Bahiaoui Makes the Wrong Call

Ollie Garland

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

The pot stood at around 11,000 with two players looking at a board of 9♦J♣2♣4♦.

Younes Bahiaoui, in the big blind, bet out 3,000. Levente Szabo, who was under the gun, moved all in for Bahiaoui's effective stack of 29,000. Bahiaoui thought for some time before making the call.

Younes Bahiaoui: Q♠9♣ All in
Levente Szabo: 10♣10♠

Bahiaoui's pair of nines were behind Szabo's pocket pair. The K♣ river sent Bahiaoui to the rail.

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

Virgile Turchi opened from under the gun to 3,000 before Felix Vu three-bet to 13,000 from the next position. Eros Calderone called out of the big blind and Turchi also called.

Calderone checked the 5♦5♠6♣ flop and Turchi shoved for his last 3,000. Vu jammed over the top with the covering stack and Calderone snap-called for his last 47,000.

Virgile Turchi: J♣J♥ All in
Eros Calderone: 2♠2♣ All in
Felix Vu: A♠K♥

Vu needed to find an ace or king if he was to send both players to the rail. The 9♦ hit the turn, but the K♣ fell on the river to give Vu the best hand with a pair of kings, sending Turchi and Calderone to the showers.

Paul Lagan raised to 2,500 from the cutoff. Oleh Pritsak, on the button, three-bet to 7,600 and Lagan called.
