Hudon Gets Some Chips Back

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Christian Zetzsche

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Jose Plaza min-raised the K♣5♠ out of the small blind and Eliot Hudon defended the 8♦4♣. The Q♠4♠4♦ flop gave Hudon trips and he bet-called a raise by Hudon from 25,000 to 75,000. Plaza called but check-folded the 10♣ turn when Hudon made it 160,000 to go despite using one time bank to think about it.

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Mathias Sijander raised to 50,000 in the cutoff before Matthias Lipp three-bet to 400,000 in the small blind, leaving himself 50,000 behind. Derk van Luijk called in the big blind, while Siljander folded.

"You just call, right," Lipp asked as the flop came 3♥J♣6♣. Lipp checked to Van Luijk who then moved all in. Lipp called off his last chips.

Matthias Lipp: A♦9♦
Derk van Luijk: K♣K♥

Van Luijk was ahead with his kings and Lipp couldn't catch up on the 8♣ turn or 3♣ river to hit the rail.

"I didn't think I had him covered," Van Luijk explained as Lipp headed off to collect his payout.

Li called bets of 95,000 and 385,000 on the flop and turn for the final board to read 6♣3♦3♥2♥A♥. Li, with around 680,000, decided to preserve his stack after Mavritsakis fired out 600,000.

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Lorenzo Arduini raised to 45,000 in early position and Ami Barer called in the cutoff.

The flop came 10♠4♣5♠ and Arduini checked to Barer who bet 35,000. Arduini called and both players then checked the 7♣ turn.

The river was the 7♦ and Arduini led out for 130,000. Barer thought about it for about 30 seconds before calling. "Ten," Arduini announced, turning over 10♣8♣ as Barer mucked.

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Clement Michaud opened to 40,000 from the hijack. Matthias Lipp and Gregory Fournier called from the cutoff and small blind respectively.

Michaud bet 50,000 and 100,000 on the flop and turn, with Fournier being the only caller on both occasions.

With the A♦8♦7♥4♣5♠ board on show, Fournier moved all in as the big stack. Michaud had 270,000 behind and called for his tournament life after spending nearly three minutes in the tank.

Fournier tabled 7♦5♦ for sevens and fives and Michaud tapped the table to signal he had been beaten. He had called with A♥Q♣ and headed to the payout desk.
