Busquet Knocks Collins Down Then Out

Jerome Solomon
Jerome Solomon
Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Megan Collins took a major hit from Olivier Busquet, when the two had almost equal stacks, and she had A♦K♠ and he had A♥A♣.

The runout gave her a pair of kings but could not crack his aces and she was left with only 1,000 chips.

A few hands later, Olivier Busquet raised from middle position and Collins went all in from the cutoff.

Megan Collins: K♥10♦All in
Olivier Busquet: A♠9♠

The hand ended on the turn, as the runout 10♠3♥2♠6♠J♦ gave Busquet a flush and the win.

Action was picked up on the flop in a pot between Jonathan Jaffe on the button and Peter Bloch in the cutoff with 13,900 in the center.

The flop read A♣A♥7♣ and Bloch checked over to Jaffe who bet 4,000. Bloch raised to 16,000 and Jaffe continued in the hand.

On the turn 5♥, Bloch moved all in for 80,200 and Jaffe went into the tank.

"Are we chopping?" asked Bloch.

"It's kind of hard to chop this one," replied Jaffe as he thought about his decision.

Eventually he folded and flashed Bloch an A♦. Bloch responded in kind by showing an A♠ from his own hand as he raked in the pot.

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Hundreds of players have already used the chance to enter during the first two levels of Day 2 and that also applies for Liv Boeree, who can be found in the Paris Yellow section. She won a small pot off Hamid Mezhoud on the river of a 9♠8♣3♣5♠5♦ board when her opponent bet 3,000 and she raised to 8,000 to take it down uncontested.

The action was joined as Antony Cragg and Kristen Foxen were contesting a pot worth roughly 14,000.

The flop action was already complete with K♣10♦6♦ on their backs in the middle.

The dealer burned and turned the 5♥ turn card, and Cragg continued for a bet of 12,100, which Foxen called.

Both players then saw the J♣ complete the board, and Cragg kept his foot firmly on the accelerator, moving all in. Foxen was the shorter of the two stacks, with roughly 50,000 remaining.

Foxen went deep into the tank. Stuck in an unenviable position so early on Day 2, she took seven minutes before reaching a decision. She returned her cards to the dealer face down, but did let Cragg know she had folded a set of sixes.

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Aaron Mermelstein, who registered at the start of the day and had taken the seat of the busted Brendan Loftus, was on the button and involved in a pot against Yaroslav Shkliar in the big blind.

Shkliar and Mermelstein had reached the river on the 3♠Q♥9♥2♠Q♠ board, with 51,000 already in the pot. Shkliar checked to Mermelstein, who settled on a bet of 33,000.

Shkliar did not need much time before he tossed in a call, but he sighed and mucked his cards when Mermelstein showed A♠5♠ for the nut flush.

Level 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Joseph Stellato was all-in for 10,100 from the cutoff and Day 2 entry Jacob Edelstein called on the button. Brett Shaffer then reraised to 20,000 in the big blind and Edelstein called.

On the J♦9♠6♥ flop, Shaffer jammed for 21,500 and Edelstein snap-called.

Joseph Stellato: A♣A♦ All in
Brett Shaffer: K♦K♥ All in
Jacob Edelstein: 8♥7♥

The K♠ turn improved Shaffer to a set of kings and the J♥ river changed nothing, as Stellato bowed out with a bad beat story to tell.
