Dumas Bests Iche

Richard Hayes

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Day 2 chip leader Mohamed Iche appears to have got off to a strong start, and was playing over 2,600,000 as he opened to 40,000 from early position, with Jordan Dumas defending his big blind.

On the Q♠6♠4♥ flop, Dumas checked to Iche, who fired out a bet of 90,000. Dumas thought it through, counted his chips, and produced a check-raise to 90,000. Iche folded, flashing the A♦ as he did so.

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Youcef Benzerfa opened to 45,000 from under the gun, and he was called by the player to his left. Paolo Barbati on the button shoved for 345,000, then Louis Linard in the small blind went into the tank. He decided to call.

When it was his turn to act again, Benzerfa moved all-in for 780,000. The player to his left said he folded JxJx, and Linard called Benzerfa's stack.

Paolo Barbati: 9♣9♥ All in
Youcef Benzerfa: Q♦Q♣ All in
Louis Linard: K♦K♥

Linard was on his way to take a massive pot, but Barbati flopped a set on the 8♥9♠6♦ to possibly triple up.

The 4♦ didn't change anything, but the Q♥ came on the river to give top set to Benzerfa who tripled up, while Barbati was eliminated.

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

The board read 8♠A♥5♠A♥3♥ and at least 600,000 was in the middle, in a hand between [Removed:467] and Vladimer Gigolashvili.

Al Sayegh asked the dealer to spread the monster pot so he could see its true size, and then asked his opponent how much he had behind. Gigolashvili confirmed the sum was 200,000 and Al-Sayegh immediately announced he was all-in. Gigolashvili made the quick call.

Al Sayegh showed A♦5♣ for the full house, and Gigolashvili sighed and turned over K♥K♣ for two pair aces and kings, congratulating his opponent as he gathered his things and left the table.

Cards went on their backs on Table 371, with Ilan Cohen in the small blind at risk for 175,000 against Darius Neagoe under the gun.

Ilan Cohen: A♠Q♣ All in
Darius Neagoe: A♦K♣

"A little queen please," asked Cohen a few times. He was not heard on the 5♥6♦6♠ flop, but the Q♥ came on the turn to save him, so he doubled up after the A♥ river.

Level 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Action folded to Mikael Ifergan on the button, who opened to 35,000, with Florian Lebaigue defending his big blind.

Lebaigue check-called a bet of 25,000 from his opponent on the K♣K♠9♣ flop.

On the 5♦ turn, Lebaigue checked once more. Ifergan fired out a bet of 45,000, and after a brief period of thought, Lebaigue check-raised to 90,000, the minimum amount. Despite it not being much more to continue, Ifergan sent his hand to the muck.
