Runout Disappoints Boulton

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Joshua Boulton moved all-in for 265,000 from middle position and was at risk when Nicolas Chouity called from the button.

Joshua Boulton: K9 All in
Nicolas Chouity: AQ

The 335 flop provided Boulton with a flush draw, but the 3 turn and J river offered no further help, seeing Boulton fall in one of the final few hands of the night.

Chop it Up

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Fabricio Nociolini raised to 60,000 in the hijack, and Grzegorz Kozieja defended from the big blind.

Kozieja knuckled it to Nociolini on the 3AQ flop, and Nociolini fired a continuation-bet of 45,000. Kozieja came along with a call.

The 6 turn checked through, and the 6 came on the river. Kozieja fired 250,000, and Nociolini instantly called.

Kozieja revealed A2 for two pair, aces and sixes, with a queen kicker. Nociolini tabled the same hand with A9, and the two chopped the pot.

Ferrari Drives Himself to Value-Town

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Level 23
Blinds: 10,000/25,000 (25,000)

Sebastian Malec made it 50,000 to go in the cutoff. Manuel Ferrari flat-called on the button, and the duo went heads-up to the A4Q flop. Malec checked to Ferrari before calling his bet of 40,000.

The 9 turn saw both players check, and Malec checked again on the 3 river. Ferrari bet 80,000, which Malec called after some thought.

Ferrari tabled KQ for a pair of queens, but Malec was sitting on top pair with A6 and was awarded the pot.

Chouity Doubles Late in the Day

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Nicolas Chouity
Nicolas Chouity

Nicolas Chouity raised to 60,000 from the cutoff, which Barbara Akemi called on the button. Sebastian Malec then three-bet from the small blind. Chouity responded by moving all-in for 545,000, which shook Akemi out of the pot, but Malec called.

Nicolas Chouity: KK All in
Sebastian Malec: AJ

The 449 offered little for Malec to get excited about, and he was left looking for one of three outs on the 3 turn. The river was instead the 9, and an unimproved Malec cut out his due chips and sent them over to Chouity.

Tekle Mariam Climbs Further

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Level 23
Blinds: 10,000/25,000 (25,000)

On the main feature table, Henok Tekle Mariam raised to 50,000 in early position. Raffael Brum was in the big blind, defending to see the 794 flop. Tekle Mariam tossed in a continuation-bet of 100,000, which Brum check-called.

The 7 turn prompted Brum to take the initiative with a bet of 210,000. Tekle Mariam called after some debate, and the 8 river subsequently completed the board.

After some thought, Brum bet 425,000. Tekle Mariam quickly called with Q10 for a flush, besting Brum's A7 to rake in yet another pot.

Value for Cimbolas

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Fabricio Nociolini limped in from the small blind, and when Matas Cimbolas raised to 105,000 in the big blind, Nociolini called.

Both players checked on the 9A10 flop before the J turn saw Nociolini check-call a delayed continuation-bet of 160,000. The 5 completed the board, and Nociolini check-called once more, this time for 300,000.

Cimbolas tabled A5 for a rivered two pair, and Nociolini mucked his cards.
