Loire Beats Hulme Without Diamonds

Frank Visser

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Julien Loire and Andrew Hulme had had a raising war prelop which ended with 12,000 chips in the middle. Loire then bet a tiny 1,300 chips on 6♦2♦4♦, which Hulme called.

The J♦ turn was subsequentially checked by both players before the 6♣ river saw Loire add 2,500 more to the pot. Hulme decided to put the same amount in the pot for a call, but mucked his cards once Loire turned over A♠A♥ for two pair with aces.

Julien Loire	42,000

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Priit Parmasto checked from the hijack on a completed board of 5♦9♦8♦Q♣K♥. Adrian Vinuele then fired a bet of 5,500 into the pot of 13,000 on the button.

Parmasto took another peek at his cards before throwing in calling chips while announcing "ace-king".

Vineuela turned over J♥10♥ for the turned straight and raked in the pot. "Wow, that's a thing," Parmasto concluded.

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Pierre Calamusa opened to 500 from under the gun and was called by Joao Vieira on the button and Jason Lau in the big blind.

Lau and Calamusa checked the 5♣J♥K♦ flop before Vieira fired 900. Lau continued while Calamusa did not.

The J♣ turn brought another check from Lau and a bet of 1,300 from Vieira. Lau then announced a check-raise to 4,000, which was called by Vieira.

Lau then led out for 5,100 on the A♥ river. Vieira took more than three minutes before sliding out a raise to 14,700. Lau then took a few minutes of his own before making the fold, as Vieira got an early boost to his stack.

Joao Vieira	49,500 19,500	19,500

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Antoine Labat had three-bet preflop from the small blind and Milos Petakovic was the only caller, in the cutoff, leading to 6,600 chips being gathered. Labat then continued for 3,900 on the 9♥2♣6♠ flop before the 10♥ turn was dealt.

Labat piled in 6,900 more chips but this time Petakovic folded and the pot was shipped Labat's way.

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Maksym Filipovskyi checked to Igor Picone on a flop of 3♥6♥9♣. With 5,500 chips in the middle, Picone made a bet of 1,500, which was called by Filipovksyi.

Picon then sized up to 6,500 chips on the 7♦ turn, and another check-call followed from Filipovskyi. The 6♦ river was checked by both players and Filipovskyi tabled 5♦5♣ for two pair.

Picone took one more look at his cards before sliding them into the muck and forfeiting the pot.

"I would've called anyway," Filipovskyi added while he stacked up his chips.

Level 1 : Blinds 100/100, 100 ante

Julien Gal had raised preflop from early position and Javier Rodriguez Gonzalez called from the cutoff. Matteo Cavelier then made it 1,500 to go from the button and both players called.

On the 5♦J♣9♦ flop, the action was checked to Cavelier, who put in another 1,500. Both opponents then quickly folded, seeing Cavelier chip back up after a less-than-ideal start.
