Reard Still Climbing

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante
Alexandre Reard
Alexandre Reard

Alexandre Reard opened to 1,700 in early position and Gwennael Belleflamme called from the big blind. The flop came {a-Clubs}{10-Spades}{7-Diamonds} and Belleflamme check-called a bet of 2,200 from Reard.

The turn brought the {6-Diamonds} and Belleflamme checked again. Reard sized up a bet of 6,900 this time which forced Belleflamme to think for a moment before letting his cards go. Reard scooped the pot and is now in the six-figure club as well.

Big Pot Goes to van Brabander

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante
Charlotte van Brabander
Charlotte van Brabander

Asbjorn Elvevold raised it up to 1,800 in the hijack and Charlotte van Brabander called in the cutoff. The current chipleader [Removed:402] three-bet to 6,800 in the big blind and only van Brabander called.

The {10-Spades}{8-Clubs}{3-Spades} flop hit the felt and Rinkevicius led out for 8,200 which van Brabander called. The {k-Spades} landed on the turn and both players checked to the {6-Clubs} on the river.

Rinkevicius fired out another bet of 13,300 which sent van Brabander into the tank. After a couple of minutes, she shoved all in for 31,200. Rinkevicius asked for a count before the clock was finally called on him, which forced him to send his cards to the muck.

Kaarstad Kicks Benchea to the Rail

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Petter Kaarstad
Petter Kaarstad

Petter Kaarstad opened to 2,000 from under the gun and Adam Martinsson called on his left. Next to act was Alexandru Benchea who made it 12,000 to go. The action folded back to Kaarstad who shipped all in and Martinsson quickly folded. Benchea thought for a minute but eventually called off his stack of around 37,000.

Petter Kaarstad: {a-Diamonds}{k-Spades}
Alexandru Benchea: {a-Clubs}{q-Spades}

Kaarstad was in a dominating position and the flop of {9-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{3-Clubs} didn't change anything. The {8-Diamonds} on the turn left Benchea with just three outs and the {a-Spades} on the river was not one of them.

Samuel Quesada
Samuel Quesada

Samuel Quesada raised it up to 2,200 from the hijack and Angelo Tarallo called from the big blind. The flop came {q-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} and Tarallo check-called a bet of 2,200 from Quesada.

The turn brought the {7-Clubs} and Tarallo checked again. Quesada fired out another 4,500 and Tarallo still called to see the {9-Spades} on the river. Tarallo checked for the third time and Quesada was relentless with another bet of 11,000. Tarallo thought for a minute and then made the call.

Quesada turned over {5-Clubs}{4-Clubs} for a flush and Tarallo was unable to beat it.

The dealer spread the flop of {k-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} and Nielsen checked to Elvevold who bet 7,000. Nielsen called and the {10-Clubs} hit the turn. Nielsen check-called another 12,000 and the {9-Spades} completed the board. Nielsen checked once more and Elvevold shoved all in for just over 21,000. Nielsen quickly folded and Elvevold collected the pot.
