Gabrielle Barredo

Level 30 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Joseph Williams opened for 450,000 and got an all-in three-bet shove from Alemu Makonen for 1,475,000 on the button. After asking for a count, Sven Rahmsdorf in the small blind, announced four-bet all-in, as well, for 6,700,000.

With action back to him, Williams asked for a count and went into deep thought. After a few seconds and with only about the same amount as Rahmsdorf, Williams decided to fold, leaving the two players to go to showdown.

Alemu Makonen: A♥K♦ All in
Sven Rahmsdorf: J♥J♣

The flop made Makonen stand up from his chair when it dropped 2♠5♣J♠ giving Rahmsdorf a set. The turn sealed the deal when the board paired with 5♠ strengthening Rahmsdorf hand, improving it into a full house.

The river 4♣ was a formality. Rahmsdorf scooped the pot as Makonen left the tournament floor.

Level 30 : Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

The action was joined with all the money in the middle in a pre-flop raising war between Michael Rossitto and Santiago Montes.

Santiago Montes: J♠J♥

A lovely door card for Montes with a jack coming on the J♣3♠10♦ flop and when the A♠ fell on the turn, Rossitto was drawing dead. The river was the irrelevant 2♠ and Rossitto was sent to the rail.
