Hero Call from Di Meglio Sends Ticherfatine to the Rail

Ryan Lashmar

Level 7 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

With the board reading J♥8♣5♦5♣J♠ and about 20,000 already in the middle, Mathieu Di Meglio had bet 17,500 in position only for Cecile Ticherfatine to move all in for approximately 35,000, sending Di Meglio into the tank.

After about two minutes Di Meglio flicked in the call. Ticherfatine revealed 2♠2♣ and was playing the board after her pocket pair was counterfeited. Mathieu Di Meglio tabled Q♠10♥ for just a queen kicker to the two pair that was on the board, which was enough to take the pot down and eliminate Ticherfatine.

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

"Tsunamy" opened to 3,000 from under the gun and Amina Berrada called from the hijack. "IgnaPoker" then called from the button before Sorin Pruteanu three-bet to 11,000 from the small blind. "Tsunamy" got out of the way before Berrada moved all in for approximately 50,000. "IgnaPoker" folded while Pruteanu snap-called with a covering stack.

Amina Berrada: K♣Q♠
Sorin Pruteanu: A♠A♣

The board ran out 7♣9♦3♦K♦6♣ and although Berrada had made top pair it was not good enough to best Pruteanu's aces. Berrada was sent to the rail while Pruteanu took down a sizable pot.

Meanwhile at another table, Florian Espiasse was recently eliminated.

Level 9 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Thierry Dinael opened to 3,000 from under the gun and Ilan Chicheportiche three-bet to 8,000 from middle position. Viet Phung made the call from the button and Dinael also called.

The flop came A♣2♠J♦. Dinael checked, Chicheportiche bet 19,000, Phung called and Dinael got out of the way.

On the 6♣ turn Chicheportiche checked, Phung moved all in for 75,000 and Chicheportiche made the call with a covering stack.

Viet Phung: J♥J♣
Ilan Chicheportiche: A♠K♦

Chicheportiche had made top pair but was drawing dead on the turn against Phung's set of jacks. The A♦ river gave Phung a full house over his opponent's trip aces and he collected a full double up at the expense of Chicheportiche.
