Andy Black

On a completed board of 10Q237, Aurismas Baksinskas made a bet of 1,100 into the pot of 3,500 from under the gun. Andy Black sat on the button and made a raise to 3,000.

Baksinskas swiftly called and Black tabled 107 for two pair. Baksinskas' AQ disappeared into the muck and Black raked in a much-needed pot.

Sapiano Reads Spragg Like a Book

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 0 ante
Albert Sapiano
Albert Sapiano

Albert Sapiano and Marle Spragg were heads up on a completed board of 2K634, with around 18,000 chips in the middle. Spragg checked out of the small blind before Sapiano went all in for 10,000 on the button.

Spragg quickly called and Sapiano tabled 55 for the rivered straight. Spragg showed AK for a no-good top pair and was left with one-third of a starting stack.

"Didn't expect that, did you?" Sapiano quipped. "I put you on ace-king as well," he shared while stacking up his chips.

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 0 ante
Tom Waters
Tom Waters

Tom Waters and Shoib Gulamhussein were looking at a completed board of 6K986, where Waters made a bet of 3,500 from the big blind into a pot of 10,000.

Gulamhussein then moved in for 17,700 chips and Waters asked for a count. After receiving it, he flicked in a call and a showdown was had.

Gulamhussein tabled J8 for two pair, eights and sixes, which were outclassed by the rockets of Waters. His AA for aces and sixes raked in him the pot while Gulamhussein swiftly vacated the table.

Roelofsen Out After Suffering Cooler

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 0 ante

Koen Roelofsen was left with but a few chips after running his pocket kings into the aces of Conor Harkin, and they went in on a flop of 466. Both Hugh Parker and John Deschamp were interested and made the call.

The 6 turn created a side pot as both players put in 1,000 chips more, after which Parker tossed in another bet of 2,500 on the J river.

Deschamp made the call and the side pot was chopped as both players had the same full house, with Parker tabling 104 and Deschamp showing 54. Roelofsen's 87 was no match and he swiftly exited the tournament area.

Philippe Dotti
Philippe Dotti

There were 6,500 chips already in the middle on a turn of 526Q. Andy Black checked from the big blind, after which Earle Darren bet 2,200 from the cutoff. Philippe Dotti then raised to 4,400 on the button, which forced Black out of the pot.

Darren tossed in a quick call, however, and did so too when Dotti made a bet of 6,500 on the 4 river. Dotti showed down 22 for bottom set, beating the 65 of Darren, who had flopped two pair.
