Sgehiri Doubles Through Cohen

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

A raising war broke out over on table 138 and Mohamed Seghiri ended up all in and at risk for two times the starting stack against Mordechai Cohen.

Seghiri had the best of it preflop with {K-Diamonds}{K-Clubs} and Cohen tabled {Q-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}. The board came {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{4-Spades}{A-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} and Seghiri secured the double on the turn already.

New Day 1G entries include Teunis Kooij, Tomas Fara, Michal Mrakes and Chin Wei Lim. Maria Lampropulos was eliminated with queens versus sixes after her opponent spiked a six on the flop.

Chmielewski Flops Quads

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Marcin Chmielewski raised to 3,200 from early position and was called by Moncef Karoui in mid-position.

They both checked through the {q-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} on the flop to the {9-Spades} on the river. Chmielewski bet 4,500 and Karoui called.

The river completed the board with the {10-Hearts} and Chmielewski barreled a bet of 16,000 over the line. Karoui tanked for about two minutes, then asked the dealer to spread the pot so he could see how much was in it. He cut out calling chips, counted out the remainder of his stack, tanked another two minutes while playing with the calling chips, and then finally put them over the line for the call. He mucked immediately when Chmielewski tabled {q-Spades}{q-Diamonds} for the flopped quads.

"What did you have? Jacks?" Chmielewski asked Karoui.

"Full house" Karoui replied.

A few minutes later, former big stack Vivien Nagy departed from the table after her stack decreased rapidly when losing several bigger pots in quick succession.

Borba Explodes

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Itay Borba could be heard from the other side of the room as he shouted out some Italian profanities and when the PokerNews live reporting rushed over, Borba had {q-Spades}{q-Clubs} in front of him.

The board read {q-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{j-Hearts} and it looked like Stefano Maranta had rivered the flush on him with {a-Spades}{a-Hearts}. After paying Maranta's double-up, Borba was left with 4,500.

The hand right after, Borba shoved from the late position after Ghassan Yared had raised to 3,400. Roland Israelashvili considered for a while but opted to fold. Action folded back to Yared who called. They both held {a-}{j-} and split the blinds and ante between the two of them.

Shortly after, Borba busted.

Kaneoya Doubles; Busts After

Level 11 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Renato Kaneoya ended up all in and at risk for around six big blinds with the {7-Clubs}{5-Clubs} and Mohamed Seghiri called with {A-Spades}{K-Hearts}. The board came {10-Hearts}{8-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{2-Hearts} and Kaneoya spiked a straight on the turn to double.

However, soon after he would bow out against Slavomir Byrtus and jumped out of his chair, which fell over. Very likely, Kaneoya will head straight to the cashier to sign up for the upcoming final flight. The same table also featured Shaun Deeb briefly, who experienced the same fate as Kaneoya.
