Ollie Garland

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

The pot had swelled to 29,700 with two players looking at a full board of 10♣5♣3♦3♥A♥.

Luca Maccatrozzo, in the big blind, bet out for 16,100. Roberto Romanello, who was under the gun, was sent into the tank.

Romanello thought for some time before finally making the call, placing the chips in front of Maccatrozzo as if to gift them to him. Maccatrozzo tabled 8♦3♠ for turned trips, winning him this pot.

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

Marius Gicovanu limped in from middle position, Cristian Veres raised to 3,500 from the hijack and the big blind cold-called. Gicovanu also called.

The action checked to Gicovanu, who played out of flow, betting 2,800 on the 2♥K♥10♦ flop. Only Veres called.

The 3♥ turn saw Gicovanu commit an additional bet to the pot which was enough to see Veres' cards sent to the muck.

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

Picking the action up in a hand between Massou Cohen on the button and Anthony Amsellem in the big blind, 25,000 was already in the middle on a board of A♣9♦K♥A♦.

Amsellem led out with a bet of 10,000 and Cohen made the quick call.

On the 3♣ river, Amsellem fired again, putting out a bet of 21,500 and Cohen again made the quick call.

Amsellem showed A♠J♣ for trip aces, while Cohen was unfortunate in that he had A♥4♣ for trip aces, but Amsellem's jack kicker played and sent him the pot.

Conor Beresford opened to 2,500 from middle position and was met with a three-bet jam by Thierry Morel to 19,000. Beresford made the quick fold.

In the next hand, Fulvio Di Meo opened to 2,400 from under the gun and Beresford produced a three-bet to 7,000. Di Meo quickly sent his hand into the muck.

In the third hand, Beresford opened to 2,500 from early position and was faced with a three-bet to 6,300 by Attila Zab on the button. Beresford called.

On the 4♥5♥K♣ flop, Beresford check-called versus a bet of 2,800 from his opponent.

The 2♥ rolled off on the turn, and Beresford again check-called a bet of 10,000 from Zab.

The river brought the 10♠ and Beresford checked for a third time. Zab wasted little time in sliding out a bet of 50,000, putting Beresford to the test for the rest of his stack. After a brief period of thought, Beresford folded.
