Lauck and Stavridis Build Stacks

Level 2 : 75/150, 0 ante

On the {Q-Spades}{7-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{5-Diamonds} river, Aviv Meiri bet 2,700 out of the big blind and Paris Stavridis on the button was his sole opponent. The German with Greek roots eventually called and Meiri turned over {A-Clubs}{10-Spades} for just ace-high. Stavridis had that beat with {9-Clubs}{5-Clubs} and Meiri took off his sunglasses to glance at the board and smile about what had just happened.

One table over, the board lay {7-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{7-Hearts} and Aleksandar Tomovic bet 1,500. Jonas Lauck called in the cutoff and the {6-Clubs} fell on the river. Tomovic now checked and Lauck bet 4,000. After brief consideration, Tomovic called and Lauck rolled over {Q-Clubs}{Q-Spades} for a full house to scoop the pot.

A New Table Opens

Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante

Table five has opened to accommodate new entries and the screens currently show 39 players. [Removed:197] and Jonas Lauck are back for more high roller action, and the new table featuresPierre Neuville, Vlado Banicevic, [Removed:170], Jack Hardcastle and Michael Uguccioni.

In one of the first hands, Banicevic bet the {K-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} flop for 400 and was called by Uguccioni before firing another 1,100 on the {7-Clubs} turn. That won the pot without showdown.

One hand later, Uguccioni raised to 300 and was called by Neuville and Banicevic. On the {10-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{7-Spades} flop, Banicevic checked to Uguccioni and the Italian continued for 500. Both opponents called, then got out of the way on the {Q-Spades} turn to another bet worth 1,500 by Uguccioni.

Tomovic Takes from Monteforte

Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante

Claudio Monteforte has started well and took a few early pots to increase the stack. Fresh off forcing another fold on a jack-high turn, the Italian opened to 300 and one player caller. Aleksandar Tomovic three-bet to 1,500 on the button and Monteforte as well as the third player called.

On the {K-Clubs}{J-Spades}{2-Clubs} flop, all three players checked. Tomovic then bet the {4-Hearts} turn when checked to him, and that forced two folds.

Ivanov Takes from Molaci

Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante

Joining the action on the three-way flop of {J-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{4-Hearts}, Kayhan Molaci in the small blind, Mladen Ivanov in the big blind and initial raiser Dinesh Alt on the button were involved and invested 600 each. Molaci then checked the {4-Spades} turn and Ivanov bet 1,200, Alt and Molaci both called.

On the {A-Clubs} river, the action checked to Ivanov and he bet 3,500. Alt folded after some consideration, but Molaci called and then mucked when Ivanov showed him {K-Clubs}{3-Clubs} for the nut flush.
