Taieb Wants His Revenge

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Roger Taieb
Roger Taieb

A few hours ago, he was dreaming of the Main Event and millions of dollars in prize money. But today was not a good day for Roger Taieb, as he finally busted from the Main Event.

"It's time to take my revenge", said the Frenchman, who arrived after the dinner break, and already has 135,000.

"I was lucky, I cracked aces."

He explained that after a raise to 1,700 in early position, and a call in middle position, he made a squeeze to 7,600 in late position. Only one player called, then on a {j-Spades}{7-Clubs}{7-Spades}{10-Hearts}{9-Hearts} board, Taieb bet flop and turn before shoving river.

His opponent called with {a-}{a-} but Taieb had made a straight {8-}{9-} on the turn and took down a nice pot to start his tournament.

Van Driessche Wins That Battle

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Samuel Bifarella
Samuel Bifarella

After a limp from a player in early position, Samuel Bifarella made it 2,700 from the cutoff. In the small blind, Clement Van Driessche called, so did the limper.

The {a-Hearts}{10-Spades}{6-Spades} flop was checked by Van Driessche and the limper, then Bifarella bet 5,000. Van Driessche was the only player who called. The {k-Diamonds} came on the turn, and the action was the same — a check from Van Driessche, bet 8,000 from Bifarella, and a call from Van Driessche.

The {3-Diamonds} completed that board, and after a third check in the small blind from Van Driessche, Bifarella announced all in for 25,000. Van Driessche called.

Samuel Bifarella: {j-Clubs}{10-Clubs}
Clement Van Driessche: {6-Spades}{6-Diamonds}

Van Driessche's set of sixes was good and sent Bifarella to the rail.

Foxen Wastes No Time

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Alex Foxen
Alex Foxen

After a raise in early position to 2,000, David Santarelli called in the hijack, so did Alex Foxen just after him in the cutoff, Alton Mendleson in the small blind, and the player in the big blind.

On a {6-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{6-Clubs} flop, it checked to Santarelli who announced all in for 21,000. Foxen just called but Mendelson check-raised all in from the small blind. Foxen quickly called.

David Santarelli: {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}
Alex Foxen: {k-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}
Alton Mendleson: {9-Clubs}{6-Clubs}

Santarelli was in trouble with just queens, just like Mendleson, with trips nine like Foxen, but without any good kicker.

The {k-Spades} gave a full house for Foxen, and Mendleson could not win. But Santarelli still played for two outs. The {4-Clubs} river was not one of them and Foxen who in just one orbit already has over 100,000.
