Coulier Gets Caught

Frank Visser

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

In a relatively small pot, Nikolai Ivanov and Arne Coulier had arrived on a turn of 8♥4♥A♣Q♥. Ivanov checked from the big blind, after which Coulier made a bet of unknown size.

Ivanov then made a raise with two T-5,000 chips, but Coulier put in even more by three-betting to 15,000.

Ivanov took some time before shoving all in, which caused Coulier to quickly fold and forfeit the pot.

Action folded around to Majid Ahmadian on the button, who counted on a raise to 1,200. Antoine Jallon defended his big blind to see the 2♠9♦9♥ flop.

Both players checked to see the A♠ turn, where Jallon checked. Ahmadian slid out a bet of 1,500 to take down the pot as Jallon mucked.

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

After an open-raise to 1,300 and some calls, Hans Bosman made it 6,700 to go from the big blind. The action then folded to Mehmet Kolgu, one of the initial callers, in middle position, who reraised to 25,000, enough to put Bosman all in.

Bosman made a quick call and the cards went on their backs.

Hans Bosman: A♣Q♥
Mehmet Kolgu: A♠K♣

The 9♣10♥10♣8♠5♣ board could not save Bosman despite the flopped chop outs. He quickly departed while Kolgu chipped up to three starting stacks.

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

In a heads-up pot to the J♥6♣5♦ flop with 6,900 in the middle, Bernard Darmon in the hijack checked over to Axel Hallay on the button and then called a bet worth 2,000. Darmon checked again the 10♣ turn and Hallay bet 6,500.

The shove by Darmon followed and Hallay instantly joked "you are bluffing with the best hand" before tossing his cards into the muck.

With around 13,000 in the middle to the 7♦3♦2♥8♦ turn, the 2023 EPT Paris Main Event runner-up Peter Jorgne pushed all in out of the small blind for essentially the size of the pot. Andrey Andreev was in a brief tank and sent the cards into the muck.

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Endrit Geci opened to 800 from middle position and called when Ihar Soika three-bet to 2,400 from the hijack.

Geci check-called bets of 1,600 and 3,800 for the final board to read A♠J♥9♦Q♣K♥. Geci then led out for 15,000 and Soika decided to preserve the 10,000 he had left behind.
