Richard Hayes

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Manoe Betrix was all-in for 18,000 and at risk versus Jonas Degen.

Manoe Betrix: 9♦9♥ All in
Jonas Degen: A♣K♠

Betrix didn't seem confident when he saw the cards, stating "I'm running bad this year", to which Degen responded "Don't worry, you'll win this one."

The Q♣6♣2♣ flop kept Betrix in front but Degen now had the club draw to go with his overcards, and he didn't need to wait long to hit the front after the A♠ turn, with the 3♣ river improving him to the nut flush.

Dmitrijs Kozlovskis: 9♥9♠

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

Alessandro Adinolfo had produced a three-bet to 15,500 from the big blind over an open from Anton Suarez and two calls. Suarez four-bet jammed for 41,500 and Adinolfo called after the other players departed the scene.

Anton Suarez: J♦J♥ All in
Alessandro Adinolfo: 6♥5♥

Suarez seemed in good shape, but the K♥8♣7♠ flop spelt danger, giving Adinolfo an up and draw draw.

The 9♣ rolled off on the turn to leave Suarez drawing to a ten, and it did not arrive on the 7♥ river.

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

With around 5,000 chips in the pot on a board of 4♠4♦7♣Q♣, Salvatore Boi checked and Muhibur Rahman bet 3,500. Christian Baumdicker called, then Boi made it 25,000. Rahman then shoved his stack of almost 200,000 into the middle, which got Baumdicker to fold after a while. Boi, however, did the opposite and immediately called off his stack of almost 58,000.

Salvatore Boi: 10♥4♥ All in
Muhibur Rahman: 4♣2♠

Both players had turned trips but it was the kicker of Boi that was playing with one card to come. There were some chop opportunities for Rahman to find, but the 10♠ river wasn't one of them as Boi made a full house and doubled up.

Muhibur Rahman	140,000

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

Lasse Lauritsen was all-in preflop with two other players still in the hand.

Carsten Meyer-Nordhorn and Sorin Ionut Morariu checked the K♣J♥10♣ flop and Q♣ turn and the river was the 4♦. With 44,000 in the middle already, Meyer-Nordhorn bet 12,000 and Morariu quickly folded.

Lauritsen tabled Q♦10♥ for two pair, but the A♣K♥ for Meyer-Nordhorn took down the pot and eliminated Lauritsen.

Heidel's Stack on a Rollercoaster, Hareuveni Doubles

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

Oliver Heidel had more than doubled up since PokerNews last checked on Table #41, but he quickly lost most of his new-found riches in a hand with his table neighbor David Hareuveni.

Hareuveni was on the button and ended up calling off his stack of 65,500 after Heidel had shoved from the small blind for around 80,000.

David Hareuveni: K♦Q♥ All in
Oliver Heidel: 7♥7♠

Heidel maintained his advantage through the 9♥4♦10♥ flop, but Hareuveni paired his king on the K♥ turn to propel himself into the lead. Only a seven on the river would earn Heidel the pot, but instead the 8♥ filled out the board, which improved Hareuveni to a bigger flush.

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

Monir Marie blind shoved from under the gun for 12,500, and received calls from Borgki Biba and Pierre Costa, before Abdelhakim Zoufri three-bet to 35,000.

Biba moved all in for around 55,000, Costa followed suit for around 42,000, and Zoufri called off the difference with the covering stack.

Monir Marie: 8♥5♦ All in
Pierre Costa: A♠J♠ All in
Borgki Biba: 10♦10♠ All in
Abdelhakim Zoufri: 5♠5♥

Biba had the best of it preflop, but Costa went ahead after the Q♦J♦3♥ flop gave him second pair jacks. However the 10♣ rolled off on the turn to give Biba a set, and the 4♦ river was a brick to send him a monster pot.

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

Salvatore Camarda was once among the chip leaders on Day 1e, but has dropped down the counts after the latest hand he played.

Camarda opened to 4,000 from under the gun then called a three-bet from Bogdan Tapu in the next seat.

They went to a flop of 3♣5♥Q♦ where Camarda checked and Tapu fired 4,500. Camarda then check-raised to 15,500. and Tapu immediately moved all-in for 50,000. Camarda revealed 7♣7♠ and sounded like he said "Call,", but did confirm it was a fold.

Tapu was kind enough to show K♥K♠ to his table neighbor, showing Camarda that he did make the right fold.

Bogdan Tapu	90,000 35,000	35,000

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

Spyros Karathanos had three-bet to 20,000 versus Tamer Ibrahim's open, and was faced with a four-bet jam by his opponent with the covering stack.

Karathanos, who had 73,500 behind, engaged in some chatter with Ibrahim, who assured him he was strong.

The table talk might have persuaded Karathanos to go for it, as after a minute or so of more thought he made the call.

Spyros Karathanos: Q♦J♦ All in
Tamer Ibrahim: A♦K♣

Ibrahim was ahead, but Karathanos smashed the Q♠9♥8♦ flop, hitting top pair and a straight draw. He improved to the straight on the 10♠ turn, and the 4♠ river confirmed his double-up.

Spyros Karathanos	193,000 193,000	193,000

Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Jussi Matilla limped in from the small blind and Arian Kashani made it 8,000 from the big blind. Matilla called.

The flop came J♥4♠3♦ and Matilla check-called a bet of 6,000 from Kashani to see the 2♥ turn. Again, Matilla went into check-call mode when Kashani bet 20,000.

On the Q♠ river, Matilla checked for a third time and Kashani bet 17,000. Matilla went into the tank and looked to be in a tough spot while he mulled it over, but eventually settled on a fold, and Kashani was pushed the pot.
