Fedorca Stops The Bleeding; Chats His Way to a Double

Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Gheorghe Fedorca
Gheorghe Fedorca

Joining the action on the Q648 turn, Francisco Perez Moreno bet 5,500 out of the big blind. Gheorghe Fedorca then raised to 14,500 in the cutoff and Perez Moreno called.

That led them to the K on the river, on which the Spaniard checked. Fedorca moved all-in near instantly and Perez Moreno sighed loudly, sunk into his chair, groaned and asked for a count which happened to be 48,500.

What followed was a tank of more than three minutes during which both players chatted back and forth. Fedorca was smirking, albeit hiding half of his face behind a scarf and he was the one to do most of the talking.

"No flush ... what do you have, a queen?" Fedorca asked.

Perez Moreno responded "bad combo ... very bad hero call," without coming to a conclusion just yet.

Ultimately, the Spaniard asked Fedorca if he likes bluffing.

"Me? Bluff? Never," Fedorca said with a grin on his face and several players at the table chuckled.

"What do you have?" Fedorca inquired again and Perez Moreno replied "I don't see my card."

Aleksejs Ponakovs was one of the spectators and gave Perez Moreno another half a minute before he called the clock. During the thirty second countdown, the call followed and Fedorca tabled the 44 for a set.

"I know ..." Perez Moreno sighed and exposed his Q9.

The table broke right after with the Spaniard leaving on a nub and around two dozen eliminations away from the money bubble.

Rutherford Gets River Jam Through

Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Funaro went into the tank, looking slightly perplexed by his opponent's move.

After counting his chips a few times, Funaro opted to fold.

Big Stacks Clash as Hissou and Aerts Face Off

Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Pieter Aerts and Sirzat Hissou were on a turn of 73JJ. Aerts checked from the big blind, after which Hissou added 11,000 chips to the pot of 25,500 in the hijack.

Aerts made the call and the J river brought trips on the board. Aerts checked once more, resulting in a 32,000 bet from Hissou. Aerts tanked for a bit before flicking in the call and Hissou instantly mucked his hand.

Aerts won the pot without having to show his cards and neared half a million chips as a result.

Alexios Zervos

Alexios Zervos was on the button and three-bet to 22,000 before the flop. Bernhard Binder called in middle position.

The flop came 5J2 and Zervos bet another 18,000. Binder called and the 4 fell on the turn.

Zervos then bet 55,000 and Binder moved all in. Zervos shrugged and called for 226,000.

Binder showed 65 for a pair to go along with straight and flush draws, while Zervos had AA. The river came the 10 and Zervos pumped his fist as he held on to earn the massive double up.

"What a f**king hold," he yelled out as the enormous pile of chips was pushed in his direction.

Clement Michaud opened to 6,000 and was met by a three-bet to 25,000 from Robin Ylitalo in the big blind. After some thought Michaud called.

The A10Q flop was checked by both players.

On the 5 turn Ylitalo led out with a bet of 25,000, which led to a relatively swift fold from Michaud.

Kaufmann Puts On the Pressure Near-Bubble

Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
David Kaufmann
David Kaufmann

Picking up the action on a turn of 3Q25, David Kaufmann checked from the big blind and Andre Marques bet 25,000 into a pot of 30,000 from the button.

Kaufmann made the call and checked on the subsequent 9 river. Marques sized up to 80,000 chips, a pot-sized bet. Kaufmann tanked for a minute or so before announcing his all-in, covering the 290,000 chips of Marques, a stack well above the average.

Marques mulled it over for a bit before finding a fold and preserving his stack as the field is 20 players away from reaching the money.

Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Johannes Verhagen checked the 8839 turn out of the big blind and Bernat Capdevila Montes then bet 13,000 in the hijack. The check-raise to 39,000 by Verhagen followed and the Spaniard reluctantly called.

Verhagen then bet the J river for 70,000 and Capdevila Montes sent his cards into the muck.

Jorgne a Weight Around Stone's Neck

Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Jacob Stone raised to 6,000 in early position before Peter Jorgne three-bet to 15,500 in the small blind. Stone called and they went heads-up to the 10J6 flop.

Jorgne continued for 18,500 and Stone called. The turn was the 6 and Jorgne led out for another 35,000.

Stone gave up his hand this time as Jorgne took the pot right before dinner break.
