Short-Stacked Teusl Hits the Dust

Tyler Foran

Level 10 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Bernard Larabi opened 30,000, and both Stepan Mikhno called on the button before Jessica Teusl came along in the big blind.

The dealer fanned a flop of Q♦7♣3♣, where all three players checked to see the A♦ turn. Teusl checked once again before Larabi fired 35,000. Mikhno called, and Teusl dropped her last 2,000 across the line as she started to stand up from the table.

The 8♠ completed the board, and Larabi dropped 55,000 across the line, which Mikhno called.

Larabi showed A♥10♥, and Mikhno tabled A♣10♣ to chop the pot as Teusl's 9♣8♣ was on the table.

Sava Krink

Level 10 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Even the dealer was perplexed when three players with big stacks revealed their hands after a three-way all-in.

Yuksel Savsa: A♦10♥ All in
Milos Petakovic: A♣3♣ All in
Fabio Peluso: 8♠8♦

The board displayed 10♣8♣A♥Q♣7♠, making it a clear case of collusion. However, the flush tripled up, and the remainder of the pot went to Peluso, who had the most chips before this hand.

Player	Chips	Progress
Milos Petakovic	1,800,000 1,800,000	1,800,000
Fabio Peluso	890,000 480,000	480,000

Yuksel Savsa	Busted

Level 11 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Pavel Frolov jammed for 195,000 from the cutoff, and Maksim Bura called next to act.

Pavel Frolov: A♣6♥ All in
Maksim Bura: A♦J♥

Bura had Frolov dominated but the 9♦6♠5♣ flop paired Frolov's six to take the lead. The 5♦ turn, and 2♠ river were no help for Bura as Frolov collected his double.

Level 11 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

A player in early position raised before Bernard Larabi three-bet to 85,000 in the hijack. The action folded back around to the original raiser, and he made the call.

When the K♣9♣6♣ flop hit the felt, the early position player quickly check-folded to a continuation bet of 30,000.

Tyler Foran

Level 11 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

There was an open to 40,000, and Leonid Orman three-bet to 85,000 next to act. Antoine Hasbani put in the four-bet jam for 310,000 in the small blind, and the original raiser got out of the way before Orman dropped a chip across the line to call.

Antoine Hasbani: 10♦10♣ All in
Leonid Orman: A♠A♥

The J♥9♣2♣ flop missed both players, and the A♦ turn meant Hasbani was drawing dead. The 7♠ river was just a formality as Hasbani began walking away from the table.

Leonid Orman	2,400,000 2,118,000	2,118,000

Sava Krink

Level 11 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

That wasn't what he wanted when Martin Diaz went all in with A♥6♦ and received a call from Nuri Hadioglu, who held A♦Q♦.

The flop revealed Q♥A♠Q♣, leaving Diaz hoping for the last ace in the deck to survive. Unfortunately, luck wasn't on his side, and he busted out after the turn and river showed 3♠9♦.
