Menane Makes Two Pair

Patrick Cole

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Björn Bruns opened from middle position to 1,200 and was reraised by Jakup Breckmann to 3,500 from the cutoff. Mohammed Mennane called in the small blind as did Bruns.

The Q♣9♥9♦ flop was checked around leading to the 8♠ turn. Mennane led out for 5,500 and was called by both Bruns and Breckmann. He led again on the river 7♥ sizing up to 12,000. Bruns made the call and Breckmann folded.

Mennane tabled A♦Q♦ for two pair and Bruns mucked his holding.

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Unai Royuela moved all in from under the gun for 8,000 and was called by Suat Uyanik in the big blind, with Royuela at risk.

Unai Royuela: 10♥10♦
Suat Uyanik: 6♦6♠

Royuela was in great shape with an overpair and Uyanik was almost drawing dead after the 10♥3♦3♥ flop. The 5♥ turn and 8♦ river completed the runout, handing Unai Royuela a timely double-up.

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Karim Alleg had already opened from under the gun and David Balley three-bet to 6,000 from the big blind. Alleg called.

Alleg called a 5,000 bet from Balley on the 5♣4♥Q♣ flop and Balley then shoved for enough to put Alleg all in for a bit over 20,000 on the K♠ turn. Alleg snap-called and hands were revealed.

Karim Alleg: 4♣4♠
David Balley: A♦A♠

Alleg held a commanding lead with his flopped set, and the 7♣ river changed nothing to give Alleg the double-up.

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Action was picked up on the flop of 9♠J♥2♥ where Johanes Verhagen bet 2,000 into Natir Pellicane. He called leading to a 8♠ turn card.

Verhagen continued to bet, this time for 5,000. Once again Pellicane called. On the 3♠ river, Verhagen went all in for just under 10,000. Pellicane tanked for a moment before making the fold.

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

There was 5,200 in the middle and the board read Q♥10♦3♣ when Joao Mestre Ferreira check-called a bet of 800 from PokerStars Ambassador Parker Talbot.

On the A♣ turn, Mestre Ferreira again check-called a bet of 2,300 from Talbot.

The river brought the J♠ and this time Ferreira led out with a bet of 5,500, leading to a swift fold from Talbot.

On the very next hand, cards were on their backs and the same players were all-in, with Mestre Ferreira at risk.

Joao Mestre Ferreira: A♥5♥
Parker Talbot: K♠K♦

Talbot's kings were in great shape and improved to a set on the A♦6♦K♥ flop, with the 10♥ turn and 5♣ river sealing Mestre Ferreira's fate.

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Kalidou Sow opened to 2,000 from the cutoff and was called by Ruoqin Cai in the small blind and Andreas Tomazou in the big blind.

Action checked to Sow on the 8♠A♠A♦ flop and he continued for 1,600. Only Tomazou called.

Tomazou check-called a 4,500 turn barrel from Sow on the K♦ turn and then both players checked down on the 10♣ river.

Tomazou turned over 8♥5♦ for aces and eights and Sow mucked — conceding the pot to Tomazou.

Andreas Tomazou	85,000 9,000	9,000

Patrick Cole

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

Anthony Dery opened from early position to 2,000. Fredric Steinbach called from the small blind and Alessandro Pichierri put in a reraise to 7,000.

Dery wasted no time before announcing all in for around 25,000. Steinbach quickly folded and Pichierri made the call.

Anthony Dery: J♠J♥
Alessandro Pichierri: K♣K♠

The flop of K♦2♠9♦ left Dery drawing almost dead to Pichierri's set. The 10♣ gave Dery a straight draw but the A♣ river sent Dery to the rail.

Fredric Steinbach	137,000 137,000	137,000
