Sitbon In Timebank Jail

Georgios Tavoularis

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

Julien Sitbon opened the action from middle position to 14,000 and faced an all-in from Kimmo Kurko.

Sitbon asked for the exact count to buy himself some extra time to think, and the all-in was for 167,000. "You know I only have 30 seconds to think," he said to his opponent, as he had no timebank cards left.

The timer hit zero, and Sitbon announced, "Hand is dead," before tossing his cards into the muck.

Sandor Gyorffy opened from early position to 12,000 and Roberto Ghidini called from the big blind.

They went to a flop of K♥9♦Q♦ where Ghidini check-called a bet of 10,000 to see the 8♣ river, which checked through.

A K♦ landed on the river, which again went check-check, and Gyorffy took down the pot with J♠J♥.

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

Enrico Camosci raised to 12,000 from middle position and Kevin Hasler three-bet to 36,000 from the button. Camosci then four-bet to 80,000 and Hasler called.

The flop ran out 10♠5♥8♠ and Hasler led by shoving all in for around 200,000. Camosci quickly made the call and players turned their cards.

Kevin Hasler: A♠K♠ All in
Enrico Camosci: A♣A♥

Hasler had the nut flush draw, but his overcards were dead to Camosci's aces. The turn came the 4♥ and both players stood up. The river came the 10♥ and Camosci held to win the pot, chipping up to around 700,000 and sending Hasler to the exit.

"Worst flop ever," said Hasler as he left the table.

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

Georgi Sandev committed his last 48,000 across the betting line from the hijack and was called by Tom Cohen on the button.

Georgi Sandev: 10♠9♠ All in
Tom Cohen: K♦Q♥

Sandev needed some help from the dealer if he was to survive. He got it on the 10♣A♠3♠ flop as he took the lead having paired his ten. The Q♠ came on the turn to give Sandev a flush. Cohen was drawing dead as an inconsequential 4♣ fell on the river and the pot was pushed to Sandev.

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

Alessandro Pichierri opened the action with a min-raise, and Darko Percic moved all-in. Pichierri called.

Darko Percic: A♣K♦ All in
Alessandro Pichierri: A♦10♣

Percic was in great shape to double up, and his chances improved even more when the 3♠K♠8♥ flop hit the table. The dealer then put the 10♠ on the turn, giving a small glimpse of hope to Pichierri, but the 8♦ on the river sealed the deal, and Percic secured the double up, staying alive in the tournament.

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

With around 35,000 chips in the middle on a Q♦10♣9♣ flop, Siegfried Kapeller checked from the big blind and Pedro Marques fired 24,000 from the hijack. Kapeller called.

A 6♥ on the turn checked around to the A♠ river, where Kapeller used some extra time before he fired out a bet of 51,000. Marques was thinking it over and with a few seconds left on his countdown, he slid his cards into the middle and surrendered the pot.

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

Gianfranco Iaculli opened the action with a raise to 12,000 from under the gun, and Gianas Rege put out a three-bet to 35,000, leaving a blue 5,000-chip behind. When the action folded back to Iaculli, he moved a pile of blue chips in the middle to put his opponent all-in.

With just two players away from a pay jump, Rege was ready to use all four of his remaining timebank cards. When he used his third timebank card, a player was eliminated at another table, but there was no other elimination, and Rege called at the last second.

Gianas Rege: A♣K♦ All in
Gianfranco Iaculli: 4♥4♦

Rege did not manage to get the pay jump or win the flip, as the full board ran out 5♦9♦6♣8♠2♣, and he exited the tournament.

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

Lyudmil Ivanov opened the hijack to 12,000 with Adrian Mack calling on the button, and Fabian Bartuschk defending out of the big blind.

Ivanov continued with a bet of 11,000 on the 2♦3♦5♦ flop, which only Mack called.

The two players checked the 10♣ turn to see the 4♦ hit the river. Ivanov checked and Mack fired a small bet of roughly 13,000. Ivanov instantly folded and Mack pulled in the pot.

Adrian Mack	800,000 40,000	40,000

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

Following an open-raise to 12,000 from middle position, Thomas Clack three-bet to 55,000, leaving around 40,000 behind. Pedro Marques then pushed in a stack of blues worth around 110,000. The original raiser folded and Clack used two time bank cards before making the call. Clack was at risk as players turned their cards.

Thomas Clack: A♠Q♦ All in
Pedro Marques: K♥K♣

The board ran out 10♦7♣4♦3♣5♠ and Marques held with his pocket kings to win the pot, sending Clack to the rail shortly after the first break of the day.

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

Philip Joyce opened from early position to 12,000 and Eduard Rau three-bet the small blind to 33,000. When it got back to Joyce, he asked his opponent how much he started the hand with.

"I started with 141,000," said Rau.

Joyce then made the minimum four-bet to 54,000, which gave Rau a decision. After thinking it over, Rau elected to fold, and Joyce scooped in the chips.
