Hero-Call Spells End for Carvalho

Frank Visser

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Giuseppe Calio opened to 4,000 in the cutoff. It folded to Manuel Carvalho, who upped the ante to 20,000 in the big blind. Calio called, and the 10♦5♠8♦ flop was spread.

Carvalho continued for 13,000, seeing Calio call again. He sized up to 21,000 on the K♠ turn, and another call followed from Calio.

He then opted for a bet of 18,000 on the 2♠ river. Calio put him all-in for 74,000 in total, and Carvalho called off after spending a time bank.

Calio tabled K♥10♥ for two pair. Carvahlo tapped the table and departed the tournament area as he turned over Q♠Q♥ for a pair of queens.

Calio Set Too Much for Sitbon

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

With 15,000 in the pot and a monotone 8♦J♦3♦ flop face up on the felt, the action was on Giuseppe Calio, who bet 3,500. Julien Sitbon responded by moving all in for 17,000, which Calio called.

Julien Sitbon: J♠10♠ All in
Giuseppe Calio: 8♠8♥

Sitbon required running cards to keep his Main Event run alive, but the K♠ turn was unforthcoming.

The board was completed by the 6♠, and, as Sitbon left the area, Calio absorbed his opponent's stack into his own.

Piekazewicz Doubles to Six-Figure Stack

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Ravi Sheth opened to 4,000 in the hijack, and Felipe Ketzer called on the button. It then folded to Alisson Piekazewicz in the big blind, who moved all in for 48,500.

Sheth quickly folded, but Ketzer reluctantly called after requesting a count. "Good luck in the 50K," he jokingly told Piekazewicz as he put in the chips.

Alisson Piekazewicz: K♦J♦ All in
Felipe Ketzer: 8♠8♥

Piekazewicz shot ahead in the flip on the J♥9♦7♦ flop, and improved to a flush on the 8♦ turn. The 3♥ river was meaningless, and Piekazewicz was awarded the pot.

"You should never call against someone who doesn't care about the money," he laughed as he raked in the chips.

Huberman Hauls Four-Bet Pot

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

Fabiano Cappelli opened to 3,500 in the hijack, and Joan Moragues three-bet to 12,000 on the button. Big blind Alon Huberman then upped the ante to 22,500, folding out Cappelli.

Moragues was interested in a flop and called, and did so too when Huberman continued for 10,000 on the Q♥K♥6♥ flop. Huberman doubled his bet to 20,000 on the 8♣ turn, seeing Moragues call for a second time.

Huberman then moved all in for roughly 60,000 on the 7♥ river. This move won him the pot, as Moragues let go of his cards to give up on the pot.

O'Driscoll Wins with Little Resistance

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

Henry Strasser opened to 3,000 in middle position, which faced immediate resistance as one seat to his left, Conor O'Driscoll, three-bet to 9,000. The action folded back to Strasser, who called.

The dealer spread a 10♥10♠9♥ flop, and a continuation bet of 6,000 was enough to claim the pot for O'Driscoll, as Strasser returned his cards to the dealer.
