Sequeira Sucks Out on Wilson to Nearly Triple

Frank Visser

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Robert McAdam opened the action with a raise to 1,300 under the gun. Stefanos Chortis flat-called in the hijack, and Jamie Sequeira and Alex O'Brien followed suit in the cutoff and button, respectively.

Simon Wilson eyed the action before he squeezed in a three-bet to 7,600 from the small blind. McAdam clicked it back to 18,700, folding out Chortis.

Sequeira had other plans, however, and four-bet all in for 35,000. O'Brien got out of the way, but Wilson reshoved, covering McAdam's stack of 60,000. McAdam eventually let his cards go as well, forcing a showdown between Wilson and Sequeira.

Jamie Sequeira: 6♠6♣ All in
Simon Wilson: K♠K♣

Sequeira flopped a set on 6♥10♠7♦ for a big lead over Wilson's kings. No chops were available after the A♠ turn, and the 10♣ river improved Sequeira to a full house, raking in the pot as he almost tripled up.

In a three-bet pot worth 12,000, Sean Prendiville bet 6,000 from the small blind on the 10♠Q♦8♠ flop, seeing Isaac Borghouts call on the button. Prendiville quickly tossed in 16,000 on the 3♣ turn, and Borghouts flicked in another call.

Prendiville almost instantly jammed when the 2♣ arrived on the river. Borghouts gave it some thought, but ended up sending his cards to the muck as he gave up on the pot.

Stewart Morrison

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

In the final hand of the previous level, Nathan Drummond opened to 1,000 under the gun. The raise collected three calls, including Michal Majcher in the big blind.

All four players checked on the 4♦Q♦K♥, seeing the J♥ join the board.

Majcher opted to lead out for 2,300 but met immediate resistance as Drummond raised to 7,000. The action folded back to Majcher, who made the call.

The 3♥ completed the board, and when Majcher checked, Drummond continued for 8,000.

Majcher spent some time in the tank, but after a minute or two of consideration, he elected to fold.

Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

Mathieu Morelato, Jokin Cendoya, and Luca Bartoli were looking at a 10♣9♦K♣8♣ turn. Morelato checked from the big blind, and Cendoya followed suit under the gun. Bartoli then added 7,600 to the pot of 22,500 with a bet, which both opponents called.

Morelato checked again when the K♦ hit the turn, but Cendoya took the initiative with an all-in bet worth 28,900. Bartoli quickly mucked his cards before Morelato snap-called.

Cendoya tabled K♠10♦ for kings full of tens, besting the 10♠10♥ of Morelato, who lost the pot with a worse full house.

The stacks were carefully counted, and Cendoya raked in a double-up as Morelato covered him. Morelato was left with just 200 chips, which he lost shortly after, resulting in his elimination.

Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

The action was joined on the turn of a Q♠4♥3♠2♥ board, and 19,700 in the pot.

Small blind Radoslav Iliev checked before facing an all-in from Donald O'Kelly. The bet had Iliev's stack of 20,500 covered, but that didn't deter him, as he snap-called.

Radoslav Iliev: A♦Q♥ All in
Donald O'Kelly: 7♦7♥

O'Kelly was drawing to just two outs, and was unable to get there on the J♣ river, ensuring Iliev a full double.

Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

Seeing an early position limp ahead of him, Jamie Walden followed suit in middle position. After a third player limped in, Andy Maszlag put in a raise to 1,600 from the cutoff. The initial limper folded, but Walden and the second limper called.

When checked to on the 6♥Q♠3♠ flop, Maszlag continued for 2,200, and both players called.

The dealer added the 10♠ turn to the board, and once again, action checked to Maszlag. This time, he flicked 5,000 into the middle before seeing Walden respond by moving all in for 23,700. The action folded back to Mazslag, who opted to call.

Jamie Walden: J♠6♠ All in
Andy Maszlag: K♣K♦

Walden was assured of the double up, as Maszlag was drawing dead before the Q♥ had even completed the board.

The action was joined as three players were fighting for a pot with 8,200 already in the middle.

Looking at a K♠5♥2♦ flop, both Valerio Secchiaroli and Jamie Walden checked from the small blind and middle position, respectively. Paulo Andre placed a bet of 2,500 from the hijack, and both his opponents called.

The action was then checked through on both the 8♣ turn and the 5♠ river.

Andre flipped over Q♠Q♥, prompting Secchiaroli and Walden to muck their cards.

Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

Phillip Hardy raised in the cutoff and called when Martin Olali made it 3,800 to go on the button. Hardy check-called Olali's bet of 2,500 on the 3♣K♥9♠ flop before the K♦ turn and 7♥ river were checked down.

Olali tabled A♥J♠, but his ace-high was no good as Hardy's 10♥10♠ won him the pot.
