Baqal Leaves Smiljkovic Short

Ollie Garland

Level 32 : 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Yassine Baqal raised from the button and Daniel Smiljkovic moved all in from the small blind. Baqal called off the bet for his remaining 2,105,000, leaving Smiljkovic just 50,000 behind.

Yassine Baqal: A♦K♣
Daniel Smiljkovic: 3♥3♦

Baqal won this flip in an unconventional manner as the board ran out 8♣10♥9♥8♦9♦; Smiljkovic's pocket threes were counterfeited and he was left with dust as Baqal doubled.

The very next hand Smiljkovic was all in and at risk against Enis Rouissi, in the big blind.

Daniel Smiljkovic: J♣9♥
Enis Rouissi: A♥2♥

The board ran out 7♠K♦4♣4♦9♦; Smiljkovic doubled up by spiking a nine on the river.

Level 32 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Scott Margereson raised to 400,000 from the button and both Mateusz Moolhuizen and Gianluca Speranza called in the respective blinds.

Moolhuizen played out of flow, leading on the 3♠9♣8♦ flop. Both Speranza and Margereson called.

The 8♥ turn checked through to the 6♥ river. Moolhuizen checked again, Speranza bet out 750,000 and Margereson called. Moolhuizen thought for some time before raising to 3,200,000. Speranza tossed one chip in the middle to snap-call and Margereson folded just as quickly.

Moolhuizen chose to instantly muck his cards face down and Speranza exercised his right to not show his hand, claiming the pot and leaving the whole table to speculate.

Level 32 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Gianluca Speranza opened to 400,000 from the hijack before Kacper Pyzara three-bet to 1,200,000 from the button. Enis Rouissi tanked in the small blind but decided to release his hand. Action folded back to Speranza, who called.

Speranza check-called for 950,000 on the K♦9♥4♣ flop before the J♣ turn checked through to the J♦ river. Speranza checked once more and Pyzara sized up to 5,000,000.

Speranza mulled over his options for several minutes before the clock was called. As the countdown began, Speranza released his hand.
