Rivered Set Can't Save Shimizu

David Salituro

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

Nozomu Shimizu was all in for his last 15,000 from the button and up against Allan Ribeiro under the gun.

Nozomu Shimizu: 8♥8♦
Allan Ribeiro: 10♦10♣

Shimizu was dominated and fell even further behind on the 10♠5♥4♥ flop as Ribeiro made a set of tens. The 3♠ turn left him drawing dead, only for the 8♣ to fall on the river.

"That's the f**k you card," a tablemate joked as Shimizu headed for the rail.

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

Maher Achour opened in middle position before Sven Stok moved his larger stack all in from the hijack. Action folded back around to Achour, who made the call and was at risk.

Maher Achour: J♠J♦
Sven Stok: K♥K♦

Achour was in rough shape and could not catch up on the 2♦6♣A♥10♠A♠ runout, as Stok's kings held to take down a nice pot.

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

Jeremie Demri raised to 2,600 in early position, then called when Andreas Kaddour shoved for 16,500 in the hijack.

Andreas Kaddour: K♠J♠
Jeremie Demri: A♠J♥

Demri had Kaddour dominated, but Kaddour picked up a flush draw on the Q♥Q♠7♠ flop and completed it on the 8♠ turn. The river was the 3♦ and he doubled up off the former chip leader.

At the same time on another table, Leo Margets bet 5,000 from middle position on a flop of 7♦8♦4♥ and Remigiusz Wyrzykiewicz raised to 12,000 in early position.

Margets called and the 5♦ fell on the turn. Wyrzykiewicz then put Margets all in and she snap-folded for her last 25,000.

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

Eduardo Lopes was all-in for around 15,000 and at risk versus Joakim Andersson.

Eduardo Lopes: A♦K♠
Joakim Andersson: A♥A♣

Lopes had been extremely unfortunate to run his ace-king into Andersson's aces, and no unlikely escape was forthcoming for Lopes on the 7♠J♥6♣10♣7♣ runout.

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

Daisuke Ogita opened to 2,500 from under the gun and Andre Marques defended his big blind.

The 10♣8♦9♦ flop was checked through by both players.

On the A♣ turn Marques checked to Ogita, who put out a bet of 1,500. Marques then produced a check-raise to 6,000. Ogita called.

On the 3♥ river, Marques led out with a bet of 13,000, leaving himself a single 100 chip behind. Ogita moved all-in and Marques snap-folded.

Jahn Calls His Own Counterfeit Card

Josh Noy

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

Soenke Jahn's open from the cutoff was called by Mohamed Kerkeni in the small blind. Sho Homma then moved all in from the big blind and Jahn also moved his stack into the middle. Kerkeni called and the hands were turned up.

Sho Homma: A♠K♥
Mohamed Kerkeni: A♥J♠
Soenke Jahn: K♣K♦

Jahn was looking to dodge an ace and stayed ahead on the monotone 5♦6♦7♦ flop. Holding the only diamond, Jahn then improved to a flush on the 3♦ turn, but an unlikely chop was still in play.

"Four of diamonds" said Jahn, calling for a card that would chop the pot. The dealer complied by turning over the 4♦, leaving a straight flush on the board.

The table reacted in amazement, as all three players improbably collected their share of the pot.

Player	Chips	Progress
Soenke Jahn	34,000 34,000	34,000
Mohamed Kerkeni	33,200 33,200	33,200

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

In a battle of the blinds, the board read 4♥3♥10♥K♥ and around 3,800 was in the middle, after Conor Beresford checked to his opponent, Andrea Dato.

Dato put out a slight overbet of 4,000 and Beresford called.

The K♠ rolled off on the river and Beresford checked to Dato. Dato promptly put out a bet of 15,000 into the 12,000 pot, leading Beresford to fold after a minute or two of consideration.

As Dato raked in the pot, Beresford told his opponent "I had a king and a heart."

David Salituro

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

Three-handed on a flop of 8♥10♣6♦, Gheorghe Gradinaru bet 4,500 from middle position before Gilbert Diaz moved all in for 24,600 on the button. Pascal Hartmann called in early position, sending Gradinaru into the tank. He considered the decision for a minute before open-folding J♥10♥.

Gilbert Diaz: 8♣6♥
Pascal Hartmann: Q♦Q♣

Diaz was ahead with his two pair but the Q♠ spiked on the turn to give Hartmann a set. Diaz slammed the table in frustration as he was drawing dead heading to the 10♠ river.
