Foggin Fills Up to Crack Pleticha's Kings

David Salituro

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Tomas Pleticha raised to 3,000 in the hijack and Marc Foggin called in the cutoff. Anton Siden then three-bet to 13,000 in the small blind, and both opponents called.

The flop came 9♠7♣2♠ and Siden led out for 12,000. Pleticha called, but Foggin moved all in for 74,000. Siden took a few seconds before folding, while Pleticha quickly called off his last 40,000.

Tomas Pleticha: K♠K♦ All in
Marc Foggin: 7♦7♥

Pleticha showed two kings, but Foggin had taken the lead with a flopped set of sevens. The Q♣ fell on the turn, while the 9♣ river improved Foggin to a full house and sent Pleticha to the rail.

Aliaksandr Shylko raised to 3,000 in early position before Nikolaos Mouroutis three-bet to 12,000 in the small blind. Shylko then moved all in for 57,500, and Mouroutis snap-called.

Aliaksandr Shylko: K♠K♦ All in
Nikolaos Mouroutis: A♣K♣

Shylko found the last king in the deck on the 4♦9♠K♥ flop to improve to top set, while the A♥ turn arrived too late for Mouroutis to score the knockout. The river was the Q♥ and Shylko doubled up.

Shraga Vrubel opened to 1,500 from under the gun and Natan Chauskin three-bet to 6,000 from the cutoff. Vrubel called and the players went to the flop.

The 5♠6♦4♠ prompted Vrubel to bet out 12,500 which was enough for Chauskin to muck.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Fabrizio Nuetzel and Nicolas Chouity went to the turn on a board of 10♦J♦6♦2♥ when Nuetzel bet 22,500 from the button. Chouity called in the cutoff.

The river was the 10♠ and Chouity checked to Nuetzel, who took several minutes before the clock was called. He then moved all in for 66,500, and Chouity also tanked for a few minutes until folding.

At another table, Vincent Meli and Luigi Pignataro built a pot of around 30,000 going to the 7♣Q♠6♣ flop when Pignataro bet 4,500 from the button. Meli called in the hijack.

Both players checked the 4♥ turn before Meli led out for 10,000 on the 3♥ river. Pignataro then raised to 29,500, and Meli tanked for a minute before folding.

Aleksandr Shevliakov opened to 3,000 from the cutoff, Dmitry Lineburg called from the small blind, and Roman Stoica defended from the big blind.

All three players checked the 9♥8♦6♦ flop, leading to the 4♦ turn. Linebug bet 3,500, Stoica folded, Shevliakov raised to 8,000, and Lineburg called.

The two remaining players checked the J♣ river. Lineburg tabled J♥10♦ for a rivered top pair which was good at showdown to win the hand.

In a preflop confrontation, Arunas Sapitavicius was all-in from the cutoff for 28,000 and up against the covering stack of Julien Sitbon in the big blind.

Arunas Sapitavicius: 8♣8♦ All in
Julien Sitbon: A♣K♣

"You call with no pair?" Sapitavicius jokingly asked his opponent.

"Not yet" Sitbon replied.

Sitbon did not connect with his overcards on the 5♠6♣10♥2♦4♦ runout, and Sapitavicius doubled up at his expense.

A K♦ river saw Hoerwing bet 4,000. Kock raised to 20,000 and Hoerwing mucked, taking a tumble just a few hands into the start of the day.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Juho Suutari raised to 3,000 in middle position and Maciej Gut called in the hijack. Ronald Steinmetz then three-bet to 10,000 on the button, and Suutari moved all in for 41,000. Gut folded, but Steinmetz quickly called to put Suutari at risk.

Juho Suutari: J♣J♦ All in
Ronald Steinmetz: 10♠10♦

Steinmetz let out a sigh when he found out his tens were dominated by Suutari's jacks. The board ran out 8♦6♠3♣4♦9♣ and Suutari, one of the late entries at the start of the day, doubled up.
