Level 18 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Tobias Bollmann jammed from under the gun for 400,000, and Micaela Arcusin flat called from middle position.

Joachim Vaesen was in the big blind, and seemed to have a decision, but folded.

Tobias Bollmann: 10♦10♣ All in
Micaela Arcusin: A♥A♦

Vaesen claimed he folded pocket jacks.

Bollmann had run into rockets, and was almost drawing dead after the A♣3♦2♦ flop, the 4♠ turn confirming the outcome, and the 10♥ river being a rubdown for Bollmann.

Level 18 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Mark Vella opened to 40,000 from the cutoff, and Sebastian Mortensen defended the big blind.

The J♥10♣7♠ flop was checked to the 5♠ turn, where Mortensen led out with a bet of 70,000, which failed to shake off Vella.

The 3♣ river was checked through, and Vella mucked with frustration when Mortensen tabled 5♥4♦ for fourth pair fives.

Marcello Genna was getting up out of his chair, and his 302,000 stack was being pushed across to Micaela Arcusin, after his A♦8♣ came off worst against Arcusin's K♥K♣ across the Q♦8♥7♥2♥K♦ runout.

Daniele Degennaro: Q♣9♣ All in

Level 18 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Renzo Holling limped from the small blind, and Massimo Rizzoglio raised to 40,000 from the big blind.

Holling went for the limp-raise to 150,000, and snap-called a three-bet jam from Rizzoglio of 290,000.

Massimo Rizzoglio: 7♥5♦ All in
Renzo Holling: K♦K♣

Rizzoglio had picked a bad time to get out of line, running into Holling's cowboys, and there was no escape on the A♠A♣2♠A♦5♣ runout, Holling ending up with the better full house.

Level 18 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Joachim Vaesen opened to 45,000 from the button, and Romain Gachet defended the big blind.

"Every time I'm in a hand you want to play, I must look weak or something" said Vaesen, as the dealer fanned the 9♠7♦6♦ flop.

Gachet check-called a bet of 50,000 from Vaesen to see the K♦ turn, where Gachet checked once more.

Vaesen fired out a bet of 75,000, but was dismayed to be met with a check-raise to 150,000 from Gachet.

Vaesen went into the tank, and started chirping. "Why do I always think you're f*cking strong? You always have it."

Silence from Gachet led to Vaesen continuing "I don't like to play with you, I can't beat you. I don't know what it is, you're running too hot", and folded.
