Kos Cracks Kings

Ollie Garland

Level 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Sebastian Kos raised from under the gun, Sebastien Lesoif three-bet jammed for 28,000 from the cutoff and Kos called.

Sebastien Lesoif: K♠K♥ All in
Sebastian Kos: 5♣5♥

Lesoif was in a commanding position until the 5♦J♦Q♥ flop reversed their fates. The 3♦ turn and 8♥ river changed nothing; Kos's flopped set cracked kings to send Lesoif to the rail.

Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Olivier Fede raised to 6,000 from the cutoff, the button called and Gyula Rapolti three-bet to 17,500, from the small blind. David Camara Espeso, in the big blind, thought for some time before calling off the bet for his effective stack of 11,000. Fede moved all in for 106,000, the button folded and Rapolti went deep into the tank, eventually making the call.

David Camara Espeso: J♥6♦ All in
Olivier Fede: A♥K♥ All in
Gyula Rapolti: 10♦10♥

The 10♠9♣8♥ flop put Rapolti in a commanding lead for the side pot, while Espeso was now open-ended. The 7♦ completed Espeso's straight draw and the Q♣ river confirmed his triple up. Rapolti's set ensured Fede's departure as well as the huge side pot.

Gyula Rapolti	215,000 177,000	177,000
David Camara Espeso	33,000 33,000	33,000

Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

In a limped pot, Riadh Ben Farhat in the small blind bet 5,000 on 4♦2♠7♦, but Jean-Charles Remaud in the big blind raised to 12,500. Ben Farhat went into the tank and called.

On the Q♥ turn, Remaud fired a second barrel of 15,000. Ben Farhat stared at him again, and eventually check-called.

The 8♦ river completed the board and after Ben Farhat checked, Remaud bet 23,000. Ben Farhat decided to call. Immediately, Remaud sent his cards into the muck, so Ben Farhat won the hand without revealing his cards.

Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Ervin Kuglis raised from the hijack and Eduardo Gonzalez defended in the big blind.

The A♣10♥7♠ flop saw Gonzalez check-call a bet of 3,500 from Kuglis.

The K♣ prompted a second check from Gonzalez. Kuglis sized up to 12,500 and Gonzalez folded, mucking the A♥ to show he let go of at least top pair.

Straight Flush Over Full House

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

A group of players gathered around Table 50 after Ramy Zeraiq on the button was at risk for 35,800 against Aymeric Tanski in the hijack.

Ramy Zeraiq: 6♣6♦ All in
Aymeric Tanski: 7♥7♠

Zeraiq flopped a set on 7♣10♥9♣, then a full house with the 10♣ turn. Tanski was on the edge of elimination, but he amazingly hit the 8♣ river to double up with a runner-runner straight flush.
