Streicher Dodges Outs to Double

Richard Hayes

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

Jan Streicher opened to 3,500 from the cutoff, and was faced with a three-bet to 12,000 from Alessandro Adinolfo in the small blind. Action folded back to Streicher, who called.

On the 9♠7♠3♦ flop, Adinolfo jammed with the covering stack, and Streicher quickly got his last 19,500 in the middle.

Jan Streicher: 9♦8♦ All in
Alessandro Adinolfo: A♠10♠

Streicher had top pair nines, but had outs to dodge versus Adinolfo's flush draw and overcards, and he did just that on the 9♥Q♣ runout, as Streicher improved to trip nines.

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

Luis Moreira limped from the cutoff and Felix Van Beuningen shoved the button for 13,500. Bo Hoebe was in the big blind and shoved his stack into the middle, and Moreira folded with around 25,000 behind.

Felix Van Beuningen: J♠10♠ All in
Bo Hoebe: A♣9♣

Hoebe had made the right shove, but wasn't rewarded for it as Van Beuningen paired his ten on the 10♦K♦K♠8♠6♥ runout to double up.

"We need chips!" said Alexander Donev, "Everybody at this table is short-stacked" he added. Donev was right, everybody seated at the table had less than 30 big blinds in their stack.

Player	Chips	Progress
Bo Hoebe	40,000 40,000	40,000

Apostolos Chantzis opened from under the gun to 2,000. Michel Karim then three-bet to 6,500 from early position. Action folded around to Halim Kara in the small blind.

He opted to four-bet to 17,500. Chantzis folded fairly quickly before Karim tanked for around a minute. He ultimately decided to muck his hand and forfeit the pot to Kara.

Kai Cocklin

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

There were five limps for 1,500 before Patrick Bueno shoved from the small blind for around 18,000. Only one of those limpers, Lucas Scafini, made the call to put Bueno at risk.

Patrick Bueno: A♠9♥ All in
Lucas Scafini: 8♥7♥

Bueno was ahead and needed to fade the live cards of Scafini. A flop of 9♠K♠10♣ did pair Bueno, but also added an open-ended straight draw for Scafini. However, the 2♥2♠ runout changed nothing, and Bueno doubled up.

Player	Chips	Progress
Lucas Scafini	45,000 45,000	45,000

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

Rytis Sandaras opened to 3,000 from early position and Danut Chisu defended the big blind.

On the J♠4♣3♦ flop, Chisu check-called versus a bet of 2,500 from Sandaras.

The same pattern followed on the 8♦ turn, in respect of a bet of 6,500.

The 2♦ river was checked through. Chisu tabled 5♣4♠ for a pair of fours, but Sandaras took the pot with 9♥9♦.

Three-way on a flop of K♥2♣K♦, Claudio Di Giacomo in middle position bet 4,000. He was called by Simon Higgins on the button, while the big blind folded.

Di Giacomo fired a second barrel of 6,000 on the Q♦ turn. Higgins called once again, then checked back the 8♣ river.

Di Giacomo flipped over 7♥7♣ for two pair, and Higgins cards went into the muck.

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

Barry Grime was seen raking in a pot at showdown with Ladislao Dalfo being the player having to fork over the chips.

The board read 4♠3♥3♦4♦J♠ and Grime's 7♠7♥ was showing with his 43,000 chips in the middle, which were obviously good for the pot as Dalfo's hand had been mucked.

After that hand, Grime's stack now sits at around 90,000 while Dalfo's dropped to 65,000.

Player	Chips	Progress
Barry Grime	90,000
Ladislao Dalfo	65,000 63,800	63,800
