Drummond Forces Majcher Out

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.

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.

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.

With 5,400 already in the pot, Gabriel Bitton manoeuvred his stack of 10,100 into the middle on a Q♣6♣5♠ flop. Haraldur Petursson took some time to consider, but decided to put Bitton at risk and made the call.

Gabriel Bitton: K♠Q♥ All in
Haraldur Petursson: 7♥6♥

There was no help for Petursson as the J♣ turn and 10♠ river completed the board, seeing Bitton secure a double up.

Fluereci on Piles as Finlay Bricks Combo Draw

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Robert Fluereci, who finished eighth in the Irish Open Main Event last year, had opened his button and called when Wayne Finlay flicked in a three-bet from the big blind.

Fluereci placed a continuation-bet on the 3♠K♥5♥ flop, which Fluereci called. Finlay seemed to slow down on the 4♥ turn, checking it over to Fluereci.

With the pot having grown to about 18,000, Fluereci took the initiative with a bet of 14,000. Finlay then moved all in for about 50,000, and Fluereci quickly called with the covering stack.

Wayne Finlay: A♣10♥ All in
Robert Fluereci: 5♠4♠

Finlay needed to hit a flush or a straight to double up, but he made a pair on the A♠ river instead. Fluereci's two pair remained best, and he shipped the massive pot to be among the leaders in the room.

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Daniel Sheridan opened to 2,200 in early position, which one player called before action folded to Maxime Servais in the big blind. Servais opted to raise to 10,200, which met immediate resistance when Sheridan moved all of his chips into the middle.

The third player wasted no time in folding, but Servais seemed to have a decision. The all-in had his remaining stack of roughly 40,000 covered. After some careful consideration, he opted to fold.

Sheridan flipped over his J♥J♣, and Servais advised that he had folded pocket tens.

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Marcus Bonna opted to limp in under the gun before calling a raise to 2,600 by Branco Steltman, two seats to his left.

The rest of the table folded, and the two players went to a A♣9♦8♥ flop. Steltman continued for 2,500, which Bonna called.

When the dealer added the 8♦ to the board, Bonna checked for a second time, but then folded when Steltman put a more substantial 11,000 into the middle.

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Six-way to the 4♥2♣6♠ flop, Luca Accornero checked from the small blind before Remus Matache bet 1,000 into the pot of 10,400 from the big blind. Fintan Hand was under the gun and raised to 5,000, after which the action folded back to Accornero.

Accornero called, prompting Matache to get out of the way. Hand sized up to 6,500 on the 7♠ turn, quickly calling when Accornero check-raised all in for 17,100.

Luca Accornero: 2♠2♥ All in
Fintan Hand: 6♥6♣

Hand had flopped the better set, and he won the pot when the 7♥ river did not bring the final deuce in the deck.

Matache, meanwhile, took the opportunity to loudly lament his fold with seven-six, which would have made a higher full house on the river.
