De Rooij Doubles With Full House

Matt Warburton

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Artsiom Lasouski open-raised to 12,000 from middle position and Thomas de Rooij moved all in for 81,000 from late position. The rest of the table folded and Lasouski made the call with the covering stack. Players flipped their cards.

Thomas de Rooij: 5♥5♦ All in
Artsiom Lasouski: A♠Q♥

It was a coinflip situation and the flop ran out A♥5♠7♠ to give Lasouski a pair of aces and de Rooij a set of fives. The turn was the 7♦, which completed de Rooij's full house but also brought Lasaouski a glimmer of hope that he could river an ace for a higher full house.

That didn't happen though, as the river came the Q♣ and de Rooij held to double his stack.

Player	Chips	Progress
Artsiom Lasouski	210,000 50,000	50,000
Thomas de Rooij	176,000 61,000	61,000

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

A pot of around 300,000 had already developed on a board of Q♥5♠J♥2♦8♦ between Ken Oberlieben in the small blind and Robin Zagorski from early position.

On the river, Oberlieben had checked it over to Zagorski, who fired out a chunky bet of 205,000. Oberlieben was thinking it over for quite some time, but eventually tossed in a chip to signify a call.

Zagorski then showed 4♥4♦ for a pair of fours, and Oberlieben revealed the winner holding K♣J♣ for a pair of jacks.

Sebastien Compte opened under the gun to 15,000 with Davor Pistalo calling from middle position and Jeremie Zouari defending out of the big blind.

The A♦A♠5♣ flop got checked to Pistalo and he put out a bet of 11,000. Zouari folded, but Compte called.

The 3♦ turn got checked through for the J♣ to land on the river. Compte led out for 15,000 and was met by a raise to 45,000 from Pistalo. Compte snap-folded and the pot was pushed to Pistalo.

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Action was on the turn on a board of 3♠A♠2♦10♥ with around 300,000 already in the pot. Alessandro Pichierri bet 105,000 and Alexander Ivarsson called.

The river came the 9♠ and Pichierri moved all in for 250,000, sending Ivarsson deep into the tank. After getting the count and using a couple of time bank cards, Ivarsson threw in a chip to make the call.

Ivarsson showed A♣Q♥ for a pair of aces, but Pichierri had A♥10♦ for two pair, aces and tens to win the pot, near doubling his stack to over one million and sending Ivarsson to the rail.

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

The action picked up on the 2♥Q♥9♥ flop, where Pawel Wojciechowski moved all in. The decision was back to Christopher Grantham, who, after using all his available time, flicked a chip into the pot to call.

Christopher Grantham: Q♠J♦ All in
Pawel Wojciechowski: A♦A♠

Grantham wasn’t pleased when he saw his opponent's pocket aces, and with the 3♠ turn and 4♣ river completing the board, he stood up from his chair and exited the tournament.

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Adrian Mack raised to 13,000 from middle position before Sylwia Studniarz three-bet to 30,000 on the button. Inigo Naveiro four-bet shoved from the small blind for 132,000 and only Mack called.

Inigo Naveiro: J♣J♥ All in
Adrian Mack: A♠J♠

Naveiro was a great position to double-up with pocket jacks if he could fade an unfortunate runout.

The 6♠K♥9♠ flop provided Mack with a flush draw, but the 9♦ on the turn meant only a river spade or ace would end Naveiro's Main Event. The 2♠ dropped on the river to give Mack the winner with a flush, sending Naveiro to the rail.

Player	Chips	Progress
Adrian Mack	1,180,000 380,000	380,000
Sylwia Studniarz	825,000 75,000	75,000

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

There were already around 75,000 chips in the pot on a 2♥4♥4♦ flop between Gerard Carbo from under the gun and Georgios Vrakas in the next seat when they both decided to check the flop.

On the Q♣ turn, Carbo checked and Vrakas fired 40,000. After taking some time, Carbo slid forward the chips to call.

A 5♣ dropped on the river and after Carbo checked, Vrakas took his time before he eventually knuckled back.

Carbo then revealed A♦Q♠ for top pair, top kicker, and Vrakas will be glad he checked back the river as he mucked.

The action got heated preflop when Simas Karaliunas opened to 13,000 from the cutoff and got calls from Fabian Bartuschk on the button and Beka Iordanishvili in the small blind.

Sylwia Studniarz checked her cards and announced a three-bet to 61,000 from the big blind. The action returned to Karaliunas, who, after some time, pushed all his chips into the middle for a four-bet all-in of 287,000. Both Bartuschk and Iordanishvili folded, and after using her full 30-second time, Studniarz folded as well.

Level 17 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Marco Leonzio pushed all in from under the gun with a short stack of just 21,000. Maksim Vaskresenski called in middle position, then Pedro Marques made a reraise to 60,000. Vaskresenski folded, leaving two players to turn their cards, with Leonzio at risk.

Marco Leonzio: J♦10♣ All in
Pedro Marques: 10♥10♦

The board ran out 2♣Q♥3♣9♦6♣ and Marques held with his pocket tens, eliminating Leonzio from the event.

Wintersberger check-called a bet of 16,000 from Cekalins on the 2♣10♠9♦ flop.

Wintersberger checked again when the 3♣ fell on the turn. Cekalins fired a second barrel of 60,000, and after burning through a time extension, Wintersberger check-shoved for 240,000. Cekalins snap-folded and Wintersberger won the pot.
