Malta Poker Festival
Malta Poker Festival

Fabio Giamberardini opened to 2,000 from early position, and was met with a three-bet to 6,000 from Samuel Le Borgne on the button.

James Clarke cold-called in the big blind, and Giamberardini made up the difference.

On the 875 flop, action was checked to Le Borgne, who fired out a bet of 6,000. Clarke called, before Giamberardini check-raised to 22,000.

Le Borgne quickly folded, but Clarke had a peek at his cards and moved all in for 32,000. Giamberardini quickly called.

James Clarke: 63 All in
Fabio Giamberardini: 88

It was top set versus an up and down, and Clarke was dead after the 5 turn improved his opponent to a full house, the 2 river completing the board.

Three Ladies for Hanchard

Level 4 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Naith Hanchard
Naith Hanchard

With around 17,000 in the middle on a board of KQ7A, Linus Moberg and Naith Hanchard checked from the big blind and under the gun respectively to Seymour Savelloni on the button.

Savelloni jammed for 16,400, and Moberg rejammed for 42,000. Hanchard was in the tank, and after about 90 seconds of thought, made the call to create a three-way all-in scenario.

Seymour Savelloni: AJ All in
Naith Hanchard: QQ All in
Linus Moberg: K7

Given the length of time it took Hanchard to call, both of his opponents were surprised to see trip queens. Savelloni was down to four outs to the straight, while Moberg had flopped two pair and picked up a flush draw on the turn.

Much to Hanchard's relief, the 8 river was a brick, and he scooped a big pot to bust Savelloni. Moberg was left with crumbs and busted shortly after.

Mihajlovski Takes Chunky Pot

Level 4 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Oliver Mihajlovski
Oliver Mihajlovski

Oliver Mihajlovski opened to 1,800 from early position, and was met with a three-bet to 5,000 from Georgios Angelinas in the hijack.

Thomas Cazaletz cold-called in the cutoff, as did Yves Farges in the big blind, and Mihajlovski also came along for the ride.

"Come on dealer, let's work together on this one", asked Cazaletz, to chuckles from the table.

The 442 flop was checked to the 6 turn, where action was checked to Angelinas. He slid out a bet of 5,100, which only Mihajlovski called.

The 8 river completed the board, and was quickly checked through. Mihajlovski tabled 96 for two pair sixes and deuces, and that was enough for the pot.

Clements Forces Connolly to Fold Overpair

Level 3 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
John Clements
John Clements

Iulian Rauto opened to 1,200 under the gun, and received a call from John Clements in the next seat, before Willow Connolly produced a three-bet to 3,600 next along. Tomas Major cold-called beside Connolly, and Rauto and Clements both made up the difference to make a four-way three-bet pot.

On the 985 flop, action was checked to Connolly, who fired out a bet of 10,000. Major and Rauto folded in relatively quick fashion, before Clements check-raised to 30,000.

Connolly went into the tank, and at least three minutes of chat ensued between the pair, Clements telling Connolly that he "had to put her under pressure", and that "your 10,000 doesn't put anyone under pressure." Connolly said she didn't like the board, and Clements responded "you have an overpair yeh, jacks."

Connolly was pained, and after more contemplation, open-folded KK.

Clements proceeded to suggest he had purposefully talked her into a fold, but didn't reveal his hand.

Trips for Jancevicius

Level 3 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

A pot of around 17,000 had brewed by the turn on a board of AK6K, in a hand between Seymour Savelloni in middle position and Jokimas Jancevicius in the small blind.

Jancevicius check-called in the face of a bet of 5,100 from Savelloni.

The 7 hit on the river, and Jancevicius led out with a bet of 15,000. Savelloni went into the tank, but called, and promptly mucked when Jancevicius tabled KQ for trip kings.

Seller Forces River Fold

Level 3 : 300/600, 600 ante

Mehran Vahman opened to 1,200 from early position, and Steven Seller defended the big blind.

On the A85 flop, Seller check-called in the face of a bet of 1,500 from Vahman.

The 5 turn was checked to the Q river, where Seller led out with a bet of 5,000, forcing a fold from Vahman.
