Ensan Starting to Dwindle

Christian Zetzsche

Level 37 : Blinds 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante

Hossein Ensan opened to 2,000,000 from under the gun and Lauri Saaskilahti in the big blind three-bet to 7,000,000, forcing out Ensan after some consideration.

Michael Gagliano raised to 2,200,000 first to act and Ensan was the only caller from his big blind. They headed to the Q♣9♣9♥ flop on which both players checked. The A♥ turn brought a second flush draw and Ensan checked once more. This prompted a bet of 2,500,000 by Gagliano and Ensan folded.

Level 37 : Blinds 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante

Lauri Saaskilahti opened to 2,000,000 and Michael Gagliano called in the big blind. On a flop of J♠7♣4♠, Gagliano check-called for 1,500,000 and they checked the 6♣ turn. Gagliano then led the 5♠ river for 2,300,000 and Saaskilahti folded.

Greg Mueller then min-raised from the hijack and Gagliano three-bet to 7,500,000 in the small blind, winning the pot after Mueller sent his cards into the muck.

Saaskilahti kicked off the next hand with a raise to 2,000,000 and Rami Hammoud defended his big blind. The A♦Q♥J♠ flop was checked by Hammoud and Saaskilahti had barely bet when the cards of his opponent already went into the muck.

Level 37 : Blinds 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante

In a limped battle of the blinds, Hossein Ensan A♣4♦ bet the 8♥6♣3♥ flop for 1,000,000 and the 6♦ turn for 3,000,000 both of which Michael Gagliano 9♥6♠ called. Ensan slowed down and checked the 7♠ on the river after which Gagliano bet 7,500,000.

After using two time banks, Ensan folded.

Level 37 : Blinds 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante

Michael Gagliano raised to 2,000,000 from the cutoff and Antonio Galiana called from the button before they headed to the 10♥6♦5♣ flop. Gagliano check-called and did so again on the 7♥ turn for 4,400,000. The river was the 4♥ and both players checked, Gagliano won the pot with the 9♣8♣ for the ten-high straight. Galiana mucked K♣Q♥.

One hand later, Galiana raised to 2,000,000 and called a three-bet to 6,000,000 by Rami Hammoud from the cutoff. They checked the 10♦9♣6♣ flop to the 4♣ turn on which Galiana check-called for 5,000,000. This brought them to the 2♠ river on which Galiana checked once more. Hammoud fired another bet of 10,000 and his opponent from Spain used two time bank extensions.

Galiana called with A♣Q♦ and was shown the K♣10♣ for the second nut flush by Hammoud, further damaging his stack.

Hossein Ensan raised to 1,600,000 in the cutoff, Rami Hammoud three-bet to 8,200,000 in the big blind, and Ensan folded.

Michael Gagliano then opened to 1,800,000 in the cutoff and Hammoud three-bet again, making it 7,200,000 from the small blind. Gagliano also folded.

The next hand, Shaun Deeb raised to 1,600,000 under the gun and Ensan called in middle position. Antonio Galiana picked up K♥K♣ and three-bet to 5,600,000 in the cutoff, and Hammoud four-bet to 12,500,000 on the button.

Deeb and Ensan quickly folded, but Galiana then moved all in for 46,100,000. Hammoud tanked for more than a minute before giving up Q♥Q♦, and the Spanish rail erupted in celebration as Galiana took down the big pot.

Shaun Deeb raised it up to 1,600,000 in the cutoff and Michael Gagliano three-bet jammed for 13,800,000 in the small blind. The action folded back to Deeb and he called for essentially half of his stack.

Michael Gagliano: 10♠10♥ All in
Shaun Deeb: A♣J♠

The rail was silently awaiting the board and even "Crazy Mike" didn't say a single word. It stayed silent throughout the Q♥9♥6♠9♠K♦ board, after which only one spectator celebrated: Daniel Strelitz.

"Thank you Danny," Gagliano said as he turned around briefly before stacking up the chips.

Romain Lewis A♠J♦ then moved all in for 8,600,000 from under the gun. Hossein Ensan in the small blind asked for a count, but he eventually folded. Gagliano also quickly gave up his big blind.

Level 36 : Blinds 400,000/800,000, 800,000 ante

In the first hand back from the break, Michael Gagliano Q♥Q♣ raised to 1,700,000 and stole the blinds as well as the big blind ante.

Shaun Deeb 6♠6♦ then raised from the small blind for 15,700,000 with very few chips behind and got it through.

Daniel Savas A♥7♣ raised to 1,600,000 from the hijack and found no resistance.

Savas made it two in a row with another raise to 1,600,000, holding Q♠Q♣. That wrapped up another preflop contest.

Hossein Ensan 5♥4♥ raised to 1,600,000 thereafter from the button into the big blind of Romain Lewis A♣K♥, who pushed all in and forced a snap-fold.

Rami Hammoud J♥J♠ made it 1,200,000 to go and Michael Gagliano 7♠7♦ called in the big blind to a flop of A♣9♥2♦. Once Gagliano checked, Hammoud bet the minimum of 600,000 and it was enough to win the pot uncontested.

Hammoud raised to 1,200,000 once more and claimed the next pot without resistance.

Daniel Savas then made it 1,200,000 to go and Hammoud in the big blind called, leading to the A♣A♠9♠ flop that was checked to the 5♦ turn. Hammoud bet and Savas folded.

The next player to raise was Brock Wilson for 1,200,000 and Greg Mueller in the big blind called. The 6♦5♥3♠ flop brought a bet of 1,300,000 by Mueller and Wilson gave it a lot of thought before he folded.

Hammoud Jams Into Gagliano

Level 35 : Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante

Hossein Ensan raised to 1,200,000 and won the blinds and big blind ante without resistance.

Shaun Deeb made it 1,200,000 to go in the next hand and scooped the blinds, much to the delight of a very vivid "Crazy Mike" with a loud, "Let's go, Shaun!"

Michael Gagliano 8♥8♣ in the cutoff raised to 1,200,000 and Rami Hammoud 9♦8♦ in the small blind three-bet jammed for an effective 17,600,000 as that's what Gagliano had at his disposal to start the hand. Gagliano carefully counted his stack before he sent the cards into the muck.
