Piccioli Lays it Down

Level 2 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

The flop was {j-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{6-Spades} and Ion Tabacaru checked from the small blind to big blind Pavel Svach. He bet 15,000 and Bryan Piccioli, who sat in the cutoff, raised to 50,000. Tabacaru asked for confirmation of the bet because Piccioli had to use a 100,000 chip and eventually folded.

Svach called and the {2-Hearts} turn was added to the board. Both players checked and the {a-Spades} came down on the river. Svach led out with a bet of 100,000 and that was more than enough to make Piccioli fold.

Svach picked up the pot but was still under the starting stack of 1,000,000.

Moolhuizen Four-Bets, Then Folds

Level 2 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Danis Panagopulos raised from the hijack to 14,000 and a very quick three-bet followed by Aleksandr Denisov from the cutoff. It folded to Mateusz Moolhuizen in the small blind and he fired a cold four-bet of 100,000. He was then five-bet by initial raiser Panagopulos.

Denisov quickly folded but Moolhuizen had a tougher decision. He used up one time bank card before eventually releasing his hand.

Koleno and Hammerl Check it Down

Level 2 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Stanislav Koleno sat on the button when it folded to him and he raised to 15,000. Joel Gonzalo folded in the small blind but big blind Thomas Hammerl called to see the {k-Hearts}{j-Spades}{9-Clubs} flop.

They both checked to see the {q-Spades} on the turn and they checked again to see the {2-Spades} on the river. The deuce on the river didn't induce any action as both checked for the third time in a row and the pot was pushed to Koleno who showed {7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}.

Bad Start for Simunic

Level 1 : 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Josip Simunic is part of the partypoker pro team but that didn't help him early on Day 1a. Simunic saw the {k-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{3-Spades}{6-Hearts} board when it was checked to him with about 250,000 in the pot.

Simunic fired a bet of 135,000 from the button and his opponent in the under-the-gun position had to use a time bank card before he called.

Simunic opened up {a-Clubs}{4-Clubs} but that wasn't enough to win when his opponent showed {q-Spades}{q-Hearts}.
