Aces in Vain for Agius

Richard Hayes

Level 19 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Matthew Agius was all-in for 35,000 and at risk versus Charles Eichner.

Matthew Agius: A♦A♥ All in
Charles Eichner: Q♥Q♦

The table were highly amused that short-stack Agius had woken up with a monster, and he doubled on the 10♣5♦3♠4♠2♥ runout.

However he was seen at the payout desk shortly later after busting.

Level 20 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

There was around 425,000 in the middle, on a board of K♠7♠6♣4♥6♥, in a hand between Magrane Esteve on the button and Gustav Andersson in the small blind.

Andersson check-raised to 300,000 versus a bet of 125,000 from Esteve, and after a bit of thought, Esteve called.

Andersson showed K♣J♠ for a pair of kings, and Esteve mucked.

Level 20 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Oliver Mihajlovksi jammed from middle position for 280,000 and Jaime Lozano Diaz three-bet to 500,000 from the small blind, isolating his opponent.

Oliver Mihajlovksi: Q♦Q♠ All in
Jaime Lozano Diaz: K♦J♥

Mihajlovski was against a single overcard, and Diaz missed the A♠8♥4♥7♥8♣ runout, although Mihajlovski had a sweat on the turn with Diaz holding a heart.

Triple-Up for Uzan

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Richard Hayes

Level 20 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Ludovic Uzan was sweeping in a triple-up, and Ian Morris was getting up out of his chair after losing a side pot to Matteo Ferrara in a three-way all-in. Uzan was all-in for 400,000, Morris had slightly more, and Ferrara had them both covered.

Ludovic Uzan: A♣A♥ All in
Ian Morris: A♠Q♥ All in
Matteo Ferrara: K♠3♠

Uzan was loving life with rockets, and he was still ahead after the Q♠6♣6♦J♠3♦ runout. Morris busted to Ferrara after he rivered a pair of threes to beat Morris' ace-high.
