Treccarichi Expands Big Stack

Frank Visser

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Stanislav Zegal and Walter Treccarichi had gathered 39,500 chips preflop when Zegal checked from the big blind on a J♥8♦4♣ flop. Treccarichi then made a bet of 15,000 and Zegal called.

On the 4♥ turn, Treccarichi fired 28,000 more after another check, and Zegal once again put in the same amount. The 5♠ river was then checked down and Zegal showed Q♠J♦ for top pair.

However, Treccarichi had him pipped with K♥J♠ for the same pair with a better kicker. He scooped up a big pot and ended up with more than ten starting stacks.

The river was the 2♣ and Chamas bet 55,000, leaving himself only 7,000 behind. Fournier tanked for more than a minute before calling.

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

The action was caught as the cards were swept away, but Benjamin Spragg had gone all in in the big blind on a completed king-high board and had been called by Ken Oberlieben in the small blind.

Spragg's K♦8♠ for top pair outkicked Oberlieben's K♣6♥ and he raked in the pot.

"Weren't you at least scared when I snapped you off?", Oberlieben asked.

"A bit," Spragg admitted.

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Sirzat Hissou raised to 4,000 in early position before Aldo Nobile three-bet to 12,000 on the button. Hissou called once action got back to him.

The flop came 2♠K♣J♣ and Nobile continued for 11,000. Hissou called again and they both checked the K♠ turn.

The river was the 9♣ and Hissou led out for 8,000. Nobile called, only to muck once Hissou showed J♥6♥ for two pair. Nobile got out of his seat and paced around the table muttering to himself for a few moments while Hissou stacked up the chips.

FPS Main Event champion Mateusz Moolhuizen and Yulian Bogdanov are also at this table.

Aces No Good for Nolet

Richard Hayes

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Florian Duta opened to 4,000 under the gun and was met with a three-bet to 12,500 by Guillaume Nolet two seats along.

Duta thought for a while and then produced a four-bet to 27,000. After quite a bit of thought, Nolet just called.

The flop came K♣2♠Q♠ and Duta slid out a bet of 9,000, which Nolet called.

On the 5♥ turn Duta continued with a bet of 17,000 and Nolet again called, again after a fair bit of thought.

On the 8♣ river Duta emptied the clip and moved all in for 47,500. Nolet thought about it, but made a reasonably quick call.

Duta showed K♦K♥ for top set and Nolet had A♦A♣ for a pair of aces in a complete cooler.

As he raked in the pot, Duta said "Unlucky, I thought so, it was either aces or queens".

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Henri Kasper in the small blind and Samantha Abernathy in the cutoff were heads up on a completed board of 7♦9♥A♥2♣5♦.

With around 60,000 in the pot, Kasper made a bet large enough to put Abernathy all-in. Abernathy thought about it for a bit and then stuck in the 41,000 chips she had left for a call.

Kasper immediately tapped on the table and showed his K♠10♠ for king-high. Abernathy played A♦J♠ for top pair and doubled up, while Kasper was left with a starting stack.

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Heads-up on a flop of 8♠8♦6♠, Soenke Jahn bet 5,000 from the hijack before Padraig O'Neill raised to 13,000 on the button.

Jahn called and the 7♣ fell on the turn. O'Neill then announced he was all in.

Jahn had just over 40,000 behind and spent a minute twirling his chips before his fingers and leaning over the table before tossing his cards into the muck.
