Baali Hits to Stay Alive

Level 18 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Seeing a raise to 60,000 ahead of him, Abdellah Baali responded by moving all in for 325,000 from the cutoff. The action folded to Francesco Cortorillo in the big blind, who moved all in too, for 510,000.

The original raiser got out of the way, and the players tabled their cards.

Abdellah Baali: A♣J♥ All in
Francesco Cortorillo: 8♣8♦

The flop was safe for Cortorillo, coming out 5♦5♥9♥, but the A♦ turn saw Baali leapfrog him into the lead.

The river 9♦ kept things as they were, seeing Baali earn a double up.

Level 17 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Sebastian Mortensen opened to 40,000 on the button, seeing only Vester Vergeest call, defending his big blind.

The dealer spread a J♣A♥2♣ flop, which saw Vergeest check-call Mortensen's continuation-bet of 35,000.

Vergeest checked for a second time on the 6♣ turn, prompting Mortensen to place another bet, this time a more substantial wager of 145,000.

Vergeest didn't waste much time returning his cards to the dealer.

Level 17 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Danilo Mercuri kicked the action off with a raise to 40,000 from middle position, which only Luciano Capossela called on the button.

The action checked through on the K♣K♠2♠ flop, prompting the dealer to add the K♥ turn to the board.

Mercuri checked for a second time before seeing Capossela place a bet of 20,000, which Mercuri called.

The river 8♥ saw action check through again, and it turned out to be kicker issues for Mercuri, as his A♠9♥ was pipped by Capossela's A♣10♠.

Level 17 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

The action was picked up on a 2♠8♠6♣ flop, with Ioannis Nanos and Scott Wills competing blind versus blind.

With roughly 135,000 already in the pot, Nanos put out a bet of 30,000 only to see Wills raise to 90,000, which Wills called.

The turn 4♥ saw action check through, and the J♦ river completed the board.

Nanos picked his betting lead back up, placing a bet of 100,000, which Wills quickly called.

Wills flipped over A♠J♣, which was more than enough to claim the pot.
