Messina Over 30 Million

Level 31 : 100,000/200,000, 30,000 ante

Michael Sklenicka raised to 450,000 on the button, and Alexandre Reard called out of the big blind.

On the {A-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{3-Hearts} flop, Reard checked, and Sklenicka continued for 300,000. Reard called. The {K-Clubs} turn brought no betting action, and Reard checked again on the {10-Diamonds} river. Sklenicka bet 1,100,000, and Reard reluctantly folded.

In the next hand, Valentin Messina made it 525,000 to go, and Scott Stewart three-bet to 1,400,000. Out of the big blind, Jonas Mackoff asked for Stewart's stack size and seemed interested, but he ultimately folded. Messina asked the very same question: "How much are you playing?"

"Total with this, nine million," Stewart replied. After brief consideration, Messina four-bet to 3,150,000, and Stewart let go after giving it some thought.

Robin Hegele opened the action to 500,000 in middle position, and Jack Sinclair three-bet to 1,550,000 in the small blind. Richard Dubini was next to act in the big blind, and he decided to four-bet to 3,100,000. Hegele got out of the way, and Sinclair called.

The flop came {J-Spades}{J-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}, and both players checked. On the {2-Hearts} turn, Sinclair bet 2,000,000, and after a couple minutes of thought, Dubini folded his hand.

Mackoff Takes Two Rounds from Messina

Level 31 : 100,000/200,000, 30,000 ante

Jonas Mackoff completed the blind and saw a {5-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{q-Hearts} flop for the minimum against Valentin Messina. Mackoff check-called 400,000 on the flop and 950,000 more on the {5-Spades} turn. He checked the {4-Spades} river, and Messina checked back but couldn't beat {j-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}.

A bit after that, Mackoff opened in the cutoff for 450,000 and got action from Messina on the button. They both checked the {q-Spades}{a-Hearts}{q-Clubs} flop, and Mackoff bet 800,000 on the {k-Hearts} turn. Messina called and then faced another barrel of 1.8 million on the {5-Diamonds} river. He tanked awhile and folded, showing the {a-Diamonds}.

Mackoff Folds to Two Jams

Level 31 : 100,000/200,000, 30,000 ante

Valentin Messina raised to 500,000 two hands in a row. The first hand saw him scoop the blinds and antes, while Michael Sklenicka three-bet the second hand to 1,300,000 on the button. Messina folded and dropped below 28 million in chips.

Sklenicka raised the next hand to 450,000 from the cutoff, and Alexandre Reard called in the small blind. The {10-Spades}{5-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} flop drew a check from Reard, and Sklenicka asked, "You have five [million] behind?" which Reard comfirmed. Sklenicka checked behind and did so again on the {K-Hearts} turn. Reard's bet of 975,000 on the {3-Spades} river claimed the pot.

Then, Benjamin Pollak limped the small blind, and Jonas Mackoff raised to 800,000 in the big blind. Pollak moved all in, and Mackoff quickly folded.

The very next hand, Reard made it 450,000 to go from the cutoff, and Mackoff three-bet to 950,000 in the small blind. Back on Reard, he four-bet all in, and Mackoff folded to the second shove in a row.
