Montagnon Chips up

Dan O'Hair

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

Heads-up in what appeared to be a three-bet pot, a player in early position checked to Gabriel Montagnon, who bet 1,800 from the cutoff. His opponent called.

Both players checked on the 6♦ turn and Montagnon's opponent checked again after the K♠ filled the river.

Montagnon cut out 6,000 from his stack and placed it into the middle, which got a quick fold from his opponent.

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

The player on the button opened to 700 and Sylvain Navarro defended his big blind.

Both players checked on the J♥7♠4♥ flop and the player on the button called a 2,200 bet from Navarro on the 6♣ turn.

The 10♠ completed the board and Navarro sized up for a bet of 10,000. This time his opponent thought better of it and sent his hand into the muck — conceding the pot to Navarro.

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Three ways on a board of 3♣2♠Q♥2♥ with several thousand already in the middle, a player in middle position bet 8,400 and the player in the hijack folded. Pascal Bohler called from the cutoff for a heads-up pot heading to the river.

The 2♣ river put trips on board and Bohler's opponent shoved, which was enough to put Bohler all in for his last 20,000. Bohler paused, but didn't take too long to put his remaining stack into the middle.

Boher's opponent could only show 9♥8♥ for a busted flush draw and Boher tunred over Q♣Q♦ for queens-full to claim the pot and double up.

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

A short-stacked Ricardo Graells was heads-up from the cutoff against a player under the gun on a flop of J♣8♦K♣. Graells shoved for his last 7,200 and his opponent called to put him at risk.

Ricardo Graells: A♥K♥ All in
Opponent: K♠10♦

Graells had his opponent dominated, and the K♦5♥ runout kept Graells best with his ace-kicker to award him the much-needed double up.

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Igor Mele opened to 400 first to act and was called by the player in the cutoff. The player on the button then squeezed to 2,000 and only Mele called.

Mele check-called a 1,100 bet from his opponent on the 6♥5♦9♠ flop and then both players checked on the 3♥ turn.

The J♣ completed the board and Mele led out for a 3,000 bet, which his opponent quickly called. Mele turned over Q♠J♠ for a rivered pair of jacks and his opponent showed he held J♥10♥ for an inferior kicker to send the pot Mele's way.

Level 1 : Blinds 100/100, 100 ante

A player in middle position opened to 300 and was called by Lionel Laurent on the button and both players in the blinds for a four-way pot.

Action checked to the initial raiser on the 5♦3♦4♣ flop and he continued for 800. Laurent called, the small blind folded, and the big blind called.

The 3♥ fell on the turn and it was checked to Laurent, who fired 1,600 into the middle. The big blind folded and Laurent's lone remaining opponent in middle position called.

It was checked to Lionel a final time after the 5♥ filled the river and Laurent bet 2,100. His opponent decided to look Laurent up and Laurent tabled 6♣2♣ for a flopped six-high straight. His opponent couldn't beat it and mucked — awarding the pot to Laurent.

Level 1 : 100/100, 100 ante

Sebastiano Bagatin was heads-up from the big blind against the player in the small blind on a board of 8♦9♣9♦3♦5♠ with approximately 20,000 already in the middle.

The small blind checked to Bagatin, who announced he was all in, which was enough to put his opponent all in for his last 20,000.

His opponent went deep into the tank. After several minutes, the clock was eventually called and the floorman gave him 30 seconds to act on his hand.

The small blind failed to act before his hand was announced dead and Bagatin collected the monster pot without showing.
