Aldemir Over Darie

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Both checked the {9-Diamonds} and the {8-Diamonds} made the board both paired and four-flushed. Darie checked and folded to 13,600.

Martino Doubles Through Ben Yosef

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

Joining the action on the {10-Hearts}{3-Spades}{2-Clubs}{2-Hearts} turn, Fiodor Martino checked out of the big blind and Assaf Ben Yosef bet 7,200 on the button. Martino check-raised all in for 33,000 and Ben Yosef reluctantly called.

Fiodor Martino: {J-Spades}{2-Spades}
Assaf Ben Yosef: {A-Clubs}{10-Clubs}

A ten and a ten only could bust Martino, but the {7-Clubs} on the river was a blank for Ben Yosef, who lost around one fourth of his stack.

When we arrived, the flop of {K-Spades}{8-Hearts}{6-Clubs} was already out and the big blind and Thomas Muehloecker (middle position) had already checked. Asi Moshe bet 9,500 from the hijack and the big blind folded. Muehloecker called.

The {2-Hearts} on the turn saw Muehloecker check again. Moshe bet 12,500 and Muehloecker called.

Both players checked the {K-Hearts} on the river and Muehloecker showed a winner with {K-Clubs}{J-Spades}, Moshe mucked.

Cooler Favors Cimbolas

Matas Cimbolas
Matas Cimbolas

Matas Cimbolas had a bet of 20,000 in front of him in the cutoff when we got to his table and was facing a check-raise to 47,000. The board read {q-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{k-Clubs}, and Cimbolas' neighbor, Marco Regonaschi, had put in the raise. Cimbolas told the dealer he was all in and Regonaschi called in short order.

Regonaschi: {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}
Cimbolas: {j-Spades}{10-Spades}

The turn was a {j-Diamonds} and the river a {2-Clubs}, changing nothing. Cimbolas had 99,300 and collected a full double with his straight.

Bernatavicius Bows Out

Level 13 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

A preflop raising war saw Thomas Mercier and Gytis Bernatavicius all in with near even stacks and both tabled premium hands.

Thomas Mercier: {K-Spades}{K-Diamonds}
Gytis Bernatavicius: {Q-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}

The board came {J-Spades}{7-Clubs}{2-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} and Bernatavicius was ready to leave. "I have 104k, I think you have more," Mercier said and his stack was counted to be for 104,400. Bernatavicius indeed had more than that, but it was a mere 200 chips and those vanished the next hand with {A-Clubs}{2-Clubs} against the {10-Spades}{10-Hearts} of Jean-Jacques Zeitoun, who flopped a set.

Veloso's Hero Call at the Wrong Time

Level 13 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

A raise to 5,300 by Sérgio Filipe Veloso was three-bet by Kalidou Sow, who made it 12,500 to go. Veloso called and checked the flop of {10-Hearts}{10-Spades}{8-Spades}, Sow checked behind. On the {8-Clubs} turn, Veloso check-called a bet of 13,000 and left himself 60,000 behind to check again on the {6-Diamonds} river.

Sow bet 100,000 to set his opponent in, and the Portuguese indeed called it off with the {A-Hearts}{J-Clubs}. Sow had the {A-Spades}{A-Clubs} and raked in a massive pot, while some players at the table could barely believe what had just happened.

Parker Talbot Eliminated

Level 13 : 1,200/2,400, 400 ante

"Seat Open!" we heard. As we came closer, we saw that Raffaele Sorrentino was stacking while Parker Talbot was making his exit. We later learned that Sorrentino had opened and Talbot had shoved for about 20 big blinds, according to Sorrentino. Sorrentino called with kings and easily won against Talbot's eights.
