Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Multiple raises went in before the flop and it was Kenta Fukuhara and Edward Pak battling for 12,500 in early positions.

The dealer fanned a flop of J♠8♣5♣ and Pak continued for 8,500. Fukuhara made the call.

The 2♥ fell on the turn and Pak slammed 70,000 across the line, putting maximum pressure on Fukuhara who had 33,600 remaining. After about 10 seconds, Fukuhara made the call and both hands were tabled.

Kenta Fukuhara: Q♥Q♦
Edward Pak: 10♠10♣

Fukhara let out a sigh of relief as the hands were tabled and the dealer dropped the 3♠ on the river as Fukuhara collected the double.

Another Tough Spot For Baumann

Maxime Taldir

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

According to her, Gaelle Baumann is having a rough time today, "running into the nuts every time." Unfortunately for her, it is not getting better, like when a player in the cutoff opened to 1,300. Baumann called in the big blind to see the flop 7♣Q♥J♠.

The cutoff continued to 2,000, then fired a second barrel of 4,000 on the turn 2♥. Both times, Baumann check-called.

But when the cutoff moved all in for 8,700 chips on the river 3♣, Baumann put her head into her hands, struggling to make a decision. She hesitated for a while and eventually folded, showing a Qx.

Clément Van Driessche raised 1,400 on the button and the small blind called as well as Rosalie Petit in the big blind.

The 4♣ completed the board and Petit fired a bet of 8,500, putting Van Driessche in the tank. After about a minute, Van Diessche pitched his cards into the muck and the dealer pushed the pot to Petit.

"Woah!" was the first thing heard from Table 671 and it was coming from Jimmy D'Ambrosio himself which could mean a lot of things may be happening. But it was bad news for the chatty D'Ambrosio who was standing up from the table.

After a couple of preflop raises between himself and Todd Hovenden, all of the chips got in the middle with D'Ambrosio holding Q♣Q♦ against the A♠A♦ of Hovenden. The flop came A♥A♣2♦ and Hovenden flopped quad aces to leave D'Ambrosio drawing dead.

"It was great playing with all of you," D'Ambrosio greeted all of his tablemates as he exited the tournament area after failing to spin his stack all the way up.
