Uguccioni Leaves Kerkeni on Fumes

David Salituro

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Around 70,000 was in the pot as Michael Uguccioni and Mohamed Kerkeni went to the turn on a board of 2♦6♠Q♣9♣. Kerkeni then moved all in from the hijack.

Uguccioni was in the big blind with 90,000 behind and took a minute before calling. He showed A♣9♥ for a pair of nines, while Kerkeni was on a straight draw holding K♥J♥.

The 3♦ river was safe for Uguccioni and he doubled up, leaving Kerkeni with less than a big blind.

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Lars Tungel made it 12,000 from early position and then called the 56,000 shove of Ivan Banic, who was seated on the button.

Ivan Banic: 8♠8♣ All in
Lars Tungel: 10♥10♣

Tungel had the higher pair heading to the A♠10♦7♥ flop that gave him a set, and meant Banic needed running cards to survive. Banic was drawing dead once the 3♦ fell on the turn. The J♠ completed the board and Banic headed to the rail, while Tungel was up to around 750,000.
