Toledo Takes it Down

Stewart Morrison

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

The action was joined as Fernando Gutierrez, on the button and Delmiro Toledo, in the small blind, were competing for a pot worth roughly 50,000 chips.

The felt already had three cards on their back, a flop of A♣2♦8♦.

Toledo led out for a bet of 15,000, and Guitierrez responded with a raise to 38,000. Undeterred, Toledo stuck around to see a turn card.

The dealer then revealed the 8♣ turn, which slowed the action as both players checked.

The river was a similar story, as both players checked after seeing the 10♣.

Toledo flipped over A♥7♣, which was the best hand as Gutierrez mucked his cards.

Kossew Doubles in Dramatic Fashion

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

There was some uproar over on table 491 as Jedd Kossew jumped out of his chair and by accident hit Lawrence Meldman, who he had just doubled through in dramatic fashion. It was not a preflop all-in by the looks of it as Kossew doubled for 31,000 when he was at risk with the K♥K♠.

Meldman had been involved with the A♥K♣ and improved on the A♣9♥4♠ flop to leave the South African with just one out. That didn't come on the 5♦ turn but the miracle K♦ river saved Kossew, also being the reason for the emotional outburst.

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Johnny Bromberg opened to 9,000 from middle position and Will Kassouf three-bet to 33,000 from the small blind. Bromberg called.

The flop came 4♦Q♦3♥. Kassouf continued for 50,000 and was called by Bromberg.

Both players checked the 8♥ turn leading to the 7♦ river. Bromberg bet 55,000 and Kassouf asked several questions and made multiple comments to Bromberg, trying to get a read. Bromberg remained silent and after several minutes the clock was eventually called.

With a few seconds remaining Kassouf called and showed J♠J♥. Bromberg had him beat with K♠Q♥ to take the pot.

Pahuja Doubles Up After Floor Ruling

Will Shillibier

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Vineet Pahuja moved all in for 26,500 from early position. It folded around to James Calderaro, who had just sat at the table. He sat with cards in front of him, but it was unclear whether he was allowed to play the hand.

It was clear that Calderaro was at the table when his second card was dealt, but the timing of the first card off the deck and when Calderaro's position was first dealt a card was unclear. The floor ultimately ruled that Calderaro had a live hand.

"Hope I have a biggie," he said, before folding. Waheed Feda then called and the blinds folded.

Vineet Pahuja: J♣10♣ All in
Waheed Feda: Q♦J♦

Pahuja was dominated but the 9♥8♣5♥ flop gave him straight outs. The turn was the 8♠ but the river 7♥ completed his straight and he stayed alive.

Player	Chips	Progress
James Calderaro	810,000 110,000	110,000

Waheed Feda	740,000 255,000	255,000
Vineet Pahuja	60,000 55,000	55,000

Maxime Taldir

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Benjamin Attlan jammed for 23,000 from middle position. John Dutchak to his left raised to 75,000 and all the other players folded.

Benjamin Attlan: A♣10♥ All in
John Dutchak: A♦J♥

Attlan stood up as the dealer ran out a flop of 4♣9♣8♠, but stayed near the table after the 7♣ turn gave him a straight draw and a flush draw. Dutchak begged the dealer to reveal a river that suited him, but the Q♣ river completed Attlan's flush and he doubled up.

Sabag Makes the Better Full House

Connor Richards

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

In a heads-up pot on a board of 2♦5♥5♣K♦, Marc Evanier was all in for 56,000 and Roi Sabag called with a bigger stack.

Marc Evanier: 2♠2♣ All in
Roi Sabag: J♣J♠

Evanier had flopped a boat and had Sabag drawing thin, but the dealer found the J♥ on the river to suck the life out of Evanier as Sabag made the better full house.

"Sorry man," Sabag said after the major suckout.

Crushed by King: Autran’s Flush No Good

Sava Krink

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

With the board showing A♠9♠K♣4♠7♣ and around 110,000 in the middle, action checked to Curtis King in the hijack. He made a bet for roughly 275,000, easily covering both Diego Sanchez Serrano and Jean-Robert Autran in the blinds.

Serrano went deep into the tank before ultimately folding, leaving Autran to make the decision for his tournament life. After a long pause, Autran committed the chips and made the call.

King tabled Q♠10♠ for the second-nut flush, and Autran could only shake his head as he revealed 8♠7♠ for a weaker flush.

Autran was visibly crushed as he hit the rail, while King raked in a hefty pot to continue his rise up the chip counts.

As the chips were pushed across the table, Serrano quietly added, “I folded king of spades,” revealing just how few outs either player had to hit their flush.

Curtis King	660,000 389,000	389,000

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Liam Gannon

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Virgile Turchi raised to 8,000 in the cutoff and in the big blind, Roman Hrabec called.

Hrabec checked the flop of 10♣8♦4♦ over to Turchi who bet 15,000. Hrabec raised to 35,000, prompting Turchi to move all in for 143,000 and Hrabec called.

Virgile Turchi: A♠10♦ All in
Roman Hrabec: 8♥8♠

The board ran out 5♣9♣ and the set of eights was good for Hrabec to grow his stack while Turchi was eliminated from the tournament.
