Tobias Peters

Stanislav Koleno raised on the button and Tobias Peters three-bet out of the small blind. Fabrice Halleux moved all in from the big blind for three blinds and Koleno called.

The flop came {q-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{q-Hearts} and Peters continued for 6,700. Koleno called. The turn was the {4-Clubs} and Peters bet 11,600. Koleno called again.

The river was the {q-Spades} and Peters moved all in for 16,600. Koleno thought for a while before slamming some chips down on the felt and calling.

"Good call," said Peters tabling {a-Hearts}{8-Spades}. Koleno turned over {a-Clubs}{9-Spades} narrowly beating his opponent's Ace-high. Meanwhile Halleux showed {j-Spades}{3-Diamonds} and Koleno eliminated both Peters and Halleux.

The under the gun player check-folded to a bet of 4,000 from Boatman and the cards were turned over.

Walter Treccarichi: {3-Spades}{7-Hearts}
Barny Boatman: {4-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}

The turn was the {7-Diamonds} and the river the {2-Spades} giving Treccarichi the smallest of triple ups.

Makarios Avramidis

Makarios Avramidis raised to 2,400 from the hijack and the player in the cutoff called. The big blind moved all in for 11,900. Avramidis asked for a count before calling.

As Avramidis was counting out the chips to make the call the cutoff then moved all in himself for around 25,000. Avramidis called.

Makarios Avramidis: {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts}
Cutoff: {q-Spades}{q-Hearts}
Big Blind: {7-Hearts}{7-Clubs}

The board ran out {10-Diamonds}{a-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{k-Spades}{6-Diamonds} and Avramidis's Kings held to eliminate two players and boost his stack up over 100,000.

Thorel vs Ensan

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante

Hossein Ensan bet 5,000 on the {9-Spades}{a-Clubs}{a-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} turn and Jean-Noel Thorel called. The river was the {7-Diamonds} and Ensan checked. Thorel quickly went all in and Ensan folded.

The two are some of the bigger stacks from around the room and are seated next to one another, so we could see some fireworks now that re-entry has closed.

Halleux Doubles Through Peters

Level 9 : 400/800, 100 ante
Fabrice Halleux
Fabrice Halleux

Pre-flop Roland Israelashvili had a raise of 7,000 in front of him, while Tobias Peters had gone all in from under the gun and Fabrice Halleux from the next position over.

Eventually Israelashvili released his hand and the cards were turned over.

"Ace-Queen?" said Halleux but Peters turned over {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}. Halleux let out an exasperated sigh as he turned over the {10-Spades}, with the dealing moving it slightly to reveal the {k-Diamonds} behind him and Halleux was dominated.

The flop came {9-Spades}{5-Spades}{6-Clubs} with no help for Halleux. "King on the river," said Halleux as the turn {2-Spades} was dealt. The river was the {8-Spades} giving Halleux a flush.

"No comment," he said, chipping up to just under 20 big blinds.
