Stuer Takes Down Back to Back Pots

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante

Julian Stuer has chipped up after winning a couple of significant pots.

First, he made the right call when he bet 3,300 on the river on a {2-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{a-Hearts} board and called an 18,000 raise by Dylan Linde. Turning over {a-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}, Linde showed {10-Hearts}{7-Spades} for a missed straight draw.

The very next hand, one player opened 1,800 and Stuer called behind. Linde raised to 8,600, the initial raiser four-bet to 19,000 and Stuer five-bet all in, which was enough to put both their tournament lives on the line. They both passed and Stuer added another decent chunk to his stack.

Neuville Leads the River

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante

The action folded around to the button who made it 2,100 to go. Pierre Neuville called from the small blind along with Sylvain Loosli in the big blind. The flop came {j-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} and both Neuville and Loosli checked to the button who bet 3,100. Neuville was the only one to call.

The turn brought the {5-Hearts} and both players checked to the {7-Hearts} on the river. Neuville led out for 3,000 and his opponent quickly mucked his cards, sending the pot to Neuville.

Chalot Wins Small Pot From Konnikova

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante

Maria Konnikova opened the betting to 1,600. The blinds both called and they went to the flop. It came {j-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} and when checked to, Konnikova continued for 900. Benjamin Chalot was the only caller and the dealer put out a {7-Clubs} on the turn. When Chalot checked, Konnikova made it 1,800 and once again Chalot called. The river was an {a-Hearts} and this time both players checked. Chalot showed {9-Spades}{9-Hearts} and netted the pot.

Alexander Doubles Through Frank

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante

Bart Lybaert limped in from the hijack and Christopher Frank raised it up to 2,800 from the small blind. James Alexander quickly shoved all in for 15,100 in the big blind and Lybaert got out of the way. Frank asked for a count and then made the call.

James Alexander: {a-Spades}{10-Diamonds}
Christopher Frank: {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}

The flop came {a-Clubs}{9-Spades}{3-Diamonds} and Alexander took the lead with a pair of aces.

"You deserved that," Lybaert said, referring to Frank's slow-roll with pocket kings. The {3-Hearts} on the turn and the {j-Hearts} on the river never changed anything and Alexander earned himself a double up.
