Laubinger Builds his Stack

Level 5 : 200/300, 300 ante

Michael Bareither limped and Joe Quinn raised to 1,100 next to him. Alessandro Laubinger called in the cutoff and so did Bareither.

The flop fell {10-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{a-Spades} and Bareither checked to Quinn who bet 2,100. Only Laubinger called. On the {q-Clubs} turn, Quinn tanked and check-called a bet from Laubinger for 4,500.

The {2-Spades} completed the board and Quinn quickly check-called for 6,500 but mucked his cards when Laubinger revealed {q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} for two pair.

Level 6 : 200/400, 400 ante
Eyal Bensimhon
Eyal Bensimhon

The flop already showed {9-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{7-Spades} in a three-way pot when a first player bet and Antonio Turrisi shoved next to him. Eyal Bensimhon tanked for a minute and tossed a pile of 5,000 chips in front of him, putting the first player at risk, who made the call. The latter called and they revealed their cards:

First player: {a-Hearts}{6-Hearts}
Antonio Turrisi: {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}
Eyal Bensimhon: {a-Spades}{q-Spades}

The {j-Diamonds} turn didn't change anything but a {3-Spades} hit the river, giving the flush to Bensimhon who elimianted two players in the same hand.
