Bertilsson Scoops Massive pot with Back Door Straight

Level 27 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante
Anton Bertilsson
Anton Bertilsson

Remi Castaignon limped from the small blind and Anton Bertilsson raised to 140,000 in the last hand of the level. On the {10-Clubs} {8-Clubs} {3-Spades} flop, the Frenchman check-called a bet of 130,000 and repeated the same on the {6-Diamonds} turn for 240,000. Castaignon also checked the {4-Clubs} river and Bertilsson made a huge bet for 630,000.

Castaignon was sent deep into the think tank, staring at his opponent for minutes. Bertilsson didn't give away any reaction, staring at his remaining stack behind his sunglasses. Eventually, the Frenchman called and Bertilsson tabled the {5-Diamonds} {7-Spades} for a straight.

Graner Calls Nemeth Shove

Level 27 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

Stephen Graner opened for 100,000, as he has regularly been doing and increasing his stack. This time Andras Nemeth shoved over the top for 660,000 and Graner gave it some thought before he called.

Graner had {a-Hearts}{6-Hearts} and Nemeth {a-Spades}{4-Spades}.

The board ran out {q-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{a-Clubs} and they chopped it up.

Set of Aces for Wiesler

Level 27 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

Bjorn Wiesler raised to 105,000 from the button and Fabio Sperling called in the big blind to see the heads-up flop of {5-Diamonds} {J-Spades} {A-Diamonds}. Sperling check-called a bet of 100,000 and did so again on the {4-Hearts} turn for 255,000. The {3-Spades} river completed the board and Wiesler checked behind. Sperling showed {A-Hearts} {7-Spades} and Wiesler had that crushed with {A-Clubs} {A-Spades}.

One hand later, Anton Bertilsson raised to 100,000 and then folded to the three-bet of Wiesler for 275,000.

Aces For Kyriakides

Level 27 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

Andras Nemeth was on the button and Miltiadis Kyriakides in the small blind as they got it all in preflop.

Nemeth has lost a lot of chips this level and he tabled {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds} to put Kyriakides at risk, but he showed {a-Clubs}{a-Hearts}.

The board ran out {10-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{4-Diamonds} and a double up for Kyriakides saw Nemeth drop again.

Level 27 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

Remi Castaignon raised from under the gun and fired one barrel against Davidi Kitai to scoop the pot with {4-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds} against the {7-Clubs} {7-Spades} of the Belgian thanks to the {8-Spades} on the flop.

Fabio Sperling then limped the button and the Frenchman checked. On the {J-Spades} {2-Diamonds} {3-Diamonds} flop, Castaignon check-called a bet of 65,000 and the {4-Diamonds} turn got checked through. After the {J-Diamonds} fell on the river, Castaignon bet 175,000 and that enforced a fold from Sperling.
