Rosadoni Doubles; Seizes Chip Lead

Josh_Cahlik

Picking up with the action on the turn, the board read {J-Spades} {8-Spades} {5-Spades} {6-Clubs} and Giovanni Rosadoni checked. Dan O'Brien bet 75,000 and Rosadoni responded by moving all in for 287,000. O'Brien called and the hands were shown:

Rosadoni: {J-Hearts} {8-Hearts}
O'Brien: {K-Spades} {K-Clubs}

Rosadoni was ahead with his two pair but O'Brien had outs to make a better two pair, a set, or a spade to make the flush. Unfortunately for O'Brien, the river was the {4-Clubs} and Rosadoni was able to double up again.

Josh_Cahlik

Dan O'Brien raised to 12,000 from the cutoff and Oleksii Kovalchuk shipped all in from the button. It folded back to O'Brien and he called with {A-Hearts} {10-Hearts} . Kovalchuk showed {A-Diamonds} {3-Spades} and was in need of some help.

Unfortunately for Kovalchuk, the board did not oblige, as it fell {Q-Clubs} {7-Diamonds} {6-Clubs} {2-Hearts} {5-Hearts} . O'Brien's ace-ten high was the best hand and Kovalchuk was sent to the rail in fourth place.

O'Brien: {K-Hearts} {8-Hearts}

donpeters

From under the gun, Paul Guichard raised to 8,000. Dan O'Brien was next to act and three-bet to 17,000. Action folded back to Guichard, and he moved all in. O'Brien snap-called and turned up the {A-Diamonds} {A-Clubs} . Guichard's face said it all as he tabled the crushed {A-Hearts} {J-Spades} .

The flop didn't give much help to Guichard when the {5-Diamonds} {4-Hearts} {2-Hearts} fell, but the {Q-Hearts} on the turn did help him with a flush draw. The {10-Diamonds} landed on fifth street, which proved to be the end of the road for Guichard as he was eliminated in sixth place.

For his finish, Guichard took home over €20,000. O'Brien moved to 530,000 in chips and has almost double anyone else at the table.

Rosadoni Doubles and Monnette Gets Angry

donpeters

From under the gun, Giovanni Rosadoni rasied to 12,500. Action folded to John Monnette in the big blind, and he tossed in the call.

The flop came down {7-Diamonds} {7-Hearts} {3-Spades} , and Monnette checked. Rosadoni checked behind.

The turn was the {K-Hearts} , and Monnette led for 16,500. Rosadoni began to stack up his chips for a raise and slid out 46,500. Monnette called.

The river card was he {10-Clubs} and completed the board. After Monnette checked, Rosadoni moved all in for 75,000 flat. Monnette studied, then called.

When Monnette called, Rosadoni was to show first, but he paused and shook his head. He then showed the {A-Clubs} , shook his head once or twice more, then showed the {7-Spades} . He had flopped trips, and Monnette couldn't beat it.

Monnette was agitated a big with what could be deemed as a slowroll from Rosadoni and tossed his hand into the muck. His hand did hit the top of the fanned stub of cards, but the tournament director instructed the dealer to grab the cards and expose them, as all all-in hands must be shown. When the dealer began to slide the cards off the top of the pile, Monnette objected and claimed the cards were in the muck.

A second floor person was called in to make the ruling and it was deemed that Monnette's hand must be shown as they were retrievable. Monnette objected some, but the cards were tabled anyway to reveal the {K-Clubs} {J-Spades} . Right before the hand was turned over, Monnette said, "I don't even know if those were my cards," but the floor claimed they were indeed his. At any rate, Monnette's hand was then mucked completely as Rosadoni won the pot to double up.

After the hand, Monnette said something unheard to Rosadoni, and Rosadoni touched Monnette on his arm while saying something back. Monnette then said, "Don't touch me," a couple of times to get the point across before the two went on with play.

Roman Romanovskyi Eliminated in 7th Place (€15,890)

Josh_Cahlik

In the hand prior to this, Roman Romanovskyi lost roughly two thirds of his stack to John Monnette's flopped flush. This led to Romanovskyi moving all in from the cutoff for his last 31,500. Adrien Allain called from the button and the blinds folded.

Romanovskyi: {Q-Diamonds} {10-Hearts}
Allain: {A-Clubs} {8-Clubs}

The board fell {A-Spades} {J-Spades} {4-Diamonds} {A-Diamonds} {6-Clubs} and Allain's trip aces sent Romanovskyi packing. He will collect €15,890 in prize money.

donpeters

A few hands after getting crippled, Trond Aanensen raised all in for 7,700 from the cutoff seat after Dan O'Brien opened to 6,000 in middle position. Giovanni Rosadoni called from the big blind, and O'Brien also called.

Rosadoni and O'Brien checked down the {K-Diamonds} {10-Spades} {7-Spades} {6-Hearts} {5-Hearts} board to get to a showdown. Rosadoni tabled the {A-Clubs} {2-Spades} for ace high, and O'Brien showed the {4-Hearts} {4-Clubs} for a pair of fours. Aanensen pointed to O'Brien's hand as if to signal it was best before turning over his {A-Diamonds} {3-Spades} for just ace high. O'Brien won the pot and eliminated Aanensen in eighth place.

John Duthie Eliminated in 9th Place (€10,095)

donpeters

From middle position, John Duthie raised all in for 29,100. In the next seat, Dan O'Brien requested a count, received one, then called. Everyone else folded to leave O'Brien's {A-Diamonds} {K-Clubs} dominating Duthie's {A-Hearts} {5-Clubs} .

The flop was {A-Spades} {Q-Spades} {4-Hearts} with O'Brien's kicker keeping him in front. The turn {2-Spades} gave Duthie some extra outs to a wheel, but the {7-Spades} on the river failed to help him.
