"Call, Call, Call, and Now You Fold?"

Level 6 : 300/500, 500 ante

Luigi Macaluso bet 6,000 into a pot of a bit more with the {8-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{10-Spades} on the board and a player registered under the nickname Tely made the call.

Macaluso bet 6,000 again after the {4-Hearts} came on the turn and Tely made the call.

The {q-Spades} completed the board on the river. Tely jammed his remaining stack of 15,000 in chips.

"Why, why, why?" Tely asked immediately after his opponent's bet.

"You call, call, call, and now you fold," Macaluso asked.

The duo continued to banter for a couple of minutes.

"I know you are going to fold," said Macaluso.

"You have ace-king," said Tely.

"If I have ace-king, you win," responded Macaluso. "I see it in your eyes you will fold."

Tely eventually did fold and showed his the table he held {k-Hearts}{10-Hearts}.

"I will show," said Macaluso as he turned over {a-Clubs}{7-Spades} for a missed draw.

"I knew it," said Tely as he stood up from the table for a moment.

Ace-Seven Doesn't Get There for Gouhier

Meanwhile, Daouhadji is among the chip leaders with a stack of around 100,000 in chips.

Thin Value for Kool Shen

Level 5 : 200/400, 400 ante

Bruno Lopes, also known as the French rapper Kool Shen, just found some thin value against a Spanish player with the nickname Cesar.

Lopes opened from the hijack to 1,000 before he called a three-bet from Cesar from the button to 3,200.

Lopes check-called a bet of 2,400 after the {6-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{8-Clubs} came on the flop and both players checked after the {2-Clubs} came on the turn.

The {5-Spades} completed the board on the river and Lopes fired out for 4,500. Cesar paused for about 30 seconds before he made the call.

Lopes missed the board but got value anyway as he turned over {a-Clubs}{k-Spades} and Cesar tossed his hand into the muck.

Fortuitous River for Bennani

Level 5 : 200/400, 400 ante

Cristiano Ferriera Lopes bet 2,500 into a pot of more than 4,000 with the {7-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{4-Spades}{4-Hearts} on the board. Phillippe Gouhier called before Driss Bennani jammed for 10,600.

Lopes tanked for a couple of minutes before he called and Gouhier quickly folded.

Driss Bennani: {9-Spades}{6-Spades}
Cristiano Ferriera Lopes: {j-Clubs}{j-Spades}

Bennani needed a spade to stay alive and to more than double his stack. That is exactly what happened with the {k-Spades} completing the board on the river.
