Tony Tran and Zlatin Penev just came off the final table of Event #11: €1,650 NLH 6-Max yesterday and they have now drawn the same table today in the Main Event. The two have some history with Penev constantly three-betting Tran but the American said he had something in store for Penev.

On the first hand for Tran, he raised it up in middle position and Penev once again stuck in a three-bet to 4,500 from the small blind. Tran four-bet to 18,400 and Penev called to see a flop of {10-Spades}{8-Spades}{7-Spades}.

Both players checked to the {k-Hearts} on the turn and the {2-Diamonds} on the river. Penev finally stuck in a bet of 24,000 on the river and Tran thought about it briefly but decided to send his cards to the muck.

Ricci Chips Up Further

Level 2 : 200/400, 400 ante

Andrea Ricci opened to 1,100 and Diego Pozzolini three-bet to 3,600, which Volkan Alkan in the big blind and Ricci both called. On the {j-Clubs}{9-Spades}{4-Hearts} flop, Pozzolini continued for 5,400 and earned two calls.

The {a-Hearts} turn was checked and Alkan also checked the {5-Spades} on the river. Ricci now bet 10,000 and Pozzolini folded while Alkan tank-called. He was shown the {a-Clubs}{9-Clubs} for aces and nines by Ricci, which was good enough to win the pot.
