Abdellatif Takes From Diotte

Level 24 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

Action folded around to Anthony Diotte in the cutoff and he raised to 70,000. Jonathan Abdellatif was in the big blind and decided to defend.

The flop came {a-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} and Abdellatif checked.

Diotte thought for a moment and bet 65,000. Abdellatif weighed his options and went for a check-raise to 180,000.

Diotte went into the tank for three full minutes before deciding to fold, sending the pot to Abdellatif.

These two players have switched players on the leader board, and Diotte now sits as the short stack with Abdellatif being the second-shortest.

Diotte Gives Up

Level 24 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

In the hijack, Anthony Diotte raised to 70,000 out of a 615,000 stack. The cutoff folded but Denis Timofeev on the button three-bet to 185,000. With 545,000 behind, Diotte had just two options according to the commentators; push or fold.

Diotte tanked about it for several minutes before Salmon called the clock. Diotte eventually chose to fold, leaving the pot to Timofeev.

Abdellatif Doubles With Aces to Salmon's Kings

Level 24 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

Kenneth Smaron was first to act and raised to 70,000. Jonathan Abdellatif, the second shortest stack at the table, three-bet to 190,000 from the button.

James Salmon shoved for 1,365,000 from the small blind and the big blind and Smaron both instantly folded. Abdellatif called just as quick as his decision was quite easy.

James Salmon: {K-Spades}{K-Clubs}
Jonathan Abdellatif: {A-Spades}{A-Clubs}

The {A-Hearts}{4-Spades}{6-Diamonds} flop just about settled it. Just running kings could save Salmon, but it wasn't going to happen. The {7-Diamonds} on the turn and {2-Spades} on the river were blanks and Abdellatif more than doubled.

Smaron Snags a Million-Chip Pot

Level 24 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

Jonathan Abdellatif raised to 65,000 from the hijack, and Kenneth Smaron quickly three-bet to 210,000 from the small blind. Abdellatif instantly called the raise. Clearly both players meant business, because neither of them took any time with their decisions.

The flop came {9-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} and Smaron led out for 210,000. Abdellatif wasted no time and called quickly again.

The turn was the {6-Clubs}. This time, Smaron took his time. After a full minute, he led out for 440,000. Abdellatif folded.

Timofeev thought about it for a bit before he folded. Smaron tanked for a bit as well but eventually did the same; he folded too.
