Aguiar Continues to Soar

Calum Grant

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Unibet Ambassador Arnaud Enselme opened to 1,500 from under the gun, and his colleague Alexandre Reard folded from the next seat over. "RSM" called from middle position, as did Edgar Aguiar and Goerges Forge from the button and big blind.

On the Q♠5♥4♠ flop, the action checked to RSM and they bet 3,200. Aguiar called before the remaining players folded.

RSM fired out another 4,000 on the Q♦ turn, and was called. The 6♠ river then checked through to showdown.

RSM had 2x2x but was pipped to the pot by the chip leader's J♦5♦.

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Sebastien Guinand opened to 2,000 from under the gun and was called by "Ronald" and "8" from the cutoff and button. El Mehdi Mbarek then three-bet to 9,000 from the small blind. The raise only thinned the hand by one player, with Ronald deciding to go on his break.

Mbarek continued for 3,500 on the 9♦7♥3♠ flop, and Guinand called. 8 then moved all in for his last 7,500. Mbarek and Guinand stuck around.

Mbarek check-folded to a bet of 10,000 on the J♥ turn for the cards to go on their backs.

8: A♠9♥ All in
Sebastien Guinand: 8♣8♦

8 had the better pair and tripled up after the 5♣ completed the board.

Player	Chips	Progress
Ronald	140,000
8	51,000

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

Dawoud Berbiale opened to 2,000 from under the gun before Henri Dupont made it 6,000 from the next seat over. Salah Eddine Taleb called from the cutoff, and Berbiale also kept himself in contention.

The action checked to Taleb on the A♦8♣8♦ flop. Berbiale was the only caller. The 7♦ turn and 4♥ river checked through to showdown. Berbiale's A♥3♥ was good for the aces and eights to take the pot.

On the next deal, Dupont raised to 2,000. Aubin De Kermadec reraised to 5,500, prompting Benalo Zerrouki to four-bet to 15,500 from the cutoff. Roger Tondeur committed his last 11,000 from the button. Dupont folded before De Kermadec called.

De Kermadec led out on the 9♣9♦7♣ flop, and Zerrouki snap-folded for the cards to turn over.

Roger Tondeur: 8♣6♣ All in
Aubin De Kermadec: QxQx

Tondeur was behind but had an open-ended straight flush draw for plenty of hope. However, the baord bricked out with the 9♠A♠ and De Kermadec scooped in the pot.

Player	Chips	Progress
Salah Eddine Taleb	150,000 20,000	20,000

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

"Pot and pot" raised to 2,000 from under the gun before Denis Vladmirov made it 7,000 from the hijack. "Belmehdi" cold-called from the cutoff and then the action folded to Mohamadou Abilil in the big blind. He mulled over his options before raising to 22,000. Belmehdi was the only caller.

Abilil continued for 25,000 on the Q♦8♣6♦ flop and was called.

On the 10♥ turn, Abilil had 115,000 behind, and fired out another 50,000. Belmehdi jammed as the bigger stack, and was snap-called.

Mahamadou Abilil: A♣A♥ All in
Belmehdi: 10♠10♦

Belmehdi turned a set of tens to leapfrog the aces, much to Abilil's dismay. The latter left the table in disgust as the 4♠ river confirmed his departure.

With the pot, Belmehdi became the new chip leader.
