Sellam Caught Bluffing River

Richard Hayes

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Cosimo De Gennaro opened to 500 in middle position, only to be met with a three-bet of 1,500 from Iulen Lacunza. Thierry Sellam then cold-called in the next seat. De Gennaro also came along for the ride.

On the 8♠6♦3♥ flop De Gennaro checked and Lacunza put out a bet of 1,600. Sellam made a quick call and De Gennaro folded.

On the 6♠ turn Lacunza slowed down, check-calling a bet of 2,800 from Sellam.

The J♦ rolled off on the river and Lacunza again checked to his opponent. Sellam didn't think long before shipping in his remaining 11,200 and Lacunza quickly called.

Sellam turned over Q♠10♦ for the queen-high bluff while Lacunza had set the trap perfectly for his opponent with Q♥Q♦ for a pair of queens.

Margue led out on the flop of A♣4♥2♥ for 1,500, only to be reraised quickly by Bellity to 3,900. Margue quickly mucked his hand and left Bellity with the pot.

Luong check-called a 900 bet from Knutsen on the Q♣6♥J♠ flop and a 2,600 bet from Knutsen on the A♥ turn. However, Luong laid his hand down facing a 10,500 bet from Knutsen after the 2♠ completed the board.

Patrick Cole

Tahar Said opened to 400 from early position. He was called by Isaac Bellaiche from the cutoff, Bernardo Silva on the button and Kamil Karaoglu in the small blind.

The 7♥2♠10♠ flop was checked around, as was the J♣ turn card. Another round of knuckles ensued on the river 6♣. Silva showed K♥9♥ for king high and Isaac Bellaiche showed Q♥2♥ for bottom pair. Tahar Said took the pot with 7♣5♣ for middle pair and Kamil Karaoglu mucked his hand.

Wheeler Busts Early

Richard Hayes

Level 1 : Blinds 100/100, 100 ante

About 4,000 was in the middle in a three-way pot when Tiberiu-Onut Panainte fired out a bet of 3,600 from the small blind on 8♣3♣10♥ and was called by Jason Wheeler and Anatoly Chen.

On the 5♠ turn Panainte was not deterred by two callers, sliding forward another bet of 8,600. Wheeler again made the call. Action folded to Chen who looked bemused, pondered his options, but also eventually called.

The 10♠ rolled off on the river to pair the board and that slowed Panainte down, who checked his option.

Wheeler pondered for a moment before moving the rest of his chips into the middle, around 16,000. Chen folded quickly and Panainte made the quick call.

Wheeler turned over A♣7♣ for the ace-high bricked flush draw, the chunky pot being too juicy for Wheeler to check, while Panainte had K♣K♦, and the cowboys sent him a monster early pot.

Tiberiu-Onut Panainte	78,000 78,000	78,000
Anatoly Chen	12,000 -18,000	-18,000

Level 1 : Blinds 100/100, 100 ante

Olivier Murrachioli opened to 300 first-to-act and was called by Mathieu Choffardet from directly behind and Kondah Abdelhadi in the big blind.

Abdelhadi checked to Murrachioli on the Q♣9♠K♠ flop and he bet 300. Both Choffardet and Abdelhadi called.

The K♣ paired the board on the turn and action checked to Choffardet, who fired a hefty 2,500 bet into the middle. Both his opponents quickly folded and Choffardet dragged the pot.

Olivier Murrachioli	33,000 9,500	9,500
