Tapio Takes Out Ferman

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Kaapo Tapio
Kaapo Tapio

Newly crowned Irish Open Marrakech Hendon Mob Champion Kaapo Tapio is building a stack in an attempt to secure a second title this week.

Redwan Ferman opened to 2,000 from under the gun. Kaapo Tapio called from the cutoff, and capriccio1 called in the small blind. capriccio1 checked to Ferman on the 6♦9♥3♦ flop, who bet 2,800. Tapio called, and capriccio1 folded.

Ferman barrelled again on the J♥ turn, sizing up to 7,600. Tapio called again. Ferman then moved all-in for 21,100. Tapio was clearly in a tough spot, counting his chips multiple times to see how much he would have if his call was unsuccessful. Ultimately, he found it with K♦J♣, which beat the missed flush and straight draw of Ferman's 10♥8♥. Ferman can no longer reenter, having used both of his bullets for this flight.

Stephane Neves limped in from under the gun. Noel Temelsiz raised to 1,200. Rudolf Kosa called in the cutoff, as did Jerome Zerbib on the button. Roger Tondeur and capriccio1 came along for the ride from the blinds.

The 9♠A♠2♥ flop was checked to Zerbib, who bet 3,400. Only Kosa called. The 3♠ turn was checked around before Kosa led for 11,000 on the 9♥ river. Zerbib called quickly and was shown the bad news. Kosa had K♠7♠ for the nut flush, and Zerbib mucked his holding.
