Gresel Doubles Through Bayley

Level 24 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante
Paul Gresel
Paul Gresel

Lawrence Bayley raised in early position, Paul Gresel shoved 208,000 from the small blind, and Bayley snap-called.

Paul Gresel: {9-Spades}{9-Hearts}
Lawrence Bayley: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}

Gresel was in a bad spot and needed help if he were to survive. Help arrived in droves on the {8-Spades}{7-Spades}{5-Spades} flop, making Gresel actually a mathematical favorite to win the hand. The {7-Hearts} on the turn didn't help the Dutchman but the {2-Spades} on the river was one of his many outs.

The two-time WPT Champion collected the pot with a big smile on his face.

Hoedemaker Takes From Bensimhon

Level 24 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

It hasn't been the best phase of Ben Bensimhon's tournament as he just lost another pot. This time, Micha Hoedemaker was the beneficiary. Blind versus blind, Hoedemaker limp-called 65,000, then check-called 65,000 on a {Q-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{8-Hearts} flop.

On the {2-Clubs} turn, Hoedemaker check-called 120,000 from Bensimhon. The {7-Spades} river went check/check, Hoedemaker showed {Q-Spades}{J-Hearts}, and Bensimhon mucked.

Bensimhon Drops Three in a Row; Gresel Doubles

Level 23 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Another lost pot for Bensimhon gave Paul Gresel a double-up. Bensimhon raised from the button and called Paul Gresel's 8 big blind shove from the small blind.

Bensimhon held {6-Clubs}{4-Clubs} against Gresel's {A-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} and Gresel held up on a {5-Spades}{K-Clubs}{Q-Clubs}{K-Hearts}{J-Hearts} rundown.

Bensimhon Drags Heaps From Sluis

Level 23 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Bart Lybaert opened to 35,000 from under the gun and got calls from Ben Bensimhon (middle position), Dwayne Sluis (small blind), and Teun Mulder (big blind). On the {J-Spades}{9-Clubs}{Q-Hearts} flop, all players checked to Bensimhon, who bet 110,000. Sluis was the only caller.

The turn was the {4-Diamonds} and Sluis checked. Bensimhon fired a second barrel worth 180,000, and Sluis called again. The pot was already up to 738,000, with Sluis having 518,000 behind.

Sluis checked the {9-Diamonds} river to Bensimhon. "The Pink Rabbit" opted for a bet of 185,000, which sent Sluis deep in the tank. He decided to call after two minutes, and Bensimhon instantly flipped open {J-Diamonds}{J-Hearts} for jacks full.

Sluis was left with twenty big blinds after the hand.
