Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Richard Hayes

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

Daniel Moran opened to 2,200 in middle position and Jose Manuel Gonzalez defended his big blind.

On the J♣3♥7♣ flop Gonzalez check-called a bet of 1,500 from Moran.

On the J♦ turn Gonzalez again check-called a bet of 6,000 from Moran.

The 2♦ rolled off on the river, and Gonzalez checked to Moran once more. Moran fired out a bet of 25,000.

Gonzalez pondered the spot for at least three minutes, before sliding forward calling chips.

However he was shown the bad news when Moran turned over 2♣2♥ for a rivered full house, causing Gonzalez to chuckle and muck his hand.

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

Kostadin Kostadinov was already all in and at risk for a bit under 20,000 from under the gun against Jimmy Armougom, who had Kostadinov covered from the small blind.

Kostadin Kostadinov: 7♣7♥
Jimmy Armougom: 6♥6♠

Kostadinov was in good shape to double with his overpair, but the 5♥A♣6♦ flop improved Armougom to a set and left Kostadinov drawing slim.

The 2♣ turn and A♦ river kept Armougom out in front and Kostadinov wished his tablemates good luck as he stood up from the table.

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

Action was picked up after an all in and a call between Giovanni Giudice and Emmanouil Asgoudakis.

Guidice was at risk but had the superior holding to Asgoudakis.

Giovanni Giudice: A♦Q♣
Emmanouil Asgoudakis: K♠Q♥

The flop of 2♣5♥4♥ was favourable for Giudice and the turn 3♠ gave him the wheel leaving Asgoudakis drawing dead and confirming a full double up for the Italian. The inconsequential 8♠ was dealt on the river and Giudice scooped the pot.

The K♠ river doubled paired the board and Angelov led out for 6,000. El Mechraa cut out a raise to 16,000 and placed it into the middle, which was met with a quick call by Angelov.

El Mechraa showed A♥6♦ and Angelov turned over A♦J♣ for the best two pair to take down the pot.

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

Eugenio Peralta opened to 2,100 from middle position and the short-stacked Luis Perez moved all in for 1,800.

Action folded to Tobias Hausen in the small blind, who reached for chips and produced a three-bet to 9,500, which earnt a fold from Peralta, with Perez at risk.

Luis Perez: K♦6♦
Tobias Hausen: A♣K♣

Perez was in trouble with his king dominated, and although he flopped a straight draw on the 7♣9♠5♥ flop, the 2♥A♦ runout did not provide him with the help he needed.
