Paur Runs Into Kings

Adam Lamers

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Taylor Paur raised it up from under the gun and Brandon Sheils stuck in a three-bet in the cutoff. The action folded back to Paur who four-bet ripped all in for just over 1,200,000. Sheils snapped him off and the cards were face up.

Taylor Paur: A♣4♣ All in
Brandon Sheils: K♠K♣

Paur was in need of some help up against the pocket kings, but the flop of Q♣9♥3♥ changed nothing. The K♥ on the turn gave Sheils a set and Paur was left drawing dead to the 9♠ on the river.

Nicholas Grippo: 10♦10♠

Sava Krink

Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Andjelko Andrejevic kicked off the action from under the gun with a raise to 160,000. Arnaud Enselme in the cutoff made it 480,000. Thomas Boivin was sitting in the small blind when he four-bet to 1,075,000, leaving himself just 5,000 behind.

With the action back to Andrejevic he took his time before he folded. Enselme made sure he understood the raise correctly, went into the tank, but then made the call.

Both players checked through the J♣3♦9♦ flop, the 4♦ turn, and the 3♠. Enselme waited for a long time on the river before checking back.

The dealer announced a showdown, and Boivin tabled A♥Q♦ for ace-high, which seemed enough for Enselme, as his cards found the muck.

Action folded to Arnaud Enselme in the cutoff, and he raised to 600,000, leaving himself just 90,000 behind. Nicholas Grippo responded by moving all in from the small blind, and after the big blind folded, Enselme quickly called off the rest.

Arnaud Enselme: 9♠8♠ All in
Nicholas Grippo: A♠10♣

Enselme needed some help from the board, and the 6♣7♥4♦ flop gave him a straight draw and some hope. The 4♣ turn changed nothing, and the A♥ on the river sealed it for Grippo with top pair, sending Enselme to the rail.

Level 27 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Samuel Bernabeu raised to 250,000 on the button and Adrien Delmas three-bet to 750,000 from the big blind. Bernabeu four-bet shoved all in for around 2,400,000 and Delmas snapped him off.

Samuel Bernabeu: A♦Q♠ All in
Adrien Delmas: K♥K♣

The flop came K♦7♣4♥ and Bernabeu's uphill battle got even steeper after Delmas flopped a set. The 4♦ locked it up and the 6♠ was just a formality.
