Sheth Pairs Flop to More Than Double Stack

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

Ravi Sheth pushed 30,000 into the middle, leaving just 10,000 behind in his stack. Ewin Trevidy called in the next seat, then Jon Vallinas isolated with a raise to 100,000. Sheth called for his last few chips and Trevidy folded. Players flipped their cards.

Ravi Sheth: AQ All in
Jon Vallinas: JJ

It was a classic race and Sheth pulled ahead when the flop came 310Q to give him a pair of queens. The turn was the 8 and river the 3. Sheth held and more than doubled his short stack, giving him over 20 big blinds to play with going forward.

Kokhestani Shoves in Four-Bet Pot; Mariani Takes Out Plaza

Level 16 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
José Luis Plaza
José Luis Plaza

Mengshi Tian raised to 10,000 in the cutoff and Khossein Kokhestani three-bet to 37,000 on the button. Romain Locquet then four-bet to 102,000 and only Kokhestani called.

Locquet checked the A108 flop and Kokhestani moved all in for 117,000. Locquet put all of his time bank cards in the middle and burned through three of them before announcing a fold.

At the same time at another table, Jose Plaza had shoved for 60,000 from the small blind and Julien Mariani put him at risk in the big blind.

Jose Plaza: A9 All in
Julien Mariani: AJ

Mariani hit top pair on the J36 flop, and the 9 turn arrived too late to save Plaza as he missed the K river and was sent to the rail.

Volpi Sent to Exit

Following an open-raise for 10,000 from the hijack, Andrea Volpi moved all in from the small blind for 45,000. Milos Petakovic called in the big blind and the original raiser folded. Volpi sighed as the call was made and the two players flipped their cards.

Andrea Volpi: A3 All in
Milos Petakovic: AK

The board ran out 496106 and Volpi picked up a flush draw on the turn. The river missed and Petakovic held with his ace-king high to win the pot, sending Volpi to the exit.

Oie Doesn't Back Down From the Chip Leader

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

Heads-up on a flop of A102, Vidar Oie led out for 23,000 from the big blind and Andreas Goeller called in the hijack.

Oie bet another 45,000 on the 2 turn and Goeller used a few time banks before again calling. The river was the K and Oie bet 91,000, leaving one 1,000 chip behind.

Goeller quickly called this time, but mucked once Oie showed AK for two pair to virtually double up.

Mikael Guenni: J9 All in
Boris Angelov: KK

Angelov showed a pair of kings, but he was far behind Guenni's flopped straight. The 2 turn left Angelov drawing dead, and he paid off the double up once the J completed the board on the river.
