Ruggeri Plays Piles as Mustanoglu Misses Triple-Up

Frank Visser

Level 31 : Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Big blind Osman Mustanoglu had squeezed all in preflop, with Ian Simpson in the cutoff and Umberto Ruggeri in the small blind calling him.

The A♠A♦2♥ flop fell with around 3,500,000 in the middle, to which Ruggeri added 300,000. Simpson called to the 4♥ turn, where he quickly folded when Ruggeri continued for 420,000.

Osman Mustanoglu: 8♠8♥ All in
Umberto Ruggeri: A♣J♥

The Q♦ river did not fill up Mustanoglu's eights, sending him to the rail as five tables remained.

Level 30 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Ari Engel was down to less than ten big blinds, which he shipped in from the hijack. Osman Mustanoglu called in the small blind, tabling the cards.

Ari Engel: A♣4♠ All in
Osman Mustanoglu: A♦10♠

The 10♦2♥K♠6♥6♦ runout could not bail out Engel, who departed shortly after dinner.

Frank Visser

Level 29 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Sebastian Resz had put his 1,600,000 in preflop from middle position and was up against David Pollock, who sat under the gun.

Sebastian Resz: A♠A♣ All in
David Pollock: K♥K♣

Resz had found a great spot to double up in hold 'em's ultimate cooler, but the deck had other ideas as the 8♥K♦6♥ flop gave Pollock a set for an immense lead.

Resz needed an ace but did not receive one on the J♠ turn or 6♣ river, providing a sour exit for the Polish player.

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Frank Visser

Level 27 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Parker Talbot had raised in early position and had been called by Jordan Bamford in the big blind. He then continued for 125,000 on the 10♥8♥9♠ flop, which Bamford called.

Bamford then led for 225,000 on the 2♦ turn, seeing Talbot put in a call. The 10♦ river completed the board, on which Bamford sized up to 375,000.

Talbot spent some time in the tank before flicking in a call. Bamford showed ace-high, tabling A♦4♦, which Talbot had beat with an ace-high of his own, as his A♠J♦ had the higher kicker.

In middle position, Greg King checked the K♠K♥6♥4♦ turn over to Georgios Skarparis on the button, who added 225,000 to the pot of 850,000.

King called to the K♦ river, which both players quickly checked. Skarparis tabled A♣9♣, narrowly beating the A♠8♣ of King and eclipsing the five-million mark.
