Girdhari First Seat Open

Level 2 : 100/200, 25 ante
Amit Girdhari
Amit Girdhari

Leonardo Armino raised from under the gun and Amit Girdhari then three-bet from one seat over to get called by Ian Simpson in the big blind only. On the flop {5-Spades}{A-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}, Simpson check-called a bet worth 3,000 and the dealer then burned and turned the {9-Hearts}. Simpson checked, Girdhari bet 7,000 and faced a check-raise all in to call it off.

Girdhari: {A-Spades}{Q-Spades}
Simpson: {5-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}

The Dutchman was already drawing dead, making the {2-Diamonds} a formality, and the hyper aggressive playing style of Simpson paid off early.

Flamand's Stack is in Flames

Level 2 : 100/200, 25 ante

While walking past the table of Sam Grafton, a big stack caught the attention and that belonged to Dennis Lavrijsen. The Dutchman just bet 4,700 into a pot of 8,500 on a board of {J-Clubs}{Q-Spades}{7-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{8-Clubs} and his table neighbor folded.

Lavrijsen was also responsible for the second seat open. He flat-called a raise and a call out of the big blind with {A-}{8-} and flopped two pair on {A-}{8-}{5-}. Lavrijsen check-called a continuation bet worth 650 by Stefan Flamand before the {7-} fell on the turn. Lavrijsen bet 1,700 and Flamand raised to 4,000 to receive a call from the Dutchman.

On the {2-} river, Lavrijsen check-called the shove of his opponent from Belgium and Flamand's stack went up in flames when he had to show a busted king-high flush draw to join the rail.
