Soulier Cracks Aces

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Corentin Soulier was all-in for 20,000 and at risk versus Frank Stacker.

Corentin Soulier: JJ All in
Frank Stacker: AA

Soulier was in trouble versus rockets, but he binked a two-outer on the J65 flop, the Q turn and 5 river failing to alter matters.

Fuge Busts to Uzan's Quads

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Yvonne Fuge
Yvonne Fuge

Yvonne Fuge opened to 10,000 from early position, and was met with a three-bet to 28,000 from Ludovic Uzan in the next seat. Action folded back to Fuge, who four-bet jammed for 55,000. Uzan asked for a count and made the call.

Yvonne Fuge: QQ All in
Ludovic Uzan: 1010

Fuge had Uzan crushed, and the 443 flop was clear.

However it was followed by the 10 turn to put Uzan in front with a full house, and the 10 river rubbed salt in Fuge's wounds.

Janssen Pulverizes Piloyan

Level 12 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Ferry Janssen
Ferry Janssen

Ferry Janssen opened to 9,000 from early position, and was met with a three-bet to 20,000 from Tigran Piloyan in the next seat. Action folded back to Janssen, who took some time before producing a four-bet to 46,500.

Piloyan, who about 100,000 behind, went into the tank pondering his next move. After around two minutes, he announced all-in, and looked pained when Janssen snapped.

Tigran Piloyan: AQ All in
Ferry Janssen: KK

Piloyan was in trouble versus Janssen's cowboys, and the 97544 runout did not provide him with any solace.

Weak Two Pair Good for Behrendt

Level 12 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Francisco Jimenez opened to 8,500 from middle position, and received a call from Uwe Behrendt in the small blind.

On the K43 flop, Behrendt led out with a bet of 6,000, which failed to shake off Jimenez.

Behrendt continued with another bet of 6,000 on the J turn, and Jimenez again called.

The 4 river was checked through, and the pot went to Behrendt when he tabled 77 for two pair, sevens and fours, and Jimenez mucked.

Maskell Doubles with Cowboys

Level 12 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Alexander Maskell
Alexander Maskell

Leo Walker opened to 8,000 from hijack, and was faced with a three-bet to 22,000 from Alexander Maskell on the button. Action folded back to Walker, who pondered the spot for about 30 seconds before four-bet jamming with the covering stack.

Maskell quickly got his 183,000 total stack into the middle, causing Walker to query "Same hand?"

Alexander Maskell: KK All in
Leo Walker: AK

"Ahh, not quite" said Walker when he saw his opponent's cards.

Walker's Big Slick was in bad shape, and he was drawing dead by the turn on the K82Q5 runout, Maskell flopping top set.
