Curcu With Spectacular Hero-Call

Level 17 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Action was on a river of {a-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{7-Hearts} with two players still in the hand.

With around 50,000 chips in the middle, [Removed:509] bet 26,500 and action was on Sebastian Curcu. He tanked for a good five minutes or so with the bubble only a handful of eliminations away.

Eventually he called, and Novin shook his hands and mucked his hand face-down. Curcu appeared relieved and turned over {k-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} for king-high and took down the pot.

"What a boss," said a tablemate, while another applauded the call.

Approaching the Bubble

Level 17 : 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

As we are only 8 players away from the money, players seem to be taking their time before making the decision, without having any excessive abuse of the time so far.

In one of the tables Tolga Karakaya opened from middle position to 13,000 and got a call from Rolf Van Brug from the cutoff and Andrea Radicchi from the button.

The flop was {2-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{4-Clubs} and action checked to Radicchi who took the chance and bet 17,000.

Karakaya made it 45,000 getting a fold from Van Brug and Radicchi and winning the pot.

Chen Doubles Up 20 from the Money

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Athanasios Kefalas opened for 8,000 under the gun and got called by Avraham Chen in middle position and Thomas Schmidt in the big blind.

The flop was {8-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{7-Spades} and Schmidt led from 17,500. Kefalas folded and Chen shoved for 38000.

Schmidt snap-called him and the players turned over their cards.

Chen had a set of sevens {7-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} and was ahead of the two pair from Schmidt {8-Hearts}{4-Spades}.

The turn was the {9-Diamonds} and the river {q-Spades} and Chen got the double up to reach 100,000 while Schmidt is left with roughly 90,000.

Adam Doubles Up in a Fashionable Way

Level 16 : 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Michael Adam shoved his 70,000 into the middle. Simone Iuliano re-shoved for 230,000 prompting a fold from the rest of the players.

Adam had {k-Spades}{q-Spades} and stood up ready to go as he saw the {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs} from Iuliano.

The flop {a-Hearts}{j-Spades}{2-Spades} gave hope to Adam, as he flopped the flush draw.

The {8-Spades} completed his flush and an insignificant {3-Clubs} guaranteed him the double up.
