Snowmen Good to Sepponen

Richard Hayes

Level 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Eetu Sepponen was all-in for 55,000 and at risk versus Aiguo Xu.

Eetu Sepponen: 8♦8♠ All in
Aiguo Xu: A♠K♦

Sepponen was ahead in a race, and Xu bricked the Q♠4♠4♣Q♣2♥ runout. "You thought one of those fours was an ace, didn't you" joked a tablemate with Sepponen, as he raked in the pot.

Level 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Andoni Martinez limp-called in the small blind in the face of a raise to 8,000 from Darren Harbinson in the big blind.

The J♠9♦8♦ flop was checked through to the 7♠ turn, where Martinez check-called a bet of 7,000 from Harbinson.

The K♦ river was checked through immediately, so quick in fact that Martinez had to check Harbinson had checked behind.

He had, and tabled A♦K♠ for the rivered pair of kings. The reason for Martinez's request for clarity became clear as he tabled 8♠7♣ for the turned two pair.

Player	Chips	Progress
Andoni Martinez	300,000 251,000	251,000
Darren Harbinson	142,000 54,000	54,000

Francesco Serra was all-in for 24,000 and art risk versus Victor Fernandez.

Francesco Serra: 3♦3♥ All in
Victor Fernandez: J♠10♠

Serra was ahead in a race, but that didn't last long after the J♣8♣7♣ flop gave Fernandez top pair.

Serra picked up outs to the chop after the 2♣ turn, but the 9♥ river improved Fernandez to the jack-high straight.

Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

A pot of around 75,000 had developed on a completed board of Q♠8♦4♣6♣8♥, in a hand between Marios Zerevoudis in middle position and Mariona Riba on the button.

Zerevoudis fired out a bet of 40,000, and Riba took some time to think. After around 90-seconds, she jammed for around 120,000, earning a snap-fold from her opponent, who tapped the table as Riba raked in the pot.
