Charlier Takes his Time

Maxime Taldir
Maxime Taldir
Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

After an open to 2,500 by the player under the gun called by Denis Charlier in middle position, Alexander Norden in the hijack three-bet to 9,500. The under-the-gun player folded, but after a very long moment, Charlier called.

The dealer fanned a flop of 3♣4♦5♦ and Norden continued for 8,000. It took another long moment for Charlier to call.

Norden fired a second barrel of 8,500 on the J♦ turn. This time, however, Charlier quickly folded.

In total, this hand lasted almost ten minutes.

Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Pierre Calamusa open-raised to 2,500 from the hijack and Artur Shupa called in the cutoff.

The flop came K♠J♣4♥ and Calamusa continued with a bet of 2,400, which Shupa called. Both players then checked it back on the A♣ turn.

The river was the A♥ and Calamusa fired out a large bet of 20,000. This proved too much for Shupa, who folded to give him the pot.

The action was picked up with around 8,000 in the middle on a flop of Q♠3♣10♣. Carmelo Donato checked from the big blind, Roman Hrabec checked from under the gun, and Lyudmil Ivanov bet 3,000 from middle position. Donato folded, but Hrabec check-raised to 8,000. Ivanov called.

The 5♠ turn got checked through for the 2♦ to come on the river. Hrabec checked again only to face a bet of 17,000 by Ivanov. Hrabec did a bit of inventory before he check-raised all in for 44,800. Ivanov took around two minutes before he reluctantly folded and forfeited the pot to Hrabec.

Bruno Bernardino: A♥10♥

"Hold," Craigie said, with her pair against Bernardino's flush draw. The 3♦ didn't change anything, but the A♠ river gave the best pair to Bernardino, sending Craigie to the rail.
