Jacks Good for Bensadoun

Level 24 : 12,000/24,000, 3,000 ante

[Removed:119] raised to 50,000 and Joao Vieira three-bet the action to 138,000 from the small blind. Action fodled back to Bensadoun in the cutoff and he called immediately. The flop came down {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} and Vieira continued for 131,000. Bensadoun called and the turn brought the {5-Clubs}. Both players checked their option, allowing the {A-Spades} to complete the board.

Two more checks occurred and Vieira rolled over {9-Clubs}{6-Clubs} for aces and nines. They were no good, however, as Bensadoun showed {J-Diamonds}{j-Spades} for aces and jacks. Bensadoun picked up the pot and now has about 1.78 million to Vieira's 1.09 million

Action folded around to [Removed:119] in the small blind and he completed. Kevin Killeen made it 74,000 to go in the big blind and Bensadoun called. The flop came down {A-Spades}{6-Spades}{8-Spades} and Bensadoun check-called a continuation bet of 52,000.

Fourth street was the {A-Diamonds}, pairing the board. Both players checked and the {4-Diamonds} finished off the board. Two more checks allowed Bensadoun to table {J-Spades}{9-Spades} for a flopped flush. Killeen mucked his hand and Bensadoun took down the pot.

Dimov Shorter as Koren Puts Him to the Test

Level 24 : 12,000/24,000, 3,000 ante

Ognyn Dimov raised under the gun to 50,000 and from his left Artur Koren called, and so did Raffaele Sorrentino from the button. The action folded back to Dimov who called as well.

The flop brought out {2-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds}{10-Spades} and Dimov checked to Koren who bet 130,000 and Sorrentino folded right away.

Dimov made the call and on the turn he checked again when the {6-Hearts} popped up. Koren moved all in right away and Dimov had to decide for his final 470,000 chips. Eventually Dimov folded and Koren picked up this pot.

Another Miracle River Keeps Lauck Alive

Level 24 : 12,000/24,000, 3,000 ante

Jonas Lauck hit a miracle river card yesterday to stay alive when he was trailing [Removed:119]'s flopped set, and just now the German hit a set to crack Raffaele Sorrentino's queens.

Lauck raised to 50,000 under the gun plus one and Sorrentino three-bet to 125,000 from the cutoff. The action folded back to Lauck who moved all in for 573,000 and Sorrentino called immediately.

Lauck: {4-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}
Sorrentino: {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}

The board ran out {5-Spades}{2-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{4-Hearts} and Lauck hit a set on the river to stay alive. Lauck sat back down and he now has a very nice stack to continue with as 14 players are still remaining in the EPT London Main Event.
