Huge Cooler in Four-Bet Pot

Calum Grant

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Jorge Rios opened to 4,000 from early position before Sergio Brignoli made it 12,000 from the cutoff. Rios four-bet to 27,000 and was called.

Rios continued for 7,500 on the A♦K♣J♥ flop and snap-called for his last 40,000 after Brignoli moved all in as the bigger stack.

Jorge Rios: KxKx
Sergio Brignoli: Q♣10♣

Both players had huge hands, with Rios having a set of kings while Brignoli had flopped the stone-cold nuts.

The 6♦5♣ runout failed to fill Rios up, and he left the table following the coldest of decks.

Paul Covaciu raised from middle position to 4,000, with both Emmanouil Asgoudakis in the small blind and Tibor Halatsch in the big blind calling.

On the 3♥10♦7♥ flop, Halatsch went all-in with his last 10,000 after Asgoudakis checked to him. Covaciu folded, and after a brief moment of thought, Asgoudakis called.

Tibor Halatsch: Q♣7♣ All in
Emmanouil Asgoudakis: 9♠10♣

There was no assistance from the A♦ turn nor the A♥ river for Halatsch, who was sent to the rail.

Calum Grant

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

PokerStars Team Pro Simon Wiciak opened to 4,000 from the cutoff and was called by Federico Baudissard from the button. Ilan Cohen folded from the small blind but his cards flipped over to reveal K♥4♣. Thor Morstol was in the big blind with around 45,000 and moved all in. Wiciak rejammed, and Baudissard folded for the cards to go on their backs.

Thor Morstol: K♣Q♠ All in
Simon Wiciak: 9♣9♥

Despite seeing one of his outs removed, Mortsol liked his hand enough to go with it. However, he could not connect on the J♣4♦7♥2♥A♥ runout and was eliminated.

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Christian Alilovic raised to 4,000 in early position, Demosthenes Kiriopoulos moved all in for 30,000 on the button, and Alilovic called.

Demosthenes Kiriopoulos: A♣9♣ All in
Christian Alilovic: 8♣8♥

The board ran out Q♣10♦4♠3♦7♥ and Alilovic's two eights stayed in the lead to send Kiriopoulos to the rail.

Figueiras moved all in for 66,000 in the hijack and Bigot, in middle position, tanked for several minutes until the clock was called. Bigot allowed the countdown to nearly reach zero before calling.

Figuerias turned over 8♥8♦ for a full house and Bigot sent pocket kings into the muck.

Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Tibor Koncz three-bet to 12,000 in the cutoff and Soraya Estrada called under the gun.

The flop came 3♦K♣9♦ and Koncz continued for 10,000. Estrada then raised to 22,000, Koncz moved all in, and Estrada called for around 40,000.

Soraya Estrada: Q♦10♦ All in
Tibor Koncz: A♦K♦

Both players had a flush draw, while Estrada also had a straight draw and Koncz had top pair and the lead. The 7♥ turn was no help to Estrada, while the 4♦ river gave both players a flush but it wasn't enough for Estrada to avoid hitting the rail.

Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Manuel Roca and Benjamin Souriau were heads-up on a flop of 10♠Q♠9♣ when Souriau got his last 80,000 in the middle from the hijack against Roca in the big blind.

Benjamin Souriau: 10♣10♥ All in
Manuel Roca: Q♥Q♣

"Oh my God, that's disgusting," tablemate Ramsey Lababidi said as Souriau found himself on the wrong end of a set-over-set cooler. The board ran out 8♠7♣ and Souriau was eliminated.

"Say sorry while you're stabbing him in the heart," Lababidi joked with Roca as he stacked up the massive pot.
