Moreno's Higher Kicker Plays

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Action was on the river on a board of 10373A. Francisco Perez Moreno moved all in for 16,300. Danut Chisu weighed it up and then made the call.

Chisu had A4 for two pair, aces and the threes on board. Moreno flipped over AK for the same two pair but with a king kicker. He won the pot and doubled his stack.

Lugovscoi Knocked Out by Stojanovic

Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

From middle position, Vlada Stojanovic raised and then called the shove by Artiom Lugovscoi for what appeared to be around 6,000.

Artiom Lugovscoi: A10
Vlada Stojanovic: JJ

The Q109 flop gave Lugovscoi a pair and the 8 turn added the diamond draw on top, which he now needed as Stojanovic had a straight. Nothing changed with the 6 river and Lugovscoi was sent to the rail.

Cooler Ends in Quads for Galindo

Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante
Humberto Lopes Galindo
Humberto Lopes Galindo

Humberto Lopes Galindo raised to 1,100 from early position, Olivier Fazio moved all in for his last 1,800 in middle position and Jeremie Tapia cold called in the small blind. Galindo bumped it up to 5,200 and Tapia moved all in. Galindo snap-called.

Olivier Fazio: KJ
Humberto Lopes Galindo: QQ
Jeremie Tapia: AA

The flop brought some action as the window card flashed the A, seemingly locking up the hand for Tapia. However, the 9Q quickly followed behind also giving Galindo a set and Fazio a straight draw.

The Q turn improved Galindo to quads and the 10 river gave Fazio an irrelevant straight. Galindo scooped this massive pot to eliminate Fazio and leave Tapia short.

Caussy Has Ripper Outkicked

Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

Ramesh Caussy opened to 1,000 from the cutoff and was called by Dominik Nitsche on the button and Wagner Ripper in the small blind.

Ripper checked to Caussy on the 1085 flop and he continued for 2,500. Nitsche folded and Ripper called.

Both players proceeded to check down on the J turn and Q river. Ripper turned over K10 for tens with a king kicker, but it was no good against Caussy's A10 for tens with an ace kicker and Caussy was sent the pot.

Nitsche Is Not Messere Around

Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

Dominik Nitsche opened to 1,700 in the cutoff and Owen Messere called out of the big blind, which led the duo to the K44 flop. Messere check-raised from 2,100 to 6,500 and Nitsche called but then folded the J turn once Messere bet 11,000.

"You see how much fun it is when we get to see flops?" Messere joked and then added "next one is yours, though, I am not greedy."

Nitsche raised the very same 1,700 in the next hand to claim the blinds and antes.

Sic Hold

Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

Action was on the flop on a board of 263. Gilbert Sicsic moved all in from out of position for 8,500 in a multiway pot against three opponents. Yevhen Dzhura took him up, throwing in a chip to signify the call. Players turned their cards.

Dzhura had A9 for an ace-high flush draw and Sicsic had AK for ace-high with a stronger kicker.

The turn came the A to give both players a pair of aces, and the river came the 2. Sicsic's kicker played to give him the pot and he doubled up his stack.

Umberto Ruggeri: 66
Yannick Schumacher: KK

The board ran out 6Q85J; Ruggeri got it in way behind the kings of Schumacher, but hit a set on the flop to double up.

Al Fakih Doesn't Back Down

Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

Sal Al Fakih opened to 1,100 on the button and was called by Robert Schulz in the small blind. Kalidou Sow then squeezed to 4,500 from the big blind and, undeterred, Al Fakih made it 14,500 to go.

Both Shculz and Kalidou laid their hands down and Al Fakih collected the pot uncontested.
