Jam Turn, Snap Call

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Action was picked up on a flop of 7♥8♥6♦. Serge Chechin led into the field for 1,700. It then made it to the button and Alok Arora min-clicked it to 3,400. The remaining players folded and Chechin called.

The turn brought a Q♦ and Chechin checked it over to Arora who put out a bet of 5,400. Chechin thought it over for about a minute before stacking his chips and putting them all in the middle. Arora snap called.

Serge Chechin: 10♠9♦
Alok Arora: 10♥9♥

They both laughed as the inconsequential river landed and they chopped it up after some drama.

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

After an open to 1,500 by a player in middle position called by the cutoff, 2023 EPT Monte-Carlo runner-up Leonard Maue three-bet to 7,200 from the big blind. But the initial raiser decided to four-bet all-in for 36,000. The cutoff folded, and Maue called.

Opponent: A♥J♣
Leonard Maue: Q♦Q♥

Maue's opponent, at risk, hoped until the end to win this coin flip. But on 2♦8♣9♥10♦2♥, Maue's queens held, and he took the pot.

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

After an open in early position, Dimitros Gkatzas raised to 4,000 from middle position and was called by the player seated on his left. The initial opener folded.

On the 8♠3♦4♦ flop, Gkatzas continued with a bet of 4,000, and his neighbor called. The J♦ came on the turn, and both players checked.

The river card was the 2♦, and Gkatzas added 8,500 to the pot. His opponent called, but Gkatzas didn't even show his cards, as he directly sent them into the muck.

Jimmy D'Ambrosio - Alex Foxen

An orbit of hands was relayed by Jimmy D'Ambrosio to PokerNews describing how he spun his stack up from a dangerously low 2,400, to his current count of 31,000.

In the first hand, D'Ambrosio doubled up when his A♥9♥ held against his opponents J♣9♣. "The board ran out clean on that one," commented D'Ambrosio

D'Ambrosio would double again in a come-from-behind victory when he shoved Q♦J♦ and was called by A♠Q♠. The final board ran out X♠X♠X♦X♦X♦ and the back-door flush brought the count up to 13,500 at this point.

In the final hand before the last break, D'Ambrosio would get another double when his A♣J♣ won a flip against the pocket nines of his opponent on a board that read QxJx4x5xKx.

"Make sure you use a good picture of me," mentioned D'Ambrosio.
