Albers Spikes River to Bin Ba

Richard Hayes

Level 20 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

There was 25,000 in front of Erwin Vu Duc and Gertjan Albers, before Dionke Ba three-bet jammed for 137,000. Vu Duc took an age to think it through, and eventually the clock was called. As his time was about to run out, he folded.

Albers had a quick peek at his cards, and said "Bonne chance" to his opponent before flicking in a calling chip.

Dionke Ba: A♥Q♦ All in
Gertjan Albers: A♣3♣

Ba had Albers dominated, and looked to be heading for a double-up after the J♣10♠4♠ flop and 4♦ turn.

However the 3♥ rolled off on the river in cruel fashion to send Ba to the rail.

Level 20 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Marco Walgreen opened to 20,000 from early position, and Krzysztof Grubka defended the big blind.

Grubka check-called a bet of 19,000 from Walgreen on the K♦J♦10♥ flop.

The 7♠ hit on the turn, and Grubka checked once more. Walgreen fired out a bet of 45,000, and after a bit of thought, Grubka decided that was too heavy a price to continue in the hand.

Level 21 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Dean Clay was all-in for 409,000 and at risk versus Anass Chergui.

Dean Clay: A♦K♣ All in
Anass Chergui: A♠K♦

A split pot seemed all but certain, but the sweat was on for Chergui after the A♣5♣2♣ flop left Clay freerolling.

The Q♥ turn was a brick, but the 9♣ hit on the river to send Clay a crucial double-up, and over the one million mark.

Level 21 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Albert Hoekendijk opened to 30,000 under the gun, and was met with a three-bet to 110,000 from Evert Rosseel in the next seat.

Action folded back to Hoekendijk, who quickly four-bet jammed for his 240,000 total stack. He was dismayed to see Rosseel make a snap-call.

Albert Hoekendijk: A♥Q♣ All in
Evert Rosseel: A♣A♠

Rosseel had woken up with the goods, and Hoekendijk was drawing dead by the turn on the 10♥9♥9♠10♠10♦ runout.

Full House for Slila

Level 21 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

In a hand that took close to ten minutes to complete, Simone Demasi opened to 25,000 under the gun, and received calls from Vilmos Farkas and Kader Slila in the blinds.

The 10♣9♣4♣ flop was eventually checked through to the 3♠ turn, where Farkas led out with a bet of 20,000, which failed to shake off either opponent.

The 9♥ river completed the board. Farkas fired again with a downsized bet of 30,000, and Slila responded with a raise to 115,000. Demasi ultimately folded after a large period of thought, and after more deliberation, Farkas called.

He was shown the bad news when Slila tabled 3♥3♣ for the turned full house.
