Assorted Counts in the Field

Christian Zetzsche

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

By the time the turn showed A♥8♥3♦10♣, there were already around 180,000 in the middle. Naim Ouachekradi was all-in for 75,000 and that sent David Foucault into the tank. He took so long that the clock was called on him and thirty seconds ran down without a decision, as the hand of Foucault was declared dead.

Both players had chatted in French during the decision making and Ouachekradi flashed his A♦J♠.

Further assorted counts can be found below.

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

Khazret Nebezhev four-bet jammed into Rayane Mokhtar for around 141,000 and his opponent forfeited the 35,000 of his three-bet.

There was an open raise to 10,000 after as Fadhil Farag three-bet jammed for 54,000. Mokhtar called and the initial raiser folded.

Fadhil Farag: K♠K♥
Rayane Mokhtar: 10♣10♦

Farag's kings stayed ahead all the way on the J♣9♠4♥9♥6♣ to leap back into contention.

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Hanseok Ko opened to 10,000 first-to-act and Johannes Van Bemmel shoved for approximately 80,000 from the hijack. Action folded back to Ko, who quickly called to put Van Bemmel at risk.

Johannes Van Bemmel: A♦K♠
Hanseok Ko: Q♠Q♦

Ko held a slight lead, which was maintained on the J♥2♦J♦9♣10♥ runout — eliminating Van Bemmel from the tournament.

Clement Michaud: K♠K♣
Paul Pires Trigo: A♠K♦
Mohamed Aissani: 10♣10♥

The board ran out 7♥7♠6♣J♥6♠ and the kings of Michaud held to secure a triple-up, while Pires Trigo was eliminated in the side pot.

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Omar Del Pino opened to 10,000 from the hijack and Refael Dahan shoved for his last 56,000 from the hijack. It was folded back around to Del Pino, who asked for a count and tanked a while before deciding to make the call.

Refael Dahan: 9♠9♦
Omar Del Pino: A♦10♠

Dahan remained ahead with his pair on the 5♠Q♣Q♠ flop and K♣ turn, but the A♥ river paired Del Pino's ace — eliminating Dahan late in the evening.

Kiriopoulos Sends Krasuntsev Packing

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Alexander Krasunstev moved all-in from an early position for the last 11,000 and Alexandre Amiel min-raised to 17,000 from one seat over. Demosthenes Kiriopoulos called on the button and the big blind was still to act. At that time, Krasuntsev already exposed his 8♣4♣, which remained visible to everyone at the table for the remainder of the hand.

Only Amiel and Kiriopoulos remained active to the 7♠5♦2♠ flop that went check, check. Amiel check-folded the 8♠ turn and Kiriopoulos revealed his 7♦7♥ for a set of sevens. A blank K♦ river followed and Krasuntsev stumbled out of his chair, almost knocking Jonas Ten Cate out of his chair.

"If you bet the flop, I bust," Amiel told Kiriopoulos.

Nebezhev Flushes Away Kaddouri

Christian Zetzsche

Level 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Three ways to the J♣7♦2♦ flop, Mounim Kaddouri pushed all-in for 47,000 out of the big blind. Khazret Nebezhev jammed over the top for 81,000 in an early position and Fadhil Farag asked for a count on the larger shove before getting out of the way.

Mounim Kaddouri: A♠J♥
Khazret Nebezhev: K♦J♦

The 6♦ turn instantly locked up the pot for Nebezhev to make the 3♣ river a formality.

As Farag walked out into the break, he mentioned to have folded pocket queens.
