Set Over Set Busts Talbot

Georgios Tavoularis

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

The trio of Parker Talbot, Mohamed Ameur Hammi, and Marco Di Persio all checked the J♥2♥9♥ flop.

The dealer put out the 4♣ on the turn, and Talbot led out for 1,200. Hammi folded, and Persio raised to 5,100, which was enough to put his opponent all in. Talbot snap-called.

Parker Talbot: 2♠2♦ All in
Marco Di Persio: 4♥4♠

Talbot’s flopped set fell short against the set that Persio hit on the turn, and the 3♠ completed the board, sending Talbot to the rail.

Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

Benjamin Spragg opened to 1,100 from early position and received a call from Lucia Navarro in the big blind.

Navarro checked the J♠8♣K♥ flop, and Spragg continued with a bet of 1,400, which Navarro called. The dealer revealed the 3♥ on the turn, and Navarro check-called again, this time a bet of 5,500.

With the 4♣ completing the board, Navarro checked a third time, and Spragg pushed all his chips in the middle and Navarro quickly called.

Spragg showed A♦2♦ and was beaten by Navarro’s two pair with J♦3♦. He was left with just 200 chips and was eliminated on the next hand.

Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

Renata Onodyova opened to 1,100 from middle position and was called by Emmanouil Zografakis in the cutoff and Kevin Hasler in the big blind for a three-way pot.

Hasler checked to Onodyova, who continued for 1,700 on the 9♣8♠Q♠ flop. Zografakis then shoved for approximately 20,000 total, which got a quick fold from Hasler and a call from Onodyova after a lengthy tank to put Zografakis at risk.

Emmanouil Zografakis: 9♦8♦ All in
Renata Onodyova: K♥K♣

Zografakis was a favorite to double and remained that way on the 4♣ turn; however, the K♠ river left Onodyova best with a set of kings and Zografakis was eliminated.

Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

Valeriano Toledano Moreno raised to 1,000 from under the gun, Sven Stok three-bet to 2,500, from the cutoff, and Kazuhiko Yotsushika cold called, on the button. Moreno also called.

The 8♥5♦3♦ flop saw the action check to Stok, who continued for 3,000. Yotsushika called and Moreno stepped aside.

The 4♥ turn saw Stok slow down with a check. Yotsushika took the lead for 5,500 and Stok moved all in. Yotsushika called off for his effective stack of 17,000.

Kazuhiko Yotsushika: A♥4♣ All in
Sven Stok: K♣K♦

The 10♦ river couldn't crack Stock's kings and Yotsushika was sent to the rail.

Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

There was a preflop all in between Cory Desmond and Oliver Weis at Table 71.

Cory Desmond: J♠J♣ All in
Oliver Weis: 5♦5♥

Desmond was a strong favorite to double up, but the 5♣8♦9♠ flop gave Weis a commanding lead with a set. The 7♦ turn offered Desmond some chop possibilities, but the 8♠ on the river sealed the hand with a full house for Weis, sending Desmond out of the tournament.

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

The pot had already grown to around 21,200 with two players looking at a board of 9♦5♠10♣2♠.

Vidar Oie, in the small blind, moved all in. Kevin Killeen, in early positon, snap-called for his effective stack of 21,000.

Kevin Killeen: 10♦10♥ All in
Vidar Oie: 8♠7♠

Killeen held the nuts, but Oie had a monster draw. The 3♠ turn completed Oie's flush and Killeen was sent to the rail.

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Action was on the flop on a board of 5♠K♣10♣ and Michal Mrakes was all in with a short stack against Johannes Verhagen, who had him well covered as the cards were revealed.

Mrakes had J♥10♥ for a pair of tens, but Verghagen turned over K♦Q♣ for a pair of kings.

The turn came the 3♥ and river the 6♥, so Verghagen held to win the pot, sending Mrakes to the exit.

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Wissam Ouertani was already all-in for around 4,000 and was competing for the main pot of around 13,000 on the 10♥3♠4♣A♥ board. There was a side pot of 10,000 between Patrik Jaros and Isabella Lemoscosta, which didn't get added to on the turn as both checked.

When the A♠ completed the board, Lemoscosta checked and Jaros fired 10,000 from the button. After a short time thinking, Lemoscosta called.

Jaros showed Q♠Q♦, Ouertani tabled 10♠7♠, and Lemoscosta flipped 8♦8♠. In the end, Jaros won both pots with his pocket queens, which meant Ouertani was eliminated.

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Lander Lijo raised to 1,200 from middle position and picked up a call before Fabio Peluso three-bet to 5,000 from the button. It was back on Lijo and he put in a four-bet to 11,800, which only Peluso called.

The flop came 5♦9♦10♥ and Lijo continued with a bet of 6,700. Peluso called and the hand went to the turn.

On the 3♠ turn, Lijo moved all in for the rest of his opponent's stack. Peluso counted out his own chips and went deep into the tank. Cristian Veres, sitting in seat four, had eaten nearly a full bowl of pistachios before Peluso made the call.

Peluso had J♠J♥ for a pair of jacks, but Lijo turned over K♠K♥ for a pair of kings. The river was a blank, the 7♥, so Lijo held to win the pot, eliminating Peluso from the tournament.

Jorstad Eliminates Hu

Dan O'Hair

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Espen Jorstad raised to 1,400 on the button and was called by Thomas Hueber in the small blind. David Hu then shoved for a bit over 10,000 from the big blind and Jorstad shoved as well for more. Hueber got out of the way and a showdown was held.

David Hu: A♥J♠ All in
Espen Jorstad: K♥K♣

Hu would need some help, but the 10♣6♠6♣6♦K♦ runout needlessly improved Jorstad to a full house for the knockout.
