Studniarz Wins Late Pot

Matt Warburton

Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Action was on the river on a board of A♣4♣3♠J♣8♦ and Joshua McSwiney fired out a bet worth a couple of hundred thousand. Sylwia Studniarz was giving it some thought before she made the call.

McSwiney had 5♦5♠ for pocket fives that he'd turned into a bluff, while Studniarz had A♥10♠ for a pair of aces to win the pot.

Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Pierre Calamusa opened from early position to 25,000 and his countrymate Sebastian Compte called in the small blind. Cesar Garcia then put in the squeeze out of the big blind to 110,000, and Calamusa shoved for 437,000. Compte quickly folded, and Garcia had a decision to make with his stack of around 850,000.

During his decision-making process, Garcia accidentally revealed his cards to the table, and the floor were briefed on the situation before play was allowed to continue. Eventually, Garcia made the call.

Pierre Calamusa: J♠J♣ All in
Cesar Garcia: 9♥9♦

Calamusa was well ahead with his pocket jacks and remained in the lead after the Q♦3♦8♣ flop. Any chance for Garcia to hit a backdoor draw were eliminated on the 2♣ river, and Calamusa improved to a set on the J♦ river to double up.

"I have to say, it was a good feeling when I saw it," joked Calamusa after the hand, in reference to seeing his opponent's cards.

Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Fabian Bartuschk opened to 25,000 from middle position with Brandon Sheils calling from the small blind, and Enrico Camosci defending out of the big blind.

The three players checked a flop of K♠4♦6♠ to see the 6♦ come on the turn. Sheils bet 36,000 and only Camosci called.

Sheils checked the Q♥ river and then faced a bet of 250,000 from Camosci. Sheils thought for a few moments before he made the call.

Camosci turned over the winner with 6♣5♣ for trip sixes, and the pot was pushed to him.

The action picked up on the turn of a 4♥4♦8♦K♠ board, with both Adrian Mack from the small blind and Pawel Wojciechowski from the big blind involved.

With approximately 400,000 in the middle, Mack checked, and Wojciechowski bet 180,000, which Mack snap-called.

The dealer revealed the 3♣ to complete the board, and Mack checked again. Wojciechowski moved all in, and Mack tossed his chips inside to call.

Pawel Wojciechowski: A♦Ax
Adrian Mack: 4♠2♥

Wojciechowski’s aces were not enough against Mack’s flopped trips. "Let’s f***ing go!" Mack exclaimed, pulling out his phone to "take a picture for the momma."

Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Philip Joyce opened to 25,000 from early position with Lasse Hansen calling on the button before Florian Ribouchon and Adrian Mack called out of the blinds.

The 7♥4♥4♣ flop checked to Hansen and he bet 30,000, which only Ribouchon called from the small blind.

Ribouchon checked the J♦ turn and then snap-folded to a bet of 55,000 by Hansen.

Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Sylwia Studniarz made a raise from the small blind and Kevin Fernandez Ferrer committed himself with a three-bet to 175,000 from the big blind, leaving just 25,000 behind. Studniarz called.

They saw a flop of 6♥9♦3♥ and Studniarz moved all in and Ferrer called off his last 25,000.

Kevin Fernandez Ferrer: A♣7♦ All in
Sylwia Studniarz: K♣Q♣

Ferrer's ace-high was in the lead for now and he added an unnecessary gutshot straight draw on the 5♠ turn. Studniarz needed to find a king or a queen to secure the knockout, but the 9♠ river meant Ferrer doubled up his stack.

Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Razvan Gherghe opened to 35,000 from early position, leaving just 4,000 chips behind. Both Josef Schusteritsch from middle position and Georgios Vrakas from the button called.

The trio saw the 8♦4♣K♣ flop, and all of them checked. The turn brought the 4♠, and Gherghe moved all in for his remaining 4,000 chips. Schusteritsch called, but Vrakas raised to 50,000, forcing Schusteritsch to fold.

Razvan Gherghe: 2♦2♣ All in
Georgios Vrakas: A♥4♥

Gherghe needed a deuce on the river to win against his opponent’s trips, but the river came J♥, and Gherghe was eliminated from the tournament.

Molnar Triples Up, Oie Wins Side Pot from Studniarz

Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Vidar Oie kicked off the action with a raise to 26,000 from the hijack. Sylwia Studniarz called on the button, then Laszlo Molnar moved all in from the big blind for 190,000. Oie shoved over the top for 280,000 and Studniarz went into the tank, then got the counts before flicking in a chip with a smile to make the call. Players turned over their cards, with Molnar at risk and Oie covered by Studniarz.

Laszlo Molnar: 8♣8♠ All in
Vidar Oie: A♥Q♥ All in
Sylwia Studniarz: 8♦7♦

The flop came Q♣9♦10♣ and Oie paired his queen, while Studniarz picked up a straight draw. The turn 8♥ changed everything as Molnar made a set of eights to get ahead and Studniarz lost a few outs. The river was the A♠ and Molnar held with his eights to win the pot, tripling up his stack.

Oie won the side pot with two pair, aces and queens, which saved him from elimination but left him with less than when he started the hand. Studniarz lost the most from the pot, but her stack barely seemed to take a hit as she still had more than 1.3 million to play with.
