Breckmann Left With Crumbs

Calum Grant

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

Philipp Hasenburger opened to 50,000 from under the gun and was called by Jakup Breckmann from middle position. Antonino Venneri and Harry Lodge also called from the blinds.

Action checked to Breckmann on the 8♦6♦4♣ flop, and he bet 110,000. Only Venneri called.

The K♠ turn then checked through to the 9♠ river. Venneri led out for 250,000. Breckmann quickly called but mucked his cards when Venneri tabled 6♣6♠ for a set of sixes. He was left with 20,000.

"Chip and a chair," he laughed.

"I'm glad you didn't check the turn. Otherwise, I'd have been stacked," said Lodge to Breckmann as Venneri added to his above-average stack.

Alessandro Merelli and Hugo Machado built a pot of around 200,000 as they went heads-up to the turn on a board of 5♠9♥9♦A♥. Machado then bet 170,000 from under the gun and Merelli called in the small blind.

The river was the 4♠ and Merelli led out for 500,000. Machado snap-folded and Merelli showed Q♣J♣ for a bluff as he took the pot.

At the same time at another table, Virgile Turchi was all in for 285,000 from the big blind and was up against Razvan Scutaru on the button.

Virgile Turchi: K♦J♦ All in
Razvan Scutaru: Q♣Q♦

The flop came K♥6♦5♦ and Turchi not only hit top pair, he also picked up a flush draw. The turn was the 2♣, while the 7♦ river improved him to a flush and earned him a double up.

Sava Krink

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

It started slowly when Luca Moschitta raised from the cutoff to 50,000 and was called by Alessandro Merelli, who was in the small blind.

On the 4♣A♦6♥ flop, Merelli check-called the bet of 35,000 from Moschitta.

Merelli checked the 7♥ turn after a brief stare down and Moschitta also took some time to consider before betting 110,000. Merelli went all-in and Moschitta didn't appear pleased, but eventually called.

Luca Moschitta: A♣10♥ All in
Alessandro Merelli: 4♥4♠

With Merelli's flopped set, there was no help left for Moschitta as the river showed the K♦.
