣ flop, leaving himself around 13,000 behind.

Bojovic checked once more when the dealer brought in the 4♣ turn. Le Hech jammed as the bigger stack and Bojovic called for his tournament life.

Davor Bojovic: 10♥10♠ All in
Nicolas Le Hech: A♦7♥

Bojovic was the favorite, but Le Hech was still live with his overcard and double-gutshot straight draw.

The 2♥ completed the board and gave Le Hech the straight to see off his opponent.

"What the f***?" whispered a table mate.

"Very lucky," added Le Hech.

"You can see into the future," laughed another player.

Quads for Christy

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Sava Krink

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Woody Christy was the first to act and raised to 1,000. Valerie Lelouche, seated next to him, immediately called. The action folded to Oliver Huber, who also called from the big blind.

On the 8♥J♣9♣ flop, Huber checked and Christy made a continuation bet of 1,200, which both players called.

Christy fired out another 4,500 on the K♥ turn. Lelouche folded and Huber called once more.

The 8♣ river prompted Huber to check-call Christy's bet of 5,500.

Christy showed 8♦8♠, which was good for quads and Huber's cards went into the muck.
