Mesiranta Continues the Aggression

Level 4 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Ville-Tapio Mesiranta
Ville-Tapio Mesiranta

Met with a raise from Henning Raabe to 1,400 from middle position, Ville-Tapio Mesiranta opted to three-bet from the cutoff to 4,600 in keeping with his aggressive tendencies. Action folded back to Raabe, who made the call.

The dealer spread a 398 flop, and when Raabe checked, Mesiranta continued with a bet of 5,600. This was enough to see the pot pushed towards Mesiranta, as Raabe returned his cards to the dealer.

Baby Flush Does the Job

Level 4 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

With a raise to 1,400 ahead of him, Hugo Loustau called in the hijack before Sebastian Curcu three-bet to 5,500, one seat to his left, in the cutoff. The original raiser folded, but Loustau called again.

Both players checked the 989 flop, seeing Loustau take over the betting lead with a wager of 4,500 on the 7 turn. Curcu made the call.

The river 10 saw both players happy to go to a showdown. After they both checked, Loustau tabled 55, which was enough to claim the pot as Curcu mucked his cards.

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante
Matteo Condemi
Matteo Condemi

Seeing a limp ahead of him, Ville-Tapio Mesiranta raised to 1,700 in the cutoff. One seat to his left, Matteo Condemi responded with a three-bet to 4,800.

The limper folded, and Mesiranta went into the tank, looking his opponent up and down. After a few moments, he removed his own sunglasses to get a better look at Condemi. After deep consideration, he opted to fold, returning his cards to the dealer.

Another pot was pushed in the direction of Condemi, who is beginning to build a stack.

Two Pair Takes the Pot

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Florent Colin raised in middle position, gathering calls from Shota Karchkhadze on the button, and the player in the big blind.

Colin continued for 1,200 on the JQ7 flop, which only Karchkhadze called.

The dealer added the A turn to the board, which saw Colin check. Karchkhadze took over the betting lead, to the tune of 2,600, which Colin called.

When both players checked the 2 river, Colin flipped over QJ, his two pair enough to claim the pot as Karchkhadze mucked his cards.
