Neugebauer Rivered to the Rail by Barer

Christian Zetzsche

Level 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Ami Barer raised to 16,000 from an early position with the K♥9♣ and table short stack Max Neugebauer defended the big blind with the Q♦5♥. The Q♠10♠4♦ flop gave Neugebauer top pair and he checked, Barer bet 9,000.

Neugebauer check-raised to 22,000 and earned a call from Barer. The 6♠ followed on the turn and Neugebauer only had 34,000 behind, which he moved into the middle. Barer visibly went through the possible combinations, shook his head and called.

Only a king or jack could knock out Neugebauer and the J♥ river ended his run on the new feature table right after coming back from the break.

Vlastos then moved all in for 80,000 and Nixon snap-called. Vlastos turned over Q♣J♣ for a flush and Nixon let out a loud groan before his cards hit the muck.

Level 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Sam Greenwood opened to 16,000 from early position and was three-bet to 42,000 by Boris Angelov in the cutoff. Action folded back to Greenwood, who called.

Greenwood check-called a 26,000 bet from Angelov on the 3♣6♣5♥ flop and then both players checked on the J♣ turn.

The 7♦ filled the river and Greenwood announced a hefty 130,000 bet before putting chips into the middle.

Angelov thought better of it and folded.

"Did you have pocket jacks?" Angelov inquired.

"I can't tell you every time," Greenwood replied. "Maybe pocket deuces."

"You always have a pocket," Angelov said as Greenwood collected the pot.

Level 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

A pot of around 200,000 was already in the middle as Bryan Paris and Jean-Pierre Boulad went to the turn on a board of 10♥K♠6♣9♣. Boulad then bet 75,000 from the button and Paris called in the cutoff.

The river was the 5♠ and Paris checked to Boulad, who this time checked back. Paris showed KxQx for top pair, but Boulad turned over A♥K♣ to win the pot with his ace-kicker.

Level 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Christos Argyriadis raised to 16,000 with the 6♦6♥ and was called by Sergio Countinho on the button with the Q♣10♣, Eliot Hudon called in the small blind with the 4♦4♥.

The flop came A♣Q♦7♣ and it checked to Coutinho, who jammed for the last 41,000 he had behind. Hudon folded but Christos Argyriadis somehow called with the underpair.

After the 2♠ turn, Argyriadis only had one out and the 2♦ river ensured the double of Coutinho.

Level 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Sirzat Hissou opened to 16,000 on the button and just behind him, Gregory Fournier three-bet to 56,000 from the small blind. Hissou thought a bit and shoved for approximately 200,000 more. Fournier snap-called to put Hissou at risk.

Sirzat Hissou: K♠6♠
Gregory Fournier: A♠A♦

It was bad timing for Hissou, and the 8♦9♥5♥A♥A♣ runout needlessly improved Fournier to quads for the elimination.
