Cooler Sends Decesare to the Rail

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

Gerard Rubiralta raised from middle position to 10,000 before seeing Shaun Decesare three-bet to 37,000 from the cutoff. Action folded back to Rubiralta, who moved all in for 240,000. Decesare wasn't thrilled with the situation but made the call.

Decesare was the shorter of the two stacks, all in for roughly 130,000.

Shaun Decesare: Q♠Q♦ All in
Gerard Rubiralta: A♠A♥

The board ran out 2♣8♠10♠6♠J♠, and although Decesare made a queen-high flush, Rubiralta held the crucial ace of spades to send his opponent to the rail.

Monika Hrabec open-raised her button, seeing Konstantyn Holskyi defend in the big blind.

Holskyi led out for 10,000 on the 7♦5♣3♣ flop, which Hrabec raised to 37,000. After some thought, Holskyi then moved all in, and Hrabec quickly pushed her stack of 200,000 in the middle to put herself at risk.

Monika Hrabec: K♠K♥ All in
Konstantyn Holskyi: 6♦4♥

Holskyi had flopped the nut straight and left Hrabec drawing dead on the 8♦ turn. Hrabec wished her former opponents good luck as the meaningless J♠ hit the river, finding her way to the payout desk.

Paawan Bansal raised to 10,000 under the gun, and was called by Kenta Miyoshi on the button and Risto Parnat in the big blind.

Bansal continued for 11,000 on the 8♦2♦10♥ flop, which both opponents called. The 32,000 he put in on the K♠ turn folded out Parnat, while Miyoshi called again.

Bansal slowed down on the 3♦ river, checking it over to Miyoshi. The Japanese player slid in a bet of 105,000, to which Parnat folded after spending some time in the tank.

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

The action was joined as David Tous and Nikolai Mamut competed for a pot that had ballooned to 110,000 preflop.

Tous led out for 40,000 from the big blind on the J♠10♠4♥ flop, which Mamut called.

Action checked through on the 9♦ turn, and again on the K♣ river.

Tous flipped over A♦K♥ for a rivered top pair, which was good enough to claim the pot.

Andras Ivacson was all in for 80,000 in the hijack, at risk against big blind Enrico Camosci.

Andras Ivacson: A♣J♦ All in
Enrico Camosci: A♦Q♦

Ivacson was open-ended after the 8♣9♠10♥ flop, while the A♠ turn made both players a pair. The 3♣ river changed nothing, however, kicking Ivacson out with his outkicked ace.

Camosci, meanwhile, ended the hand with double the chips he had started the day with.
