Sava Krink

Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

PokerNews witnessed a tough stretch for Jeremie Zouari, who found himself on the losing end of two sizable pots.

The first came when Zouari, in early position, faced off against Vidar Oie on the button. With around 85,000 already in the pot and the board showing 6♥10♦8♣5♠3♥, Zouari checked, and Oie responded with a massive 80,000-chip bet. Zouari quickly called, but Oie revealed Q♣Q♦ for an overpair, while Zouari's cards were swiftly discarded into the muck.

A few hands later, Zouari was back in action from the big blind with an 11,000 bet after the pot stood at around 20,000 and the flop showed 6♦8♠4♥. Both Clement Poletti and Christopher Grantham called.

On the 6♣ turn, Zouari led out with another 19,500 bet, but only Poletti called.

As the 2♦ fell on the river, Zouari checked, and Poletti checked back. Zouari showed 10♠7♦ for a gutshot straight draw, but Poletti had the winning hand with 10♥8♥, two pair of eights and sixes, securing the pot and leaving Zouari reeling after two tough hands.

Player	Chips	Progress
Clement Poletti	352,000 52,000	52,000
Jeremie Zouari	273,000 73,000	73,000
Christopher Grantham	50,000 134,000	134,000
Vidar Oie	35,500 198,500	198,500

Dan O'Hair

Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Renji Mao opened to 5,000 first to act and just behind him, Bogdan Munteanu three-bet to 15,000. Action folded back around to Mao, who counted out his stack before sticking in a call.

Mao check-called a 13,000 bet from Munteanu on the 6♣Q♠7♣ flop and then check-shoved for 56,500 after Munteanu bet 21,000 on the 7♠ turn.

Munteanu tanked for some time, but eventually called to put Mao at risk.

Renji Mao: K♥Q♥ All in
Bogdan Munteanu: A♠8♠

Mao was well ahead with his queen, and the 8♣ river kept Mao best to award him the double up.

Player	Chips	Progress
Bogdan Munteanu	190,000 95,000	95,000
Renji Mao	170,000 121,500	121,500

Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Pascal Pflock opened from early position with a min-raise to 5,000, and only Max Neugebauer called from the big blind.

Neugebauer checked the 5♦3♣8♥ flop and faced a bet of 4,500 from Pflock. Neugebauer thought for a while before he check-raised to 16,000. Pflock didn't take long to three-bet jam for around 60,000 and Neugebauer snap-folded.

Player	Chips	Progress
Max Neugebauer	270,000 55,000	55,000
