Kapeller Makes Marques Fold the River

Kai Cocklin

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Carbo Shows Top Pair as Vrakas Correctly Checks Back River

Kai Cocklin

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.
