Spir Flops an Unorthodox Straight

Maxime Taldir

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Claude Mamalepot opened to 900 from middle position and he was called by the button and by David Spir in the small blind.

All three of them checked the 3♣6♥5♠ leading to the A♣ turn, where Spir checked again. Mamalepot bet 2,600 and made the button fold, but Spir check-raised to 6,600.

Mamalepot eventually called, then went into the tank when Spir bet 13,500 on the A♠ turn. After a few seconds, Mamalepot called but his cards went into the muck after Spir flipped over 7♥4♠ for a flopped straight.

Level 2 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

Ludovic Periaux opened to 600 from middle position, and he was called by the player to his left. In the cutoff, Mathieu Di Meglio three-bet to 3,100, but Gheorghe Fedorca on the button four-bet to 7,700.

All the other players folded to Di Meglio, who moved all-in for 23,500. Fedorca snap-called.

Mathieu Di Meglio: A♣K♥ All in
Gheorghe Fedorca: Q♦Q♥

The dealer fanned a board of 10♣4♣3♥6♦2♦, where Fedorca kept the lead until the end to send Di Meglio to the rail.

Level 2 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

On a flop of 5♣8♥Q♥, Birger Larsen in the cutoff bet 2,700, then called after Luca Bensimon under the gun raised to 6,000.

Both players decided to check the 3♥ turn. But on the Q♣ river, Bensimon bet 8,000.

Larsen went into the tank for a few seconds, and called. But he seemed pretty unhappy when Bensimon flipped over A♥5♥ for the nut flush.

Level 2 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

Four-way on a flop of 9♦Q♦K♥, Benjamin Souriau under the gun bet 1,000, and Adrien Amorella in the small blind was the only one to call.

The 10♦ brought no action as both players checked, but on the 5♠ river, Souriau bet 2,100.

Amorella found a call with K♣10♥ to discover that Souriau with K♠10♣ had the same hand, so they split the pot.

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

After a player limped from under the gun, Amnaye Moussakhkhar to his left raised to 600. Jean-François Gaye on the button called, as well as the blinds and the initial raiser.

All five players around the table discovered a flop of 5♥4♦A♣, where Moussakhkhar continued for 2,100. Gaye was the only one to call.

The J♥ came on the turn, and Moussakhkhar fired a second barrel of 3,200. Gaye quickly raised to 40,000, more than Moussakhkhar's stack. He eventually called with the 18,200 chips he had left.

Amnaye Moussakhkhar: A♥9♦ All in
Jean-François Gaye: 3♦2♦

Moussakhkhar called with top pair but he ran into Gaye's flopped straight. The 7♠ completed the board and Moussakhkhar was sent to the rail.
