Arnault Triples Up

Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

After Olivier Arnault open-shoved for 18,100 from the button, Ehsan Amiri in the small blind three-bet to 40,000. Jacob Amsellem, who was already involved in this hand from the hijack, jammed for 119,000, putting Amiri in a tough spot. He eventually folded what he later said was queens.

Olivier Arnault: J♥J♠ All in
Jacob Amsellem: 8♦8♠

Amiri couldn't believe his eyes when he saw Amsellem's hand and that he would have hit a set on 6♠5♠Q♣3♥J♦ if he had called. "I would be the chip leader," he added, while Arnault was tripling up.

Sylwia Studniarz had three-bet from the small blind, with Roman Stoica calling in the cutoff. Studniarz continued for 6,000 on the 2♠J♠2♣ flop, and Stoica called.

The 9♠ turn and J♣ river were checked to showdown, where Studniarz's A♠10♥ could not win against the 7♠7♥ of Stoica.

The pot was already around 130,000 with the board fully fanned out 3♥K♥8♠5♦7♠. Ferdinand Janssen was all-in first to act for 43,000. Candido Cappiello, slightly shorter, took a long time in the tank before finally making the call.

At showdown, Janssen tabled A♦A♠ for an overpair, while Cappiello had A♥8♥ for a missed flush draw and just a pair of eights. That ended Cappiello’s run, and Janssen stacked a healthy pot to continue in the tournament.

Alexandros Kolonias raised to 2,500 from middle position. Houssem Meftahi, in the hijack, three-bet to 6,600, but Colonies four-bet to 12,000. With his mouth covered by his hood, Meftahi went into the tank and called.

The dealer fanned a flop of A♦4♥Q♥ and Kolonias continued for 3,700. Meftahi called, but folded to Kolonias' second barrel of 10,500 on the 9♦ turn.

Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Three-way to the 10♦5♠9♦ flop, it checked to Alexandre Raymond in early position, who placed a bet of 6,000. Daniel Charlton called in the small blind, as did Andrea Melluzzo in the big blind.

The 7♥ turn was checked by the trio before Charlton bet 12,500 on the 3♥ river. After a quick fold from Melluzzo, Raymond snap-called.

Charlton turned over J♥J♣, taking down the pot as Raymond mucked what he claimed was ace-ten.

The next hand, Raymond made it 2,500 under the gun. Charlton three-bet to 7,500, which Raymond reraised to 17,000. Charlton folded his J♠J♥ face-up, sharing a chuckle with his opponent.

Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

In a pot worth 43,500, Pierre Chevalier moved all in from the big blind on a completed board of 6♠J♠K♣9♣3♠. Alexis Tremblay went deep into the tank on the button, being covered for his stack of 33,100.

The duo engaged in plenty of table talk during the next five minutes, during which Tremblay claimed to have two pair, and Chevalier suggested his opponent should fold such a holding.

Eventually, the clock was called on Tremblay. He let his timer run out, making his hand an automatic fold.

Upon Chris Da-Silva's insistence, Chevalier showed K♥8♥ to the table, a naked top pair, much to the frustration of Tremblay.

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Vladimir Babic opened to 2,600 from the cutoff and was called by Jason Wheeler on the button. Alessandro Pichierri in the small blind raised all in for 10,300. Babic folded, and Wheeler called.

Alessandro Pichierri: A♠8♣ All in
Jason Wheeler: A♣6♣

"Split, please," Wheeler said. They could have split on 4♥Q♥4♦10♦, but Pichierri hit the 8♥ river to double up.
