Zycinski Sends Schweigl to the Rail

Stewart Morrison

Level 8 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Andreas Schweigl raised in middle position to 3,000, which only Kasjusz Zycinski called, defending his big blind.

The dealer spread a flop of J♣A♣J♥, and Zycinski checked in flow. Schweigl continued with a bet of 3,000, only to see Zycinski check-raise to 8,500. Schweigl took a moment before moving all in for 37,500, which Zycinski snap-called.

Andreas Schweigl: 10♥10♣ All in
Kasjusz Zycinski: J♠6♠

The turn 9♦ and river 4♠ kept things as they were, seeing Zycinski pull in the pot, and Schweigl head to the exit.

Level 7 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

The action was joined on a board of J♥5♥8♥10♦ and roughly 10,000 already in the middle.

Simone Aiello, in early position, placed a bet of 4,500 before seeing Szymon Politowski raise to 16,500 in the cutoff, which he called.

The river 8♠ completed the board, and Aiello checked. Politowski placed a more substantial bet of 26,500, which Aiello wasted no time in calling.

Aiello flipped over A♦J♠, which was good enough to claim the pot, as Politowski mucked his cards.

Level 7 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Kajetan Renke raised under the gun to 2,500, which the small blind player called. Lino Loddo then three-bet to 10,600 from the big blind. Renke responded with a four-bet shove for 48,000.

The small blind player folded, and almost immediately behind him, Loddo did the same. Throwing pocket jacks face up into the muck.

Level 6 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

The action was joined with roughly 14,000 already in the pot, and a 8♥7♥8♣ flop in the middle.

Mike Alonso had manoeuvred his remaining stack of 39,700 into the middle, and Matthew Micallef had him at risk.

Mike Alonso: Q♠Q♣ All in
Matthew Micallef: 5♣5♥

The turn allowed Alonso to relax, as the Q♦ assured his double up. The inconsequential 4♦ completed the board, and the pot was pushed in the direction of Alonso.
