Boubli Back Doors Into a Straight

Frank Op de Woerd

Level 7 : 250/500, 50 ante

We're not completely sure what just happened, but as we arrived the pot was already sizable and the board completely out: .

Milan Tomasz Rabsz from Poland had 3,100 in front of him, but was apparently check raised to 6,300 by Boubli in the big blind.

Rabsz thought for some time, before eventually saying "Ok, I call" without physically committing the extra chips just yet.

He soon had to though. Boubli showed and Rabsz mucked.

Lecomte Comes Short

Level 7 : 250/500, 50 ante

Quentin Lecomte, who's on the cover of the French poker magazine 'Poker52's latest issue, has been eliminated from the tournament.

We asked former table mate Jonathan Little if he knew what happened. And wouldn't you know it, we were once again talking to the guy responsible for the knock out we were inquiring about.

Little told us that his left neighbor had opened under the gun for 1,100, and that Lecompte had shoved all in for 8,400 in late position. Little woke up with queens in the big blind and made the call, the player under the gun folded.

Lecomte had jacks and came up short, no miracle for the French poker player on flop, turn or river.

Level 7 : 250/500, 50 ante

Jonathan little opened for 1,200 and faced a three-bet to 3,200 from Mindaugas Jonuskis in the cut-off. The other players folded and Jonuskis made a little jokey comment and grinned at Little who sat stony faced before throwing out a four-bet to 8,200.

The grin on Jonuskis’s face disappeared and after a short time he glanced back at his cards before indicating that he wanted to have a better look at Little’s stack. He quickly obliged, folding his arms on the edge of the table. Seeing there was just over 30,000 sitting there Jonuskis gave it a few more moments before mucking.

After the next hand was over Little had his ever-present notebook out and the action was duly recorded for future reference.
