Dalberg's Bad Feeling as Romero Runs into Aces

Will Shillibier

Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

Richard Dalberg opened from middle position and Alejandro Romero called. Tommy Nguyen then three-bet to 4,800 and Dalberg called.

Romero then shoved for around 25,000 and Nguyen four-bet all in over the top. Dalberg tank-folded and the cards were turned over.

Alejandro Romero: A♣Q♣ All in
Tommy Nguyen: A♥A♠

Dalberg patted himself on the back as the 9♠7♦2♠8♦10♠ board was dealt, sending Romero to the rail.

"Ace-king," Dalberg said after the hand. "I had a bad feeling."

Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

There was 8,000 chips in the middle of a 8♠5♥4♥Q♠ board and David Katav checked to Karl Sandoff who bet 5,500.

Katav check-raised all in putting Sandoff to the test for his last 23,000. Sandoff eventually called.

Karl Sandoff: A♦8♦ All in
David Katav: A♠7♠

Katav needed to hit either of his draws, and the J♠ completed his flush and sent Sandoff to the rail.

Fukazawa tabled K♠Q♣ and Hryncewicz tabled K♦J♦ whilst he let out a frustrated chuckle. The 4♦ river was no help to Hryncewicz and he was eliminated.

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

After Mindaugas Jonuskis opened and was three-bet by Mykhailo Valihura in the next position, Jonuskis four-bet to 15,000.

Valihura then five-bet shoved for 55,700 and Jonusksi went into the tank. He counted out the chips to make the call and pondered his decision before eventually calling.

Mykhailo Valihura: Q♦Q♥ All in
Mindaugas Jonuskis: A♣K♦

Valihura was ahead, but an ace on the turn of a J♠7♦3♦A♠10♠ board saw Jonuskis take the lead and send Valihura to the rail.

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Daniel Beck opened from middle position to 1,800 and Cedric Dorveaux called in the cutoff before Oren Rosen shoved for a little under 20,000 from the button. Beck decided to get out of the way, and Dorveaux called the remainder of his 17,000-chip stack off.

Cedric Dorveaux: 10♦8♥ All in
Oren Rosen: A♦J♦

Dorveaux felt like rolling the dice and he did pick up some extra outs on the 6♥9♦9♠ flop as any seven would complete his straight. A 6♦ on the turn gave Rosen some security with a flush draw, and the K♦ river completed his draw, which sent Dorveaux to the rail.

Player	Chips	Progress
Oren Rosen	35,000 35,000	35,000
Daniel Beck	25,000 25,000	25,000

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

There were already around 12,000 in the middle on a board of K♣2♠7♠4♣ when Ziga Klopcic got his remaining stack of around 13,000 into the pot and was put at risk by Alexandru Anuta.

Ziga Klopcic: K♥J♥ All in
Alexandru Anuta: 4♥4♠

Klopcic didn't stick around to see the river as he was already drawing dead. However, the dealer had to fill out the board so the 2♣ was put out onto the felt, and Anuta added to his stack.

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Virgil Grecu was already all-in preflop and at risk for approximately 10,000 from the big blind against Nicolas Tytgat, who had Grecu covered from early position.

Virgil Grecu: K♣J♦ All in
Nicolas Tytgat: A♦Q♠

The Q♥8♦K♠ flop improved both players, but vaulted Grecu into the lead with a pair of kings. However, the A♣ turn upgraded Tytgat to two pair.

The 8♣ river changed nothing and Grecu was eliminated.

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

The action folded around to Steven Watts in the cutoff, who shoved for 15,400. Andrea Abate on the button stuck in the call, and the blinds folded.

Steven Watts: A♠4♣ All in
Andrea Abate: A♦J♠

Watts may have momentarily thought he took the lead when he saw the 4♠ on the flop, but unfortunately for him, it was followed by J♥Q♦, which kept Abate in the lead. Nothing changed on the K♣8♦ runout, and Watts was sent to the exit.
