Slay Slays Sysko

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Kelly Slay
Kelly Slay

With a massive 23,300 already in the pot, Kelly Slay checked the 3A25 turn over to Richard Sysko. Sysko then moved all in for about 37,000, sending Slay into the tank.

After a couple of moments, Slay called, covering her opponent.

Richard Sysko: 22 All in
Kelly Slay: A9

Slay had flush outs against Sysko's set, and one of them arrived on the 4 river. An unhappy Sysko stormed out of the tournament room, while Slay raked in the massive pot.

"I didn't come here to fold," Slay shrugged as she stacked up the chips.

Collins Cracks Sardini's Aces

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Three-way to a flop of 893, Stephen Collins led out from the big blind with a bet of 800. Razvan Dolcan called in the hijack before Gavin Sardini bumped it up to 3,500 on the button.

Collins called, leading Sardini to get out of the way and fold his hand. The remaining duo then checked the 7 turn to the J river, where Collins checked again.

Sardini tossed in a small bet of 2,000, which Collins called after some thought. Sardini tabled AA, but the preflop nuts were no good against the 83 of Collins, who was awarded the pot with his flopped two pair.

Leyrer Gets Big Value

Level 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Thomas Leyrer was under the gun and was involved in a pot with Mateo Seremet in the next seat over. With 22,000 already in the pot, Leyrer bet 16,000 on the J23K6 completed board.

Seremet eventually tossed in a calling chip, committing about half his remaining chips. Leyrer tabled KJ for top two pair, and Seremet returned his cards to the muck face down.

Herrmann Doubles as Leuver Hero-Calls Ace-High

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante
Anton Herrmann
Anton Herrmann

From the hijack, Anton Herrmann moved his remaining 30,700 chips in on a completed board of 36458 for around a pot-sized bet. Jeroen Leuver was on the button and asked for a count.

Leuver cut out calling chips from his stack and slid them in after some thought. Herrmann tabled AA for an overpair, doubling up as Leuver could only show ace-high with AQ.

Devlin Puts Pressure on Price

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

Marius Zidonis checked the 683 flop from the small blind, and George Devlin followed suit in the hijack. Rhys Price then bet 1,200 on the button, which ZIdonis called.

Devlin had other plans, however, and raised to 5,000. Price called before Zidonis got out of the way. The 8 turn saw Devlin size up to 11,000. Price tossed in a quick call, but he went into the tank when Devlin moved all in on the 5 river.

Price's stack of 27,200 was covered, and he decided to preserve his remaining chips and fold his hand after about a minute in thought.

Cassidy Folds Full House, Abbey Shows

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

Arriving on a completed board of A46QA, Stephen Cassidy bet 6,500 into a pot of 17,000 from the small blind. Eero Abbey, who won the €1,150 NLH 8-Max for €48,940 yesterday, was in early position and raised to 40,000, sending Cassidy deep into the tank.

Cassidy eventually convinced himself to fold 4x4x for bottom full house. Abbey was kind enough to table 66 for a higher full house, after which the player shared a fist bump.
