Tataranno Tries to Hide His Strength

David Salituro

Level 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Action folded to Fouad Rabahie who moved all in for 83,000 on the button. Domenico Tataranno tanked for more than a minute before calling in the small blind, while Sylwester Fortuna quickly folded his big blind.

Fouad Rabahie: 9♦6♥ All in
Domenico Tataranno: A♥A♦

"That was for you," Tataranno said to Fortuna.

"Sorry," Rabahie told him, apologizing in advance for any possible bad beat. The flop came 5♦J♠8♣ to give Rabahie a straight draw, but he missed the J♥ turn and 10♣ river as Tataranno sent him to the rail.

Joern Madsen was all in for 100,000 in middle position, Elie Saad put his last 380,000 in from the cutoff, and Eduard Barsegyan had both players covered and at risk from early position.

Joern Madsen: J♦J♠ All in
Elie Saad: A♣A♠ All in
Eduard Barsegyan: Q♥Q♦

Saad had picked up aces and was a big favorite to take down the massive three-way all in. The board ran out 4♠K♣3♥2♠4♥ and Saad held on to double up off Barsegyan while sending Madsen to the rail.

Level 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Lucas Scafini opened to 16,000 from under the gun before Emika Senda three-bet to 40,000 on his direct left. Action folded back to Scafini who jammed as the big stack. Senda double-checked her cards and committed the 180,000 more she had behind.

Emika Senda: Q♥Q♠ All in
Lucas Scafini: A♥K♥

A classic flip was on the cards and it was one that Scafini would win as he paired up on the A♣9♦5♦3♥J♠ runout to secure the pot and elimination.

Bad Turn for Naydenov

Calum Grant

Level 19 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Razvan Scutaru opened to 22,000 from the cutoff and called when Simeon Naydenov jammed for 142,000 from the cutoff.

Simeon Naydenov: A♦K♥ All in
Razvan Scutaru: A♣J♣

Neydenov had Scutaru dominated and remained ahead following the A♥9♠3♣ flop. However, the J♥ turn gave Scutaru aces and jacks to take the lead. The 9♥ river was inconsequential and Neydonov showed his frustration as he left the table.
