Margets Gets a Boost

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Leo Margets
Leo Margets

Renato Minicuci opened to 13,000 from under the gun before Leo Margets put in her last 15,000 from the cutoff. Thiago Crema jammed from the big blind for 88,000 which prompted Minicuci to fold.

Leo Margets: {a-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}
Thiago Crema: {a-Clubs}{10-Spades}

Margets was dominated but found a lifeline on the {q-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} flop. She hit her flush on the {10-Diamonds} turn to lock up the hand and the {6-Clubs} river completed the board.

Shortly after, Crema was eliminated from the PSPC.

Holz and Petitprez Play a 10-Minute Hand

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Maxime Petitprez opened to 12,000 in middle position and was called by Christopher Day in the small blind. Fedor Holz three-bet to 55,000 from the big blind and Petitprez called while Day stepped aside.

The flop came {j-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{2-Spades} and both players checked to the {k-Diamonds} on the turn. Holz led out with a bet of 35,000 and Petitprez called, both taking a couple of minutes to complete each action.

The river was the {q-Clubs} and Holz eventually slid out another bet of 48,000. Petitprez asked for a count and spent some more time in the tank before making the call. Holz tabled {k-Spades}{9-Diamonds} for top pair and Petitprez was unable to beat it.

Other players were up and about stretching their legs during the course of the hand and were finally able to sit down and look at some cards again.

There was around 90,000 in the pot on the {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{2-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{6-Clubs} completed board. Timothy Adams, with 70,000 behind, checked from the small blind. Pedro Marques bet 55,000 out of his 56,000 chip stack from under the gun.

Adams went into the tank and then called. He quickly mucked after seeing Marques had a pair of aces with {a-Hearts}{j-Hearts}.

The next hand, Adams put in his last 20,000 from the button and Marques called from the big blind.

Timothy Adams: {q-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}
Pedro Marques: {7-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}

Adams was the only player to connect on the {q-Spades}{9-Clubs}{2-Spades}{a-Hearts}{4-Clubs} and he received a little rebate from Marques.

Mats Rosen: {q-Clubs}{q-Hearts}
Alejandro Lococo: {a-Spades}{k-Spades}

Gumz Gives Up

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Action was caught on the {a-Clubs}{7-Spades}{3-Spades}{j-Diamonds} board with around 37,000 in the middle. Fabian Gumz made a slightly bigger than pot-size bet and put an extra 38,000 into the pot from the small blind. Julien Sitbon, in the big blind, eyed his opponent up and called.

The {8-Hearts} river checked through and Gumz tabled six-high with his {6-Hearts}{4-Clubs}. Sitbon, with {j-Spades}{10-Clubs}, won the pot with a pair of jacks.
