Simon Wiciak: J9

Late Night Gift for Pidhrusnyi

Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Vasyl Pidhrusnyi raised to 25,000 from early position, and when the action folded to Alexander Luciani in the small blind, he three-bet to 61,000. Pidhrusnyi responded with a four-bet to 125,000, and Luciani called.

The J73 flop saw Luciani check-call when Pidhrusnyi continuation-bet for 55,000. Luciani checked again on the 3 turn, and Pidhrusnyi bet 195,000, leaving just 10,000 behind the betting line. Luciani gave it some thought before moving all in, asking Pidhrusnyi to put his last few chips into the middle. Pidhrusnyi was more than happy to oblige, calling immediately.

Vasyl Pidhrusnyi: KK All in
Alexander Luciani: A10

Luciani was drawing to just three outs, none of which appeared on the 6 river, ensuring Pidhrusnyi got full value for his pocket kings.

Mark Teltscher: AK All in
Nazar Buhaiov: 1010

Nociolini on Heaps as Skiscim Blasts Off in Four-Bet Pot

Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Jacek Skiscim raised to 25,000 under the gun. Fabricio Nociolini responded with a three-bet to 70,000 in the hijack, which Skiscim reraised to 215,000. Nociolini called, and a 5J2 flop was dealt.

Skiscim tossed in a continuation-bet of 85,000. Nociolini called again, after which the Q turn was checked through.

The river fell the 10. Skiscim promptly moved in his stack of 335,000. Nociolini requested a count, but he did not need to hear the final number before deciding to call.

Skiscim sighed as he revealed A8 for a stone-cold bluff. Nociolini tabled QQ for top set, sending Skiscim to the exit and raking in the seven-figure pot.

Ferrari Jams on Lee; Criado in Distress

Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Manuel Ferrari
Manuel Ferrari

Manuel Ferrari raised to 24,000 from early position and Min-Sung Lee defended from the big blind.

Lee checked on the 9610 flop and Ferrari continued for 28,000. Lee check-raised to 62,000, and after burning through a few time banks, Ferrari went for a jam.

Lee had the effective stack with 197,000, and after peeking back at his cards one last time, he decided against it and tossed them into the muck.

At a nearby table, there was plenty of commotion and groans of distress. It all came from Jose Criado, who had suffered one of poker's more frustrating problems after receiving a walk with AA.

Antonio Asaro: KK All in
Antoine Labat: 77

Asaro had the bigger pair and needed to dodge a seven to double up.

Labat hit the crossbar twice on the 6J289 runout, missing his two-outer seven and losing a chunk of his stack to Asaro's kings.

Bueno Doubles Against Quintas as Teltscher Misses Out on Big Side Pot

Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Mark Teltscher opened to 25,000 in the hijack. Claudia Bueno quickly pushed in her final 143,000 in the cutoff, and Jose Quintas reshoved in the big blind. Teltscher was put at risk for 555,000, but he let his hand go after some thought.

Claudia Bueno: Q10 All in
Jose Quintas: JJ

Bueno outflopped Quintas on 79Q and improved to a full house on the Q10 runout to secure her double-up. Teltscher, meanwhile, pointed to the nine on the board, claiming he had folded pocket nines.

Dwyer Rivers Showdown Value; Jarry Forces Sandvik Out

Level 20 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Sarah Jarry
Sarah Jarry

With a board dealt to a 3A44 turn, and roughly 160,000 in the pot, Matas Cimbolas checked from early position to Michael Dwyer in the cutoff. Dwyer bet 75,000, and Cimbolas called. The river brought the Q, and this time, when Cimbolas checked again, Dwyer checked behind, tabling KQ as he did. Unable to beat that, Cimbolas mucked his cards.

One table over, Sarah Jarry opened to 25,000 from early position, and one seat to her immediate left, Espen Sandvik, three-bet to 65,000. When the action folded back to Jarry, she four-bet to 175,000. Sandvik waved the white flag and returned his cards to the dealer.
