Ladies No Good for Harnischberg

Richard Hayes

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Around 10,500 was in the middle on a flop of 7♥7♠2♠, when Sebastian Sulzbach jammed for 12,000, receiving a quick call from Pascal Harnischberg.

Sebastian Sulzbach: J♠5♠ All in
Pascal Harnischberg: Q♦Q♠

Harnischberg's queens were good but he had plenty of outs to dodge versus Sulzbach's flush draw.

Sulzbach binked the 6♠ turn, and Harnischberg could not find the queen he needed on the 9♥ river.

Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

Efstathios Kavoukis opened to 1,100 from early position and was met with a three-bet to 3,600 from Codrin Macovei in the cutoff. Action folded back to Kavoukis, who called.

On the J♦3♦2♣ flop, Kavoukis check-called versus a bet of 3,700 from Macovei.

The same pattern followed on the K♥ turn, this time in respect of a bet of 5,600.

Macovei sized down on the 4♠ river, putting out a bet of 5,700. Kavoukis called but swiftly mucked when shown K♣Q♥ for the turned pair of kings.

Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

"Do you get a prize or something?" a player at Christos Argyriadis' table asked the Greek player, who had just sent PokerStars Ambassador to the rail. Argyriadis recounted the hand, with him opening to 1,100 and calling a three-bet from Boatman to 3,100 out of the small blind.

Boatman continued for 2,500 on the Qx8x3x flop and Argyriadis called. The turn was a 2x and Boatman bet 5,000. Argyriadis raised to 10,000 and Boatman raised all in for around 25,000. Argyriadis called.

Barny Boatman: 3x2x All in
Christos Argyriadis: AxQx

Boatman was ahead having turned two pair, but the river Ax improved Argyriadis to a better two pair and Boatman was eliminated.

Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

Yoni Bezalel three-bet jammed for 13,500 from middle position over an early position open and call, but the action wasn't done there.

Mykola Maliuta was in the next seat, and he cold-called. Luigi Pignataro then produced a three-bet to 28,100 from the cutoff, with the previously active players getting out of the way.

Malitua back-jammed with a stack covering Pignataro, and Pignataro quickly got his stack of around 42,000 into the middle.

Yoni Bezalel: A♦K♠ All in
Luigi Pignataro: J♦J♠ All in
Mykola Maliuta: K♦K♣

Bezalel said "I'm live at least" when he saw his opponent's holdings, and the A♥10♣8♥ flop put him in front.

The Q♠ turn gave Pignataro one out to the straight, but the A♠ river improved Bezalel further to trip aces. Malitua took a 25,000 side pot to knock out Pignataro, who wished the table well as he departed.

Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

Darko Percic limped and another player raised to 1,500. Andrei Konopelko three-bet to 7,500 and was the only caller once Percic shoved for 20,000.

Darko Percic: 8♣8♥ All in
Andrei Konopelko: 4♣4♠

The flop was 10♦3♥2♦, but the 4♥ turn improved Konopelko to a set. The river 4♦ gave him quads and Percic snapped a quick picture before exiting the tournament area.
