Level 15 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

A pot of around 80,000 had brewed on a completed board of 9♣6♦4♣5♣J♠, in a hand between Noortje Verstegen and Benjamin Hammann.

Verstegen jammed the river for around 95,000, and Hamman went deep into the tank.

After at least two minutes of thought, Hamman sighed and sent his cards to the dealer, with Verstegen letting out a deep exhale of breath in relief after his cards hit the muck.

Level 15 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Around 50,000 was in the middle already on a flop of Q♥8♣2♦, in a hand between Francesco Pillitteri in early position and Julien Breuil in middle position.

Pillitteri check-called versus a bet of 15,000, to bring about the 5♠ turn. That street was checked through to the K♥ river, where both players were content to go to showdown.

Pillitteri tabled 3♣3♥ for a pair of threes, but Breuil had the best of it with J♥J♠.

Francesco Pillitteri	340,000 255,000	255,000

Level 15 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Hassan Sey opened to 6,500 from the cutoff, and was met with a three-bet jam to 91,500 from Sabare Atmani in the small blind.

Matteo Condemi was in the big blind, and after asking for a count and some further thought, he cold-called, forcing Sey to get out of the way.

Sabare Atmani: Q♥J♦ All in
Matteo Condemi: J♣J♥

Atmani looked in trouble with a single overcard, but the K♦10♠4♦ flop brought hope, giving him an up and down straight draw.

The 2♠ turn was a brick, but the Q♣ hit on the river to send Atmani the double-up with a pair of queens.

Player	Chips	Progress
Hassan Sey	990,000 5,000	5,000
Sabare Atmani	185,000 63,000	63,000

Level 15 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Dionke Ba opened to 6,000 from early position, and was met with a three-bet jam to 33,000 from Eric Denizart. Action folded back to Ba, who called after a brief period of thought.

Eric Denizart: J♥J♠ All in
Dionke Ba: 4♠4♥

Denizart had Ba crushed, and he ended up with the higher flush after the four heart K♥Q♥Q♣A♥6♥ runout sent him the double-up.

Ruggeri Forced to Fold River

Richard Hayes

Level 15 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Irish Open 2025 runner-up Umberto Ruggeri opened to 6,000 from the cutoff, and received a call from Miguel Coussement in the big blind,

Coussement check-called a bet of 11,500 from Ruggeri on the A♠7♦5♦ flop, leading to the 9♣ turn.

Here Coussement changed approach, leading out with a bet of 13,000. Ruggeri seemed slightly perplexed by the change in tact, and took quite a while before he made the call.

The 6♥ river completed the board, bringing one-card straight possibilities. Coussement took around 90 seconds before firing out a bet of 70,000.

Ruggeri sighed and sat back in his chair, before he ultimately sent his cards to the dealer after about two minutes of thought.
