Bad River for Talbot

Calum Grant

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Marcelo Manfredini opened to 12,000 from middle position and was called by Nikola Sekler from the hijack. Kondah Abdelhadi and Parker Talbot called from the blinds.

Talbot led out for 12,000 on the 7♠6♠2♦ flop and only Manfredini called. Talbot sized up to 23,000 on the 2♠ turn and was called once more.

The Q♠ completed the board and action checked through to showdown.

Talbot had 10♦6♦, but was bested by his opponent's A♦Q♥.

"Bad River!" shouted Talbot.

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Romain Lewis jammed for about 44,000 in early position, and the action folded around to Mats Ullereng in the big blind as he dropped a chip to make the call.

Romain Lewis: J♥10♥
Mats Ullereng: A♦K♥

Lewis was a small underdog but the Q♠10♠6♥ flop gave him the lead with a pair of tens. It was short-lived though as the A♥ fell on the turn, and Lewis couldn't complete his flush draw as the Q♣ paired the board on the river.

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Bernard Mendy raised to 11,000 from under the gun and earned two callers in David Tous Rosich from the next seat and Alessandro Adinolfo.

The flop came 5♦3♥2♦ and it checked to Adinolfo, who bet 15,000. Mendy called only for Tous Rosich to check-shove for around 150,000. Adinolfo then also called all-in and Mendy vaulted out of his chair, exclaiming "ah putain," then folding.

Alessandro Adinolfo: 4♥4♠
David Tous Rosich: Q♥Q♠

The 8♦ turn and K♠ river completed the board for Adinolfo to bust.

"You win?" Tous Rosich asked and Mendy replied "of course I win, king-high flush draw."

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Dominique Franchi open shoved for 37,000 from middle position and Marcelo Manfredini called in the small blind. He had Franchi well covered as players turned their cards.

Dominique Franchi: K♣K♥
Marcelo Manfredini: Q♣10♣

The board ran out A♠2♠J♣7♥J♠. Franchi held with his pocket kings for a much needed double up as the bubble fast approaches.

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Scott Margereson opened 12,000 and Timo Kamphues three-bet to 30,000 from a couple of spots to his left. The action folded back around to Margereson and he jammed for 69,000. Kamphues snap-called.

Scott Margereson: K♠K♦
Timo Kamphues: A♣Q♦

The J♠10♦8♥ flop gave Kamphues a double gutshot straight draw but Margereson was able to fade it as the Q♥ hit the turn, and the 4♦ landed on the river.

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

On a board of A♣7♣5♦Q♣7♥ with 114,000 in the middle, David Tous Rosich bet 100,000. Espen Nikolaisen went into the tank and folded.

Shortly after, Finn Zwad pushed for 52,000 and Tous Rosich looked him up.

Finn Zwad: 9♥9♠
David Tous Rosich: Q♠Q♦

The board ran out A♦8♥6♠8♠2♥ and Zwad will have to jump into the final turbo heat.

"Write it down, he should be out and now he is playing like crazy," Bernard Mendy joked.

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Yang Zhang opened to 12,000 from middle position before Candido Cappiello three-bet to 30,000 on his direct left. Zhang, the bigger stack, moved all in and Cappiello called off his stack of 154,000.

Candido Cappiello: 10♦10♣
Yang Zhang: A♠6♠

Cappiello's tens remained best and were never troubled following the 2♣2♦J♣9♦9♥ runout. A few hands later, Zhang was eliminated.

Double Knockout Boosts Dimitrov; Bubble Approaching Rapidly

Christian Zetzsche

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Only around 185 players remain and the latest all-in showdown reduced the field by two hopefuls in the following contest.

Fabien Jacqueline: J♠10♠
Tamer Kamel: A♣J♣
Stefan Dimitrov: A♦Q♥

Dimitrov had the biggest stack and best hand against two opponents. The Q♠4♣2♦ cemented his lead while he 3♥ turn gave Tamer Kamel some chop outs. Nothing changed with the 10♦ river and Dimitrov claimed the entire pot to move up to nearly half a million in chips.

It appears that this is not the lead, however, as Lukas Hafner has even more chips.

Player	Chips	Progress
Lukas Hafner	680,000 680,000	680,000
Stefan Dimitrov	480,000 323,000	323,000

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

With about 100,000 in the pot already, the turn read 9♥7♥2♠9♣, and Georgi Sandev check-raised all-in for 74,000 against the bet of 50,000 from Salvino Belhoul. Belhoul called.

Georgi Sandev: J♦J♣
Salvino Belhoul: 7♠5♠

Sandev's jacks were good on the 4♥ river, sending the double up his way.
