Helppi Profits Off Larabi's Over-Bet

Frank Visser

Level 5 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

The pot amounted to a modest 5,000 when Bernard Larabi fired 7,500 on the J♠4♥5♣8♥ turn from the hijack. Juha Helppi sat on the button and called to the 10♦ river, which was knuckled by both.

Larabi turned over Q♣10♥ for a rivered pair of tens, but Helppi had the winning hand with J♣9♣ for top pair and was awarded the pot.

Level 6 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Ewen Trevidy raised to 2,200 in the cutoff, and Bernard Larabi defended his big blind. Trevidy continued for 3,000 on the K♠Q♣10♠ flop, which Larabi check-called.

The 8♦ turn saw Trevidy put in an over-bet of 15,000. Larabi took some time before check-calling again, after which he checked the Q♠ river as well.

Trevidy put in one time bank before releasing a bet of 30,000. That was enough for Larabi to let his hand go as he surrendered the pot to his opponent.

Level 6 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

The action was picked up on a turn of 7♦9♦8♣3♠, with around 15,000 in the pot. Ewen Trevidy fired an over-bet of 20,000 from the small blind, which Bernard Larabi called in middle position.

Both players then checked the 4♦ river. Trevidy tabled A♣Q♣ for ace-high, meaning Larabi's 6♠6♥ was good enough to win the pot.

Level 6 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Jonathan Proudfoot in the hijack and Michel Molenaar in the cutoff were looking at a flop of 6♠J♥6♦. Proudfoot checked it over to Molenaar, who bet 2,600 into a pot of 8,000.

Proudfoot raised to 11,500, and Molenaar put in a call. The 9♦ turn slowed down Proudfoot, as he checked to Molenaar once again.

Molenaar responded with a bet of 21,000, forcing a quick fold from his opponent and shipping the pot.

In the meantime, satellite winner Simon Wilson took his seat in the Super High Roller.

Level 6 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Mengshi Tian in the cutoff and Jonathan Proudfoot on the button had built a big pot of 60,000 when they arrived on a turn of 3♣2♦K♠5♦. Tian checked to Proudfoot, who wagered 23,000 additional chips.

Tian spent one time bank before moving all in for 90,000, covering Proudfoot. Proudfoot went into the tank as well, spending one time extension of his own before finding a fold and leaving himself about half a starting stack.

During the hand, EPT founder John Duthie sat down at the table, receiving a fresh stack of 100,000.

Juho Suutari opened to 2,500 from middle position, which Simon Wilson bumped up to 8,800 in the cutoff. The action folded back to Suutari, who made the call.

Wilson continued for 6,200 on the 2♦3♦J♣ flop, and Suutari check-raised to 17,000. Wilson called to the 5♥ turn, where Suutari slowed down and checked.

Wilson fired a bet of 22,500, seeing Suutari just call this time. Both players ended up checking the 8♠ river, with Suutari tabling A♦K♦ for ace-high.

Wilson had rivered a pair with his 8♦7♦, winning the sizable pot and capturing the chiplead at the table.

Level 7 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

John Duthie had three-bet an earlier open to 7,000 when Michel Molenaar four-bet to 18,000 from the small blind. It folded back to Duthie, who called to the 9♦10♥Q♠ flop.

Molenaar placed a bet of 15,000, which Duthie raised to 50,000 after some thought. Molenaar quickly put his opponent all-in for 79,000 total, which Duthie snapped off.

John Duthie: Q♦Q♣ All in
Michel Molenaar: A♥A♦

Duthie had flopped top set to take a huge lead over Molenaar's aces. The 2♦ turn left the Dutchman with two outs, which did not arrive on the 9♥ river.
