Lahmani Cracks Mestre's Queens to Double Again

Level 27 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Oshri Lahmani
Oshri Lahmani

Oshri Lahmani pushed all in in the cutoff for 620,000. It folded to Raul Mestre in the big blind, who instantly called.

Oshri Lahmani: A♣10♠ All in
Raul Mestre: Q♥Q♦

Lahmani immediately flopped an ace on 9♦7♥A♥ to take a big lead. The 8♦ turn was no help to Mestre, and neither was the 3♠ river. Lahmani raked in another double-up as his comeback story continued.

Mestre Fires Three Streets

Level 27 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

First to act, Raul Mestre opened to 125,000 holding 7♥7♣, and only Xavier Cortazar called in the big blind with A♠J♠.

The dealer spread a 2♣7♠6♣ flop, and when Cortazar checked, Mestre continued for 125,000, which Cortazar called.

The 3♠ turn joined the board, and Cortazar checked a second time. Mestre didn't slow down, betting 450,000. Once again, Cortazar called.

Cortazar checked for a third time on the 4♥ river, left with just ace-high, and Mestre moved all in, having a covering stack. Cortazar didn't entertain the bet, though, and returned his cards to the dealer.

Rizov Dives Under Seven Figures

Level 27 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Samuel Ju raised his button to 125,000. Miroslav Rizov defended his big blind and check-called when Ju continued for 175,000 on the 2♦9♣Q♥ flop.

The 2♠ turn was checked by both players, leading to the 8♠ appearing on the river. Rizov checked again, prompting Ju to fire a bet of 330,000 into the pot.

Rizov quickly called, but his 9♠7♥ was no match against the Q♠J♥ of Ju, who dragged the pot with top pair.

Djian Overtakes Stoica

Level 27 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

David Djian raised to 120,000 from the hijack, and only Roman Stoica called on the button.

On a 2♦8♣7♠ flop, Djian continued for 115,000. Stoica called, and both players then checked on the 4♣ turn.

Djian checked again on the 10♥ river, but snap-called when Stoica bet 380,000.

Stoica tabled A♠J♥, which was unable to beat Djian's J♣J♦.

Djian Gets Binder Out

Level 27 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Small blind Bernhard Binder raised to 180,000. David Djian called in the big blind before the players checked through the 5♥9♦10♠ flop and 5♠ turn.

Binder then bet 105,000 on the 2♦ river, only to be raised to 325,000 by Djian. Binder used one of his time banks, then folded his hand to forfeit the pot.

Mestre Squeezes River Value

Level 26 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Play folded around to Raul Mestre in the small blind, who limped in, and Leonard Maue checked in the big blind.

Mestre check-called a 50,000 bet on the 7♥A♣6♣ flop, and both players checked on the K♦ turn.

The 6♠ completed the board, and Mestre led out for 100,000. Maue opted to call and mucked his Q♣2♦ when Mestre flipped over A♥2♣.

Jose Malpelli opened to 100,000 from the hijack, and Longmao Fan called on the button. In the small blind, Jason Wheeler then inquired about Malpelli's stack. Happy with the answer he received, he moved all in for 1,055,000. Malpelli wasted no time moving all in as well, a bet worth roughly 1,700,000. Fan folded, and the cards were revealed.

Jason Wheeler: 9♠9♥ All in
Jose Malpelli: K♥K♣

Wheeler needed help fast, but the A♦6♥6♠4♥5♣ board was unforthcoming, seeing his deep run end in 12th place.

Lahmani Finds Quick Double

Level 26 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Raul Mestre pushed in a raise to 100,000 in the cutoff. It folded to the short-stacked Oshri Lahmani in the big blind, who called.

Lahmani then pushed in his 250,000 remaining stack on the 8♠3♥4♥ board, and Mestre looked him up after some deliberation.

Oshri Lahmani: 4♠3♠ All in
Raul Mestre: A♣7♠

The deck had no sweat in store for Lahmani, as the 10♥ turn meant he secured his double-up. Mestre paid the required chips after the A♠ river had been dealt, and play continued on the feature table.
