Prigent Bluffs It Off

Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

Catching the action on a completed board of 2A410J, Yngve Lommerud checked from under the gun to Stanislas Prigent in the hijack. Prigent then slid in a pot-sized bet of 34,500, the vast majority of his stack.

Lommerud announced a call after some thought, and Prigent instantly mucked his cards, opting not to show. Lommerud was shipped the massive pot, while Prigent would lose the 2,300 he had left himself not much later.

Michael Dwyer
Michael Dwyer

Derek McDonald opened the action with a raise to 1,500 under the gun. Carl Engdhal called in the cutoff before Michael Dwyer squeezed in a three-bet to 6,000 on the button.

McDonald quickly four-bet to 16,500, forcing Engdhal out of the pot. Dwyer responded by moving all in for 59,600, however, sending McDonald into the tank.

After a few minutes, McDonald opted to muck his cards and forfeit the pot to Dwyer.

Rios Shoves Into Vuille's Set

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Catching the action on a completed board of 5108KQ and with 36,500 in the pot, Jorge Rios moved all in from the big blind. Francois Vuille, under the gun, had been put at risk for his stack of 29,600, and he took some moments before he called off.

Rios tabled AA for an overpair, but Vuille had rivered a set of queens with QQ for the winning hand.

"Ace-jack didn't make a lot of sense, but I was still a bit scared," Vuille admitted as he raked in the double-up.

Parker Talbot
Parker Talbot

Ken Denning in the small blind, Parker Talbot in the big blind, and Edward Dunphy in the hijack went to a flop of 9QJ. Denning checked to Talbot, who placed the minimum bet of 800. Dunphy called before Denning folded.

The 2 turn saw Talbot toss in a massive over-bet of 12,000. A perplexed Dunphy eventually let go of his cards, after which Talbot allowed his opponent to table one of his cards.

Dunphy chose the 10. "Phew, the good one," Talbot joked as he was awarded the pot.

Mack Flushes Frazer Out

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Adrian Mack checked the K3QJ turn over to Ian Frazer under the gun, who bet 6,500. Mack then raised to 15,000, to which Frazer responded by moving all in for around 40,000.

Mack was displeased with the situation, but he made a quick call to put Frazer at risk.

Ian Frazer: KQ All in
Adrian Mack: 76

Mack's flush had a big lead over Frazer's two pair, and he eliminated his opponent when the 10 river left Frazer unimproved.

David Masters: AA All in
Sebastian Crane: KK

Masters celebrated as his aces remained best on the 108 runout, and he raked in a gargantuan double-up to be among the leaders in the room.
