Pistalo Wins Big Flip Against Stanevicius

Georgios Tavoularis

Level 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Aurimas Stanevicius opened the action to 16,000 and faced an all-in for approximately 250,000 from Davor Pistalo on his direct left. The action folded back to Stanevicius, who made the call.

Davor Pistalo: A♣K♦ All in
Aurimas Stanevicius: 10♥10♦

Pistalo needed to hit something to stay alive in the tournament, and the Q♣7♦A♦ flop greatly increased his chances. The 4♠ turn and K♥ river didn't help Stanevicius, and Pistalo won the pot with his two pair and now has an above-average stack.

Level 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Players at the table folded around to Razvan Gherghe, who moved all in with a short stack of just 35,000, less than five big blinds. Robin Zagorski called in the big blind and players turned their cards.

Razvan Gherghe: A♣10♣ All in
Robin Zagorski: 8♣4♣

It was a monster hand for Gherghe to wake up with given the situation and Zagorski had made a pot odds call with a much weaker hand. The board ran out 6♣2♠A♠Q♥K♣ and Gherghe paired his ace on the flop. He held to win the pot, doubling his stack.

Level 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Sebastien Compte opened the action from the cutoff with a bet of 17,000, and two seats to his left, Denis Charlier moved all in from the small blind for approximately 50,000. Action folded back to Compte, who made the call.

Denis Charlier: A♠A♦ All in
Sebastien Compte: A♥10♦

Charlier was in a great spot to double up in the first hand after the break. The dealer put out the J♥6♥2♥ flop, giving his opponent a flush draw and the K♣ on the turn gave even more outs for Charlier to dodge.

The board completed with the 7♠ on the river, and Charlier's aces held up, securing him the double up.
