Polato Takes the Lead

Ollie Garland

Level 23 : Blinds 7,000/14,000, 14,000 ante

The hijack opened to 28,000 and received one call from Thierry Polato, in the cutoff.

The hijack checked the action over to Polato, who took the lead for 35,000 on the Q♦A♦9♣ flop.

The 4♠ turn saw the hijack check again. Polato didn't take long to slide out a stack of blue chips that looked to be around 100,000; enough to earn a snap-fold from his opponent.

The pot had already grown to a sizable 300,000 with two players looking at a full board of 10♥2♠3♣5♠J♣.

The big blind checked the action over to Quentin Le Dissez, in the hijack, who moved all in for his effective stack of 220,000. The big blind thought on his decision for a considerable amount of time before finally choosing to concede the pot to Le Dissez.

Michael Rando raised to 32,000 from the cutoff and Sonny Franco called in the big blind.

Franco checked at the sight of the 7♠6♣5♣ flop. Rando continued for 30,000 and Franco check-raised to 64,000. Rando called.

The 8♦ turn saw Franco slow down as he check-called a bet of 70,000, from Rando.

The 8♠ river saw Franco play out of flow, leading for 39,000. Rando made a quick call. Franco tabled 4♣3♦, having flopped a straight, while Rando won this pot with A♠9♠, for a turned higher straight.

Level 24 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Bilel Mebarki moved all in for his last 144,000 from the cutoff. The small blind called and the hand went to a showdown.

Bilel Mebarki: A♦9♠ All in
Small Blind: A♥K♥

Mebarki was all in and behind and the 6♣7♠2♦ didn't prove much help. However, the 9♥ turn peeled and Mebarki exclaimed "Oui!". The 4♦ changed nothing and Mebarki pulled in front to secure the full double-up.

Florence Mazet, who was also at the same table, has also chipped up to approximately 900,000.

Player	Chips	Progress
Florence Mazet	900,000 160,000	160,000
Bilel Mebarki	295,000 85,000	85,000

Lewis Is Buidling a Wall

Ollie Garland

Level 24 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

The player under the gun opened to 36,000 and Winamax Team Pro member, Romain Lewis, defended in the small blind.

The dealer spread the 7♥6♠A♦ flop, which saw Lewis play in flow. The original raiser bet out 52,000 and Lewis quickly got out of the way.

This small pot made little to no dent in Lewis' mountain of chips as his stack seemingly occupied most of the table. With 1,500,000 in front of him, Lewis is over double the average stack at this blind level.
