Wilson fired a second barrel of 900 on the K♠ turn, but Rodriguez raised to 3,000. Wilson called to find the 9♣ river where he led out for 3,300.

Rodriguez called but lost to Wilson's flush with J♣7♣.

Level 1 : Blinds 100/100, 100 ante

David Taieb raised to 300 in early position before Cristian Garcia three-bet to 1,000 in the big blind. Taieb then four-bet to 3,800 and Garcia called.

Garcia announced a bet of 3,000 on the 5♠2♦K♥ flop without realizing that Taieb had already bet 6,000. A tournament official and interpreter had to be called over to tell Garcia, who didn't speak much English, that he was forced to call Taieb's bet.

Both players checked the K♠ turn before Garcia moved all in for 16,900 on the 8♣ river. Taieb agonized over the decision for several minutes, picking up the chips to call and lowering his head towards the table before putting them in the middle.

Garcia turned over A♦7♦ for a bluff, while Taieb showed A♣A♥ to win the pot and send Garcia to the rail.

Level 1 : Blinds 100/100, 100 ante

A full board of Q♦3♠K♣4♦4♠ was out with around 12,000 in the middle when Alejandro Arias checked from the cutoff. Andreas Antoniou was on the button and took some time before he announced a bet of 9,000.

Arias was in the tank for around a minute and flicked in the call, then showed A♠Q♣ for a pair of queens. That was good for the pot as Antoniou mucked.

Shortly after, Antoniou was seen leaving his seat and was eliminated.

Alexej Macht was in middle position with a raise of 1,100 in front of him before Pablo Redrado reraised to 3,600 in the small blind. Macht called and they went heads-up to the 10♥8♥4♠ flop.

Redrado then continued for 2,500, and Macht came back with a raise to 6,500. Redrado called and the K♣ fell on the turn.

Macht bet another 8,500, but this time Redrado moved all in for 16,500. Macht took around a minute before folding and Redrado took down the pot.

Level 1 : Blinds 100/100, 100 ante

Jose Aller Rodriguez made it 300 to go from under the gun and Markus Thimm three-bet to 800 from middle position. Zvi Davidovich cold-called from the small blind, and Rodriguez also called.

The flop came 10♥4♠J♠ and when it checked to Thimm, he fired 1,500. Davidovich called and Rodriguez folded.

On the J♦ turn, Davidovich checked it over again, and then called a bet of 4,000 from Thimm to see the A♥ drop on the river. Davidovich switched up his strategy and decided to lead for 5,600, which sent Thimm into the tank.

Around two minutes passed before Thimm finally decided to release his hand, and Davidovich raked in the pot.

Around 10,000 was in the pot as Mehdi Rebai and Shakhabiddin Muradov went to the turn on a board of 7♠7♦4♦10♦. Rebai then bet 3,200 from the big blind and Muradov called in the hijack.

The river was the 7♥ and Rebai moved all in for 12,300. Muradov spent several minutes in the tank but eventually slid his cards into the muck as Rebai took down the pot.

While Antoine Saout and Simon Wiciak were taking their seats at the table, Chakib Bennani raised from the button but Selim Amghar in the small blind three-bet to 1,200. The big blind folded and Bennani four-bet to 3,600. Amghar called.

The dealer fanned a flop of 9♥7♥8♠ and after Amghar checked, Bennani bet 3,500. Amghar went into the tank and folded A♣K♠ face up.

A few hands after this one, Amghar was already eliminated like three other players before him.

Sarsgyan Gets Away Cheaply

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Kai Cocklin

Level 1 : Blinds 100/100, 100 ante

A pot of around 4,000 had been build on a 10♣8♥7♣4♥Q♠ board when Gianluca Lista had a bet of 2,200 out in front of him. Aram Sargsyan then put in a raise to 5,600, and Lista took some time before he called.

Sargsyan showed a set of sevens with 7♥7♦, but that was no good as Lista had rivered a bigger set with Q♥Q♣.
