Ferrari Takes Two From Wilson

Frank Visser

Level 32 : Blinds 100,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Manuel Ferrari opened to 500,000 under the gun, and Dan Wilson called in the cutoff. Ferrari checked the 7♦J♦5♠ flop over to Wilson, who placed a bet of 525,000.

Ferrari put in a raise to 1,400,000, winning him the pot as Wilson laid his cards down.

The next hand, Wilson raised to 500,000 in the hijack. Ferrari defended his big blind before he check-called Wilson's continuation-bet of 325,000 on the 3♥4♥A♦ flop.

The 6♦ turn then checked through to the 8♥ river, where Ferrari led out with a bet of 1,400,000. Wilson quickly folded, forfeiting another pot to his opponent.

Player	Chips	Progress
Manuel Ferrari	8,500,000 2,550,000	2,550,000
Dan Wilson	5,925,000 1,775,000	1,775,000

Level 32 : Blinds 100,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Kevin Killeen opened the action with a raise to 500,000 from early position. Both Michael Prendergast on the button and Jarkko Suokas in the big blind called.

Killeen continued for 575,000 on the 3♦4♣2♠ flop, and both his opponents called.

The J♠ turn joined the board, and when action checked over to Prendergast, he bet 1,500,000. Suokas called, but Killeen folded.

When the 6♥ river completed the board, Suokas took over the betting lead, putting 5,000,000 into the middle. Prendergast wasted no time before he called.

Suokas flipped over 9♠5♠ for a rivered straight. Prendergast also had a straight, showing he had flopped it with A♣5♣.

As such, the players chopped the pot.

Jarkko Suokas	15,850,000 650,000	650,000

In a single-raised pot to the 9♥2♠8♥ flop, Narcis Nedelcu checked from the big blind, and Gerard Carbo followed suit on the button.

Nedelcu then fired a bet of 400,000 on the 4♥ turn. Carbo called to the 8♦ river, where Nedelcu sized up to 1,075,000.

Carbo spent one of his time banks before calling. Nedelcu tabled J♥9♠ for top pair, and Carbo mucked his cards in defeat.

A completed board of A♥6♣6♥10♣4♥ was between Edward Dunphy in the small blind and Mael Chicot under the gun. Dunphy checked to Chicot, who added 2,050,000 to the pot of 4,000,000 with a bet.

Dunphy went deep into the tank, eventually coming out with an all-in check-raise worth 8,250,000.

Vasyl Palandiuk opened to 500,000 from the hijack, and only Danilo Donnini called in the big blind.

Level 32 : Blinds 100,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Kenneth Svendsen opened to 500,000 in the hijack. Steve O'Dwyer then moved in his stack of 4,150,000 in the cutoff, and Svendsen called after receiving a count.

Steve O'Dwyer: K♠Q♠ All in
Kenneth Svendsen: 8♦8♣

O'Dwyer flopped the nuts on A♥10♠J♥, although the A♠ turn gave Svendsen some outs. He did not hit a boat on the 2♥ river, however, and the 2022 Irish Open champion doubled to an average stack.

Player	Chips	Progress
Steve O'Dwyer	8,900,000 2,325,000	2,325,000

Stewart Morrison

Level 32 : Blinds 100,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

The action was joined with the cards already on their backs, as Hussni Alkhuzai had manoeuvred his stack into the middle preflop versus Francesco Gisolfi.

The stacks were very similar, but once they had been counted, it was Alkhuzai at risk.

Hussni Alkhuzai: A♣K♥ All in
Francesco Gisolfi: J♠J♣

A classic flip, and, on this occasion, the deck favoured Gisolfi.

The board ran out clean for his pocket jacks, coming down 8♦5♣4♦9♠2♦, giving Gisolfi a near double up, but eliminating Alkhuzai.

Francesco Gisolfi	6,900,000 500,000	500,000
Hussni Alkhuzai	Busted

Level 32 : Blinds 100,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Danilo Donnini made it 500,000 to go in the hijack. 2016 champion Dan Wilson then three-bet to 3,000,000 on the button, leaving 500,000 behind.

Vasyl Palandiuk called and revealed A♣Q♣ once Donnini got out of the way, not realizing that Wilson had chips behind. The floor was called over, and a flop was ordered to be dealt, with Palandiuk playing his hand face-up.

Palandiuk then put Wilson all-in on the K♣J♣4♠ flop, and Wilson could only laugh as he called off.

Dan Wilson: J♠J♦ All in
Vasyl Palandiuk: A♣Q♣

The 7♠ turn was safe for Wilson's jacks, but the 5♣ river completed Palandiuk's flush. Wilson was knocked out in 27th place, narrowly missing out on the final three tables.

Player	Chips	Progress
Vasyl Palandiuk	20,000,000 4,100,000	4,100,000

Kenneth Svendsen: K♥K♦ All in

Svendsen's superior pair held on the J♠7♣A♥J♦9♥ runout, doubling him up.
