Zouari Flops Quads

Kai Cocklin

Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Jeremie Zouari opened from early position to 5,500 and Esteban Cortes shoved for 43,000 from middle position. When it got back to Zouari, he got the exact count then made call, which put Cortes at risk.

Esteban Cortes: A♣K♦ All in
Jeremie Zouari: 5♦5♠

Cortes had to win the flip to stay alive, but his chances were reduced to nil when the 5♥5♣6♣ flop gave Zouari quads! Cortes was drawing dead and didn't stick around to see the 9♦8♣ runout, and Zouari added the chips to his stack.

Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Athanasios Kostouros raised from middle position to 5,000 chips, Samuel Dalleau, who was in the cutoff, shoved all in for 38,000. Action was back on Kostouros and he quickly called.

Samuel Dalleau: A♥K♠ All in
Athanasios Kostouros: 6♦6♥

The flop of 7♦3♥Q♠ was no help to the at risk player. However, the board pairing Q♣ on the turn gave Dalleau some additionally equity. The K♣ on the river gifted Dalleau top pair and he scooped the 80,000-chip pot.

Kai Cocklin

Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Frederik Thiemer with around 40,000, Denis Grimm with around 60,000, and Vitalii Shcherba with a covering stack all got their chips into the middle preflop.

Frederik Thiemer: Q♠Q♥ All in
Denis Grimm: A♠K♠ All in
Vitalii Shcherba: A♥A♣

Shcherba was in an excellent spot to send his stack soaring towards the summit and Grimm was already standing up in preparation for departure. However, the 7♠4♠10♠ flop made Grimm quickly sit back down as he flopped the nut flush to all but lock up the pot. A 4♦ on the turn did give both Thiemer and Shcherba some outs, but the 7♦ river was a brick, which meant Thiemer busted, and Grimm almost tripled up.

As the flop came K♥K♠6♠, Mallu almost simultaneously bet 25,000.

"I knew it was coming," he said. Zabrodostkyi laughed and eventually folded.

"Show the bluff," someone said at the table, with Mallu flinging A♦A♠ open on the table.

Dan O'Hair

Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Michel Molenaar was already all in preflop and at risk for 71,000 from the cutoff against Harald Sammer, who had Molenaar covered from middle position.

Michel Molenaar: A♦J♥ All in
Harald Sammer: A♠3♠

Molenaar was in good shape with his dominating ace, and the 10♣5♣K♥9♠2♣ runout kept him best with his jack-kicker to score the double up.
