Tajiou Gets a Full Double Against a Sticky Calderon

Kai Cocklin

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

Albert Calderon made it 200,000 to go with 6♥6♣ from under the gun and Mounir Tajiou defended his big blind holding K♦7♦.

They saw a flop of 5♥7♠3♠ where Tajiou check-called a bet of 250,000 from Calderon to see the K♣ on the turn. Tajiou checked again with his two pair and Calderon didn't slow down as he bet 450,000. Tajiou then put in the check-raise to 1,100,000, and Calderon called with his pair and gutshot.

An A♣ hit the river and Tajiou shoved 260,000 into the pot, and Calderon called it off in the hope his opponent was bluffing.

Tajiou approaching 4,000,000 after that double-up.

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

Heads-up on a board of 6♣4♣8♥Q♣, Noah Goldman bet 600,000 from under the gun and Sergio Veloso called in the big blind.

The river was the 4♥ and Goldman moved all in for 2,495,000. Veloso confirmed the amount and paused for a moment before calling.

Goldman instantly tapped the felt and got up from his seat before revealing A♣J♠ for just ace-high. Veloso had Q♠9♦ for two pair to win the pot and send Goldman to the rail.

Goldman paused to snap a photo of the board before making his exit. Arsenii Karmatckii also asked to take a photo. "Let me take a picture of you taking a picture," Derek Sudell joked with Karmatckii.

Adam Hendrix: J♥J♣

Hendrix immediately took the lead, improving to a full house on the J♦5♥5♣ flop, and secured the pot after the 8♠ turn and 10♣ river.

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

Fabrice Bigot was all in for around 800,000 from the big blind against Nick Pupillo in the hijack on a flop of 8♥10♣6♦.

Fabrice Bigot: 9♣8♦ All in
Nick Pupillo: Q♥9♠

Bigot had the best hand with a pair of eights against Pupillo's open-ended straight draw, but the board ran out 10♥9♥ to counterfeit Bigot's hand as both players made nines and tens with Pupillo having the better kicker.

The French pro was eliminated, but he is still represented at the table by fellow countrymen Thomas Eychenne, Arnaud Mattern, and Adrien Zychowski.

"There's only room for three French guys at the table," said Daniel Iachan.

Nazar Buhaiov raised to 200,000 with A♦4♦ from middle position, and only Matija Kajtez called from the small blind with Q♠J♥.

Kajtez checked after the dealer fanned out the J♠A♠4♣ flop, and Buhaiov bet 200,000. Kajtez stuck around with a call.

The 3♦ hit the turn, and Kajtez checked again. Buhaiov paused for a few moments and then shoved his 550,000 into the middle. Kajtez did some inventory of his stack and mulled it over for a while before deciding to fold and surrender the pot to Buhaiov.

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

Diego Ponce three-bet in middle position before Florian Ribouchon moved all in for 3,700,000 from the button. The table folded back around to Ponce who called and put Ribouchon at risk.

Florian Ribouchon: J♣J♦ All in
Diego Ponce: Q♣Q♠

Ribouchon found himself crushed holding jacks against Ponce's queens, and the Q♥4♦3♦ flop improved Ponce to top set. The rest of the board came 5♥9♦ and Ribouchon was sent to the rail.

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

Will Kassouf was in the middle of rambling on and on while the other players at the table sat in silence. Richard Green just shoved his short stack into the middle with A♥2♦ but only picked up the blinds and ante. Green then posed a question to Kassouf in the middle of his sentence.

"Let me ask you a question. Do you like money?" Green asked.

"Ya, I like money," Kassouf responded.

"How much do we have to chip in for you to shut the f*** up? Anyone else want to chip in?"

"Now we're talking," Kassouf rambled as words flew out of his mouth at a mile a minute.

"Eighty-nine minutes left in the level, how much for you to be quiet for the rest of the level?" Green proposed.

"$10,000 each. A freeroll for me and my seven buddies," Kassouf answered. "For 10k each, put your money where your mouth is."

The banter went back and forth for a few more minutes but no deal was made at that time.

"Shut the f*** up!" Another player from the field shouted across the room.

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

Sam Darkin made it 200,000 from the hijack with only Kyle Grupp calling out of the cutoff.

After seeing the 7♣4♣A♥ flop fall, Darkin put out a continuation-bet of 300,000, which Grupp quickly called.

The 6♠ turn caused Darkin to slow down and check. Grupp bet 780,000, and after some tanking, Darkin called.

Darkin knuckled the table for the last time on the 8♦ river. Grupp gathered together a bet of 1,300,000, which Darkin called.

Grupp had backed into the nut straight with 10♣9♣ to take down the pot, as Darkin tossed away his A♠8♥ for a rivered two pair.

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

William Camp was just seen leaving his seat, saying his goodbyes to his tables after a big all-in encounter with Murilo Milhomem.

Milhomem recapped the preflop action. Chih Fan raised in middle position before Alen Tenorio three-bet from the hijack. Murilo Milhomem put in the cold four-bet from the cutoff and then William Camp five-bet jammed for around 1,900,000. Fan and Tenorio folded, with Milhomem calling.

William Camp: A♠K♠ All in
Murilo Milhomem: K♥K♦

Camp had three outs, and failed to find the ace on the 10♦6♣3♦ flop. Tenorio appeared less than impressed, saying he folded pocket tens, which would've made a set.

Camp's run was then officially over after the 3♠ turn and J♠ runout.

Painter Makes the Right Laydown as Schulze Climbs Again

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

Jameson Painter made it 200,000 with Q♣Q♥ from early position and Sebastian Schulze three-bet A♥K♣ in the hijack to 600,000. When it got back to Painter, he called.

Both players hit top pair on the 4♣A♦7♣ flop, where Painter check-called a bet of 400,000 from Schulze to see the 2♠ turn. Painter tapped the table once more, then Schulze fired 1,500,000. Painter slowly reached for chips and made the call.

A 6♥ on the river was as clean as they come for Schulze, and the action was on him after Painter checked. Painter had 4,700,000 remaining and Schulze wanted all of it as he shoved, putting Painter to the test. It only took around 30 seconds for Painter to lay down his ace-queen, and he'll be thankful he did when he watches it back.
