Lerbs Doubles via Uguccioni

Richard Hayes

Level 15 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Marcel Lerbs opened to 20,000 in middle position and was called by Michael Uguccioni on the button.

On the Q♥5♦4♠ flop, Lerbs moved all in for 165,000. Uguccioni immediately said "I think I probably have to call my friend". Lerbs shrugged, and Uguccioni asked for the count.

On being informed of the amount, Uguccioni said "You have kings, yes?", to which Lerbs again responded with a shurg. Uguccioni put in calling chips.

Marcel Lerbs: A♥A♠ All in
Michael Uguccioni: A♣Q♠

Lerbs was in great shape for a double-up with aces versus Uguccioni's top pair queens. The 4♦ turn and 10♣ river completed the board, sending Lerbs the double-up.

Level 14 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Chris Dowling raised from early position to 12,000, only to be faced with a three-bet by Roberto Armato in the big blind to 36,000. Dowling called.

On the J♥8♣4♣ flop, Armato slid out a bet of 25,000, only to be met with a raise by Dowling to 60,000. Armato called.

The turn rolled off the K♦, and both players checked their option.

The 8♥ river completed the board. Armato slid out a bet of 75,000, and Dowling moved all in for 260,000.

Armato went into the tank for quite some time, but eventually made the call. Dowling showed A♥10♠ for the ace-high bluff, while Armato had A♣K♥ for two pair, kings and eights.

Dowling was left with just 38,000, and was seen exiting the tournament area shortly after.

Roberto Armato: A♣A♠ All in
Daniel Szymanski: K♦2♦

Armato had top set aces, but still had outs to fade with Szymanski holding the king-high flush draw.

The 6♠ river was a brick, sending Armato a big pot and doing some serious damage to Szymanski.
