Zervos Finds the Right Time to Wake Up With Aces

David Salituro

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Sergey Lebedev moved all in for 15,000 under the gun and Samuel Polack reshoved for around 25,000 in the hijack. Action folded to Alexios Zervos in the big blind who took a peek at his cards and snap-called.

Sergey Lebedev: 5♠5♣
Samuel Polack: 6♥6♣
Alexios Zervos: A♦A♠

Zervos had both players crushed with his two aces and left them nearly drawing dead as the 7♦9♣A♥ further gave him top set. The board ran out 8♥Q♠ and Zervos scored the double knockout.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Parker Talbot shoved in early position and the dealer counted out his stack of 16,000 chips. Adil Touri made the call in the hijack before Gaelle Baumann also moved all in for just 500 chips more. Touri called and the hands were turned up.

Parker Talbot: 2♣2♥
Gaelle Baumann: A♣Q♥
Adil Touri: A♦J♦

Touri had the worst of it but jumped in front on the 4♥J♦6♥ flop. The 5♥ turn brought Baumann a flush draw, but the A♠ river was no help.

Touri sent both Baumann and Talbot to the rail early on Day 2.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

On a completed board of 10♠8♣6♠2♦Q♦, Viacheslav Buldygin checked and Hugo Machado bet 14,000. Buldygin then check-raised to 34,500 for almost all of his stack, keeping just 1,500 in chips behind.

Machado asked for a count and was in the tank while Bryn Kenney arrived casually in a Japanese jacket, telling Lexy Gavin-Mather he "had a nice breakfast first". Machado called a few seconds later and Buldygin rolled over the Q♠8♠ for two pair, while Machado exposed his Q♣J♣.

The hand left Machado with three blinds and they vanished shortly after. Also featured on the table are Stan Jablonski, Dimitar Danchev, as well as Vlad Darie.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Lander Lijo headed to the rail as his cards were just about turned over. It appeared to have been Ax8x in the cutoff but the Spaniard could not solve kicker problems. Valentin Oberhauser on the button held the superior A♣Q♦ and the board ran out J♣5♦4♥A♦5♠.

Frank Visser

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Jonathan Therme had raised under the gun and Laurent Azout put in a three-bet to 7,500.

The action folded back to Therme, who put in his stack of 48,000. Azout asked for a count and made the call shortly thereafter.

Jonathan Therme: A♥A♦
Laurent Azout: J♠J♦

Therme's aces faced no resistance on the Q♦2♥9♦6♥5♦ board, and he booked a comfortable double-up to get an above-average stack.

Meanwhile, players on other tables were less lucky as the first names are flying out in the early minutes of Day 2.
