Level 10 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Kings No Good

Level 10 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Sean Purcell raised under the gun to 7,000 before Timothee Rey moved all in from the small blind for 38,000. The big blind folded, and Purcell made the call.

Timothee Rey: KK All in
Sean Purcell: AK

The flop 2A2 left Rey needing a minor miracle, which was unforthcoming when the dealer completed the board with the Q turn and 8 river.

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Daniel Norton raised to 4,000 from early position, which was met by a three-bet to 11,000 from Thomas Gisler in the hijack. Matthieu Burguiere then put in a four-bet to 23,000 on the button.

The action returned to Norton, who went deep into the tank. Minutes passed as the tortured-looking tried to come to a decision. A little bit more time went by before another player called the clock. Norton verbalised that this was more than fair, as he was taking a long time, his time to make a decision then expired, killing his hand.

Action back to Gisler, who made the call.

The dealer put out a K35 flop, which saw Burguiere continue for 8,000 and Gisler check-raise all in for 33,000, which Burguiere called.

Thomas Gisler: 55 All in
Matthieu Burguiere: AA

It was bad news for Burguiere, who had been outflopped. There was no reprieve as the board was completed with the 2 turn and the K river, seeing the pot pushed towards Gisler.

Norton then let the table know he folded ace-king.

Quads for Hesserud

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Simon Hesserud raised to 4,000 from the cutoff, and only Vilmos Varkas called, defending his big blind.

Both players checked on the 368 flop, seeing the dealer add the 6 turn to the board.

Varkas checked for a second time before calling a bet of 3,000 from Hesserud.

The river 8 saw Varkas check again, and Hesserud responded by putting his opponent all in.

Varkas folded straight away, which was a wise choice, as Hesserud flipped over 88, for rivered quads.

Denys Prydvor raised to 3,000 from the hijack, which met immediate resistance from Antonio Merone, who three-bet all in for 29,000. The action returned to Prydvor, who made the call.

Antonio Merone: 1010 All in
Denys Prydvor: KK

There was no help to be found for Merone, who was drawing dead on the turn, as the board ran out AAJA7, seeing him head to the exit.
