Not What the Doktor Ordered

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Tomasz Doktor
Tomasz Doktor

Tomasz Doktor raised from middle position and Feliciano Rosano three-bet the button to 2,800. Doktor called when the action got back to him.

Doktor knuckled it over to Rosano on the 3♦7♠9♠ flop, and Rosano bet 2,500. Doktor check-raised to 7,000, but that didn't deter Rosano as he called.

The 9♣ landed on the turn and Doktor checked. Rosano shoved, putting Doktor all in for his stack of about 17,200. Doktor took a few moments before making the call.

Tomasz Doktor: 10♠10♣ All in
Feliciano Rosano: J♣J♦

Both players had overpairs, but Doktor was pipped by one and needed to find one of the two remaining tens on the river.

The 6♠ wasn't one of them, sending Doktor to the exit while Rosano climbed to roughly two starting stacks.

Lozano Pineda
Lozano Pineda

Antoine Vranken raised to 800 from under the gun and Julian Pineda Lozano three-bet the hijack to 2,400. Vranken called.

Vranken checked the 4♣A♣10♦ flop and Lozano bet 1,500. Vranken check-raised to 4,500, which Lozano called.

Vranken elected to check the A♠ turn, allowing Lozano to bet 1,500. This time, Vranken just called.

Vranken check-called one last time when the 5♦ completed the board, after Lozano bet 2,700.

Lozano instantly tapped the table and revealed a bluff with Q♣9♣, losing to Vranken's A♥Q♠ for trip aces.

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Sean Jazayeri raised to 1,000 in the cutoff, which Jarkko Suokas and Modar Alsoud both called from the blinds.

Jazayeri continued for 1,500 on a 4♣6♠J♠ flop, which Suokas check-folded to, but Alsoud check-called.

When the 10♦ turn was checked through, Alsoud led out for 3,000 on the 9♣ river, which Jazayeri called. Alsoud tabled J♣8♦, and Jazayeri mucked his cards.

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Sebastian Henao raised to 800 from under the gun, which Kevin MacPhee called on the button, tempting Luka Sorainen in from the big blind.

Both Sorainen and Henao checked to MacPhee on a 4♥2♦6♦ flop, and he bet 1,400. Sorainen folded, but Henao stuck around.

Henao check-called again on the 2♣ turn, this time after MacPhee bet 2,200, but when the 3♣ completed the board, Henao led out for 1,000. MacPhee responded by moving all-in, and Henao folded.

With Antonino Venneri all in on a board of 9♦10♦5♣6♦, Gaetan Balleur bet 5,000 from under the gun and was called by Marcello Miniucchi on the button.

The 6♣ paired the board on the river, causing Balleur to check. Miniucchi bet 5,000, and Balleur made the call.

Venneri showed top pair with J♣10♥ and was out, as Miniucchi revealed A♦5♦ for an ace-high flush. Miniucchi scooped both the main and side pots, while Balleur was forced to show K♦2♦ for an inferior flush.

Harutyunyan Doesn't Get the Help He Needs

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

After some raising back and forth between Tigran Harutyunyan under the gun and Sebastian Schulze on the button, Schulze's stack of 23,200 found its way into the middle, with Harutyunyan trying to send him to the rail.

Sebastian Schulze: K♣K♠ All in
Tigran Harutyunyan: Q♥Q♣

Upon seeing that he was in rough shape, Harutyunyan politely asked the dealer, "I need some help, please."

The dealer wasn't feeling particularly generous, as no queen appeared on the 2♦8♠3♣5♣10♠ runout, sending the majority of Harutyunyan's stack over to Schulze.

Gianfranco Iaculli raised under the gun to 600 and Vahe Martirosyan three-bet from the big blind to 2,700. Iaculli called and both players checked the 8♦4♣5♦ flop.

Martirosyan put out a delayed continuation-bet of 5,600 on the 2♣ turn, which Iaculli called.

When the Q♠ completed the board, Martirosyan tanked for a while before shoving, covering Iaculli. It was now Iaculli's turn to go deep into thought, with the bet putting his remaining 19,000 or so chips at risk.

About three minutes later, Iaculli reluctantly folded and Martirosyan dragged in the pot.

Confusion Sends Wulf to the Rail

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

Oliver Wulf raised to 700 from under the gun, which the player directly to his left called. Giovanni La Padula then inadvertently three-bet from the small blind. Intending to call, the chips he put into the middle were deemed a raise, and he was forced to make it 1,100. Wulf then four-bet to 5,000, which saw the original caller quickly fold.

La Padula then five-bet jammed, having Wulf covered, and after some deliberation, Wulf called, putting his stack of around 17,500 at risk.

Oliver Wulf: A♥6♥ All in
Giovanni La Padula: 7♥7♣

Wulf found some help on the K♦6♦J♣ flop, but it was all over on the 7♦ turn, as La Padula improved to an unassailable set. The A♣ river was irrelevant, despite improving Wulf to two pair, and he headed to the exit.
