Dossetto Wins Big Three-Way All-In

Level 11 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Alain Daien had raised from the under-the-gun position to 2,800 and it was Stephane Dossetto in middle position who three-bet to 7,000. The player in the cutoff, Said El Yousif, four-bet all in for a total of 26,000 and the action was back on Daien.

Daien started talking and stood up from his chair. He eventually five-bet all in himself. The bet was more that the all-in of El Yousif and Dossetto snap-called and immediately tabled {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}. Daien showed {J-Hearts}{10-Hearts} and El Yousif had {Q-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}.

The board ran out {4-Spades}{3-Spades}{10-Spades}{2-Hearts}{8-Clubs} and as soon as the river was dealt it was Dossetto who banged the table with his fist as a way of celebrating that he just won a pot worth 2,5 times the average stack.

Daien and El Yousif both got eliminated and Dossetto started stacking.

Big Double for Vadella

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante
Marcel Vadella
Marcel Vadella

The board already read {10-Hearts}{2-Spades}{3-Spades}{7-Clubs} and the pot had over 26,000 in it. The player in early position had checked to Richard Morlon in the cutoff and he had bet 17,600. On the button, it was Marcel Vadella who moved all in for his last 53,200. The third player in the hand folded and Morlon had a decision to make. He covered Vadella but he would be left with 25,000 if he called and lost the hand. He ended up calling and they opened up.

Morlon was playing {Q-Spades}{10-Spades} for top pair and a flush draw, but he still needed to hit against the {10-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} of Vadella.

The river was the {8-Diamonds} and Vadella managed to hold on to the best hand as he raked in the big pot.

Chips for Calonnec

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

Cicurel Didier limped from the under-the-gun position and Menka Gomis raised to 2,500 from late position. He was called by Jean Calonnec from the small blind and Evangelos Bechrakis from the big blind. Limper Didier joined the party as well and they went four-way to the flop.

The {K-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs} flop was spread out by the dealer and Calonnec decided to lead out with a bet of 3,000. It folded around to the initial raiser, Gomis. Gomis called to see the {5-Hearts} river but he gave up after Calonnec put in another bet of 5,000.

Gomis was left with just 6,500 and he moved all in the next hand. He didn't get called and chipped up a little bit to ten big blinds.

Marrale Wins Three-Way Pot

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

Fabrice Maltez opened the action with a raise to 2,000 from late position and Said El Yousfi called from the button. The big blind, Remi Marrale, called as well to see the flop.

The flop fell {6-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} and all three players checked. The turn was the {Q-Clubs} and it checked to El Yousfi on the button. He decided to put in a bet of 5,000. He was called by Marrale in the big blind and initial raiser Maltez got out of the way.

The {6-Diamonds} was dealt on the river and both players still in the hand opted to check. Marrale showed down {Q-Hearts}{7-Hearts} and that was enough to pick up the pot.
