Full House for Mao

Richard Hayes

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Renji Mao opened to 10,000 from middle position, and was faced with a three-bet to 26,000 from Luca Maccatrozzo on the button. Action back to Mao, who called.

The A♥10♥10♠ flop was checked through to the Q♥ turn, where Mao led out with a bet of 20,000. Maccatrozzo called.

The A♠ completed the board, and Mao continued with a bet of 45,000. After some thought, Maccatrozzo called.

Mao showed Q♣10♣ for the full house, and that was good enough as Maccatrozzo mucked his hand.

Renji Mao	290,000 245,000	245,000
Luca Maccatrozzo	130,000 64,000	64,000

Ryan Plant: Q♠Q♥ All in
Vojtech Ruzicka: A♠10♣

Plant was on his way to double up on 7♥4♣6♣3♠, but the A♦ river gave the best pair to Ruzicka, ending Plant's tournament.

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Action folded to Arthur Thiriart in the small blind, who raised to 100,000, sufficient to cover the remaining stack of [Removed:546] in the big blind of around 94,000. [Removed:547] quickly got his chips into the middle.

[Removed:546]: J♦J♣ All in
Arthur Thiriart: A♦6♣

[Removed:547] was in great shape with pocket jacks versus a single overcard, and the K♣Q♦9♦Q♥7♠ runout confirmed his double-up.

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Joris Ruijs opened to 10,000 from middle position and was called by Vojtech Ruzicka to his left. Adrian State in the small blind raised all-in for 136,000, and Ruijs quickly called. It took way longer for Ruzicka to make a decision, but he eventually folded.

Adrian State: Q♦10♦ All in
Joris Ruijs: K♣K♦

State flopped a flush draw with the 2♦4♠6♦ flop, but the K♠2♥ runout gave a full house to Ruijs who eliminated State. "You were winning?" asked a player to Ruzicka. "No," he answered, relieved.

Richard Hayes

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Around 43,000 was in the middle on a board of Q♦3♥J♠A♦, and Jon Kyte check-called a pot-sized bet from Daniel Rezaei.

The 6♥ completed the board, and Kyte checked to his opponent. Rezaei took some time to think before firing out a bet of 68,000.

Kyte said "I was expecting more than that", as he pondered his decision. He made the call, and Rezaei tabled A♠J♣ for the turned two pair, causing Kyte to muck.

"What a turn", said Kyte, suggesting he was ahead on the flop.

Player	Chips	Progress
Daniel Rezaei	460,000 360,000	360,000

Level 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Jerry Odeen was getting up out of his chair, after his 10♥9♥ was bested by Patrik Jaros' 10♣8♣ on Q♥J♥9♦A♠Q♦, with Odeen's final 110,000 appearing likely to have gone in on the flop with his pair and flush draw versus Jaros' flopped straight.
