Long Hand Leads to a Chopped Pot

Level 9 : 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Tzur Levy opened to 2,300 from the cutoff before Reda Sahiaoui three-bet to 9,000 from the small blind. Luis Pinho four-bet jammed from the big blind for over 30,000 and Levy called off for his stack of around 13,000.

Sahiaoui went into the tank for about five minutes before he made the fold and appeared upset after his opponents showed their hands that he didn't call.

Tzur Levy: {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}
Luis Pinho: {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}

The {q-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{j-Spades} flop paired both players but Levy had the better pair.

"Ten," shouted Pinho.

The {8-Clubs} on the turn was not a ten but there was still one more card to come.

"Ten," asked Pinho again.

This time Pinho got his wish and both players chopped the pot with the {10-Clubs} giving both players a broadway straight.

Abreu with Rockets

Level 8 : 400/800, 800 ante

Mateusz Moolhuizen opened for 1,600 from early position. Marco Filipe Da Silva Abreu paused for about a minute before he called. Camel Meriem jacked it up to 6,500 from the small blind. Moolhuizen folded and Abreu four-bet jammed for about 11,000. Meriem snap-called and players turned over their cards.

Camel Meriem: {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}
Marco Felipe Da Silva Abreu: {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}

The {j-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{7-Spades} flop was a good one for Abreu but the {9-Diamonds} on the turn opened up a double gutshot straight draw for Meriem. The {4-Hearts} completed the board on the river and Abreu's aces held strong.

While Meriem came up short this time, he is still in good shape with one of the bigger stacks in the room with about 100,000 in chips.
