Heath Pays Geci

Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Ben Heath raised to 2,400 as first to act and Endrit Geci made it 7,200 to go on the button. After Heath made sure he knew what his opponent's stack was, he put in the call.

Both players went on to check on the Q79 flop before Heath check-called Geci's bet of 6,000 chips on the 9 turn.

The 7 river then completed the board and Heath checked once more. Geci now bet 17,000 chips, around half his stack. Heath flicked in a quick call and Geci showed AK for a flush.

Heath's cards swiftly hit the muck and he paid Geci his dues.

Kenjic Flipped Out by Prieto Roldan

Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Jovan Kenjic had previously chopped with Jan Kesänen when his queen-jack was dominated by the AQ of Jan Kesänen. He now three-bet jammed for 21.300 and Samuel Prieto Roldan quickly called.

Jovan Kenjic: QJ
Samuel Prieto Roldan: 1010

The pocket pair remained ahead on the 85487 runout and Kenjic grabbed his belongings.

"Good luck tomorrow," another player at the table remarked.

[Removed:555] Runs Into Aces to Bust

Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

[Removed:554] open-jammed for the last 12,800 on the button and Aleksandr Shevliakov in the small blind asked for an exact count, then tossed in a single chip for the call. Bernard Darmon in the big blind folded.

[Removed:554]: Q10
Aleksandr Shevliakov: AA

[Removed:555] earned a lot of equity on the 732 flop and 10 turn, but the 6 river was a blank to send the Dutchman to the rail.

A Pot for the New Team Pro

Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Simon Wiciak
Simon Wiciak

Earlier today, 2023 EPT Barcelona Main Event champ Simon Wiciak was unveiled as the latest addition to PokerStars Team Pro, and his stack is in good shape ahead of Day 2 as he just picked up a pot to hit the 80,000 mark.

Iurii Kondrat opened to 2,400 from the button and saw Yuto Suzuki called from the small blind. Wiciak squeezed to 12,000 from the big blind and only Kondrat called.

Wiciak then folded out his opponent with a bet of 8,500 on the AJ10 flop.

Sandev Doubles With Kings

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

Georgi Sandev and Lars Tungel were heads up on a flop of 71010. With around 8,000 chips in the middle, Tungel had checked and Sandev had made a bet of 2,100. Tungel then raised to 8,100, after which Sandev jammed all in for 27,100.

Tungel thought about it for a bit but eventually flicked in a call to put Sandev at risk.

Georgi Sandev: KK
Lars Tungel: K7

Tungel's two pair was in deep trouble against Sandev's higher two pair. The A turn did nothing for either player, and the K river saw Sandev make a full house to secure his double-up, surpassing Tungel in chips.

Guelpa Eliminated by Jorgne

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

With some 17,000 in the middle to the 1097 flop, Stephane Guelpa checked in middle position. Peter Jorgne bet 6,500 in the cutoff only to get check-raised to 21,000. Jorgne then pushed all-in and Guelpa called.

Stephane Guelpa: 98
Peter Jorgne: 77

Jorgne was ahead with a set of sevens and whispered "no heart". That request was granted on the 2 turn and 3 river before the stacks were counted. Jorgne's 116,700 covered as Guelpa only had around 102,000 and last year's runner-up soared to one of the biggest stacks in the room.

Ryan Plant: KQ
Fabian Niederreiter: AQ

The board ran out J1094J and Plant doubled with the flopped straight.

Double for Speranza

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

Action was caught on the river, with 42,000 in the pot on the A6102A completed board.

Gianluca Speranza checked from the small blind before Mustafa Simsek bet 22,500 from the hijack. Speranza then moved all in for 45,000 and Simsek immediately grimaced. He thought over his options for quite some time before putting in the call.

Speranza tabled AQ and took in the pot as he bested Simsek's JJ.
