Kokkalis Runs Queens Into Kings

Level 4 : 150/300, 50 ante
Evangelos Kokkalis
Evangelos Kokkalis

After Esa Karttunen had opened from the cutoff, Evangelos Kokkalis three-bet to 2,200 from the small blind. Karttunnen four-bet to 5,200 and Kokkalis called.

On the {7-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} flop, Kokkalis checked, Karttunen bet 4,500, Kokkalis shoved 19,000, and Karttunen snap-called.

Evangelos Kokkalis: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Spades}
Esa Karttunen: {K-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}

Kokkalis needed one of the remaining queens but neither {7-Clubs} turn nor {10-Clubs} river provided help for the Greek.

Farah Empty-Handed Again

Level 4 : 150/300, 50 ante

Jacques Torbey, Elie Farah, and Raul Cuc each put 3,400 in preflop to buy a {10-Spades}{5-Clubs}{3-Hearts} flop. Cuc and Torbey checked to Farah, who bet 5,500. Cuc folded, Torbey shoved, and Farah called all in for around 20,000.

Jacques Torbey: {5-Hearts}{5-Spades}
Elie Farah: {J-Spades}{J-Diamonds}

Torbey held a commanding lead with his set of fives and remained ahead after the {9-Diamonds} turn and {K-Clubs} river. It's the second and final time Farah busted, as the single re-entry format doesn't allow any more attempts.

Elie Ghazal: {A-Clubs}{4-Hearts}
Danut Chisu: {7-Clubs}{6-Spades}

Ghazal needed an ace or four to survive but the river was a {10-Diamonds} instead.
