Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Rifat Palevic raised from under the gun to 50,000 with A♥9♥ and Tobias Leknes just called on the button with Q♠Q♥.

The flop came 3♥4♠J♠ and Palevic fired 55,000, which Leknes called to the 10♦ turn. Palevic checked this time and Leknes bet 160,000, which was enough to earn him the pot as his opponent folded.

Artus Gimenez raised to 50,000 in the cutoff before Joao Webber three-bet to 150,000 in the small blind. Gimenez then four-bet to 375,000.

Webber came back with a five-bet to 600,000, and Gimenez moved all in for around 1,700,000. Webber took a minute before folding as Gimenez took the big pot without seeing a flop.

At another table, Firoz Mangroe had moved all in for 375,000 from the small blind, and Cesar Garcia called in the big blind.

Firoz Mangroe: K♠9♣ All in
Cesar Garcia: A♦4♠

Mangroe hit two pair on the K♣9♦J♦ flop, and the rest of the board came 7♣2♦ to earn him a double-up.

Jimmy Kebe opened the button to 50,000 with A♠A♣ and Hiroki Karatsu called in the big blind holding 9♠8♠.

Both saw the 2♥9♥A♥ flop hit the felt, and Karatsu checked it over to Kebe, who fired 35,000. Karatsu called to see the J♥ fall on the turn, which put four hearts on the board.

The action checked to the J♦ river, where Karatsu checked. Kebe then fired 250,000 with his full house, and Karatsu quickly folded.

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

David Salituro

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Heads-up on a flop of K♥10♠5♠, Michael Uguccioni bet 80,000 from the button and Hugo Gotuzzo called in middle position.

The turn was the K♣, and Uguccioni bet 200,000. Gotuzzo called once more and checked over to Uguccioni on the 4♥ river, and this time Uguccioni checked back.

Gotuzzo showed A♠9♠ for ace-high, and Uguccioni mucked.
