Hari Gets Some Chips Back

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Jon Garaialde raised to 4,000 from under the gun and Adam Hari shoved in the hijack for 22,000. Action folded back to Garaialde who confirmed the amount before making the call.

Adam Hari: {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}
Jon Garaialde: {a-Hearts}{10-Hearts}

Hari had the same hand again with which he had just doubled Garaialde up.

"I kept them," Hari joked.

The flop came {10-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{5-Spades} for Garaialde to find a ten to pair up with but keep Hari ahead.

The turn was the {9-Diamonds} which didn't change and neither did the {j-Spades} on the river as Hari doubled up.

Jon Garaialde raised to 4,000 from the early position and Adam Hari three-bet to 12,000 in the cutoff. Action folded back to Garaialde who four-bet to 27,000 after taking some time to consider his options. Hari responded with a shove and Garaialde snap-called for 94,500.

Jon Garaialde: {a-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}
Adam Hari: {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}

The board ran out {q-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{a-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} for Garaialde to improve his hand to a set on the turn to double up and leave Hari with 22,000.

Mor Doesn't Know What to Bet

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Antoniou Georgios raised from under the gun and Eviatar Mor three-bet to 6,000 from the hijack. Action folded to Panagiotis Chatzisofokli in the big blind who made the call and so did Georgios.

They all checked through the {3-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{k-Clubs} on the flop to the {3-Hearts} on the turn. Both Chatzisofokli and Georgios checked. Mor bet 6,000 and only Chatzisofokli called.

The river completed the board with the {7-Spades}, Chatzisofokli checked for the last time. Mor grabbed some random chips which were most of his big chips and put them in as a bet. Chatzisofokli snap-called.

"Full house," Mor said before showing {k-Spades}{k-Diamonds}.

Chatzisofokli mucked. The dealer counted out the bet which ended up being 33,500.

"I didn't know what to bet so I just grabbed some chips," Mor admitted.

"Nice hand," Chatzisofokli commented.

They then both checked through the {3-Spades} on the turn and the {q-Spades} on the river for Myhre to claim the pot with {8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}.

Martini Loses It All in Two Hands

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

First Pablo Boegershausen raised to 2,500 from the hijack and was called by Davorin Stevanovic in the cutoff. Action folded to Alessandro Martini in the big blind who three-bet to 11,000. Boegershausen opted to fold but Stevanovic four-bet to 25,000. Martini responded with a shove and Stevanovic snap-called with a similar stack.

Davorin Stevanovic: {a-Spades}{a-Diamonds}
Alessandro Martini: {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}

The board ran out {6-Hearts}{7-Spades}{8-Spades}{2-Clubs}{3-Hearts} to not bring any danger to Stevanovic's rockets. Both stacks were counted and Martini got up from his seat already but had to sit back down as he had 1,400 left after paying Stevanovic.

The hand after, action folded to Martini in the small blind who put his last chips in without checking his cards. Steven Smith made the call for 200 more in the big blind. Smith opened his cards first and the rest of the players chuckled but then the dealer opened Martini's hand and they all gasped.

Alessandro Martini: {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}
Steven Smith: {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}

The board ran out {5-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} to not bring any help to Martini as he was sent to the rail.
