Frankland Hits the River to Leave Miquel Munoz on Crumbs

David Salituro

Level 25 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Mathew Frankland and Marta Miquel Munoz saw a flop of A♣3♠9♦ where Frankland got his last 330,000 in from the button and Miquel Munoz put him at risk in middle position, having Frankland barely covered.

Mathew Frankland: A♦Q♥
Marta Miquel Munoz: A♠2♣

Frankland was ahead with his queen-kicker until the 2♠ fell on the turn to give Miquel Munoz two pair. The river, though, was the Q♣ and Frankland made a better two pair to win the pot.

"Chip and a chair," Miquel Munoz said as she sat back down to an extreme short stack.

Level 25 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Farid Jattin opened to 100,000 first-to-act and action folded around to Jose Plaza in the big blind, who announced he was all in. Jattin quickly called all in for approximately 300,000 total and a showdown was held.

Farid Jattin: Q♠Q♦
Jose Plaza: A♣J♦

Jattin was in good shape to double up with his queens and remained that way on the 4♥K♦6♦ flop and 7♦ turn; however, the A♠ appeared on the river to give Plaza a winning pair of aces and eliminate Jattin.

Level 25 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Sonny Franco was on the button and got around 700,000 in the middle against big blind Alessandro Pichierri.

Sonny Franco: A♠J♠
Alessandro Pichierri: 4♥4♣

Pichierri remained in the lead on the 9♦K♥8♦ flop, but Franco hit the A♣ on the turn to pull in front. The river was the 2♣ and Franco doubled up.

At the same time on another table, Samy Barka was all in for 300,000 from the big blind and up against Naim Ouachekradi on the button.

Samy Barka: A♦J♥
Naim Ouachekradi: A♠K♥

Ouachekradi had Barka dominated, and Barka found no help on the 10♦10♣8♠4♥3♥ board as he was sent to the rail.

Richard Hayes

Level 25 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

There was 215,000 in front of former professional footballer Jimmy Kebe and Vlad Darie in the next seat, and Nicolas Vayssieries was all-in for 775,000, with Kebe contemplating his decision.

Kebe made the call and after taking some time, Darie folded. Vayssieries was at risk.

Nicolas Vayssieries: A♥Q♣
Jimmy Kebe: K♥K♣

Kebe's kings were in good shape and remained so after the 3♦4♥4♣ flop.

However, the A♠ rolled off on the turn and the 5♠ river was not the king Kebe required, allowing Vayssieries to scoop a timely double-up.

Player	Chips	Progress
Vlad Darie	2,000,000 1,465,000	1,465,000

Level 25 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Parker Talbot and Alex Glogar went heads-up to a flop of 9♠J♦7♥ with around 200,000 in the pot when Glogar bet 60,000 from under the gun.

Talbot then raised to 215,000 in the big blind, sending Glogar into the tank as he muttered to himself for a minute. Glogar eventually announced he was all in and Talbot tossed away the A♠. Glogar shot out of his seat and let out a sigh of relief as he took the pot.

"I really thought I was winning. I thought you folded," Talbot said. "Come on, give me some good hands so I don't have to bluff every hand," Talbot pleaded with the dealer.

Alessandro Pichierri then came over and gave Talbot his monkey to put on his shoulder. "This is huge. If I double up, I'm keeping it for sure," Talbot said.

Vladimir Shabalin and Emmanouil Asgoudakis went heads-up to a flop of 9♠4♥4♠ with around 400,000 in the middle when both players got the rest of their chips in the middle.

Emmanouil Asgoudakis: 6♠6♣
Vladimir Shabalin: J♠J♣

Shabalin was ahead with his jacks and stayed in front on the 2♦ turn and 10♣ river. The stacks were counted down and Asgoudakis had 600,000 remaining. Shabalin barely had him covered and took the pot while Asgoudakis headed for the rail.

Level 25 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Henrik Juncker opened to 80,000 on the button and found one caller in Claas Segebrecht in the big blind.

Segebrecht check-called a 50,000 bet from Juncker on the 9♣A♦2♠ flop and a 125,000 bet from Juncker on the 3♣ turn; however, Segebrecht laid his hand down after a lengthy tank facing a 325,000 bet from Juncker on the A♥ river.

“Not a good spot to bluff,” Segebrecht said as Juncker collected the pot.

Level 25 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Candido Cappiello raised to 80,000 on the button before Dann Assouline moved all in for 900,000 in the small blind. "Big one," Cappiello said as he tanked for a minute before calling.

Dann Assouline: A♥Q♠
Candido Cappiello: 8♣8♦

"Do you want him?" Parker Talbot said to Assouline, offering up the monkey for support, but Assouline turned it down as he saw the flop come 3♦A♦3♥ to give him two pair. The rest of the board came Q♦Q♣ and Assouline finished with a full house to double up.

"If that was me you would've snapped for sure," Talbot said to Cappiello after the hand.

Jesse Lonis raised to 80,000 in middle position before Guillermo Gordo three-bet to 225,000 in the hijack. Action folded back to Lonis who four-bet to 400,000.

Gordo then announced he was all in for around 1,100,000 and Lonis quickly folded.
