La Francesca Bets the Flop to Win

Level 5 : 400/800, 800 ante

Matthew Bushell raised to 2,000 and then called a three-bet to 7,100 by Alessio La Francesca from one seat over. As the duo headed to the {10-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} flop, Bushell opted to check. La Francesca bet 11,000 and that won the pot right there.

Among others, the table also features Jakub Michalak and Georgios Tsouloftas.

Martini Among the Chip Leaders

Level 5 : 400/800, 800 ante

Renat Bohdanov was nowhere to be found anymore while the stack of Julien Martini had grown significantly. In the meanwhile, the roller coaster ride of Michael Strauch on the same table continued as he pulled back above the starting stack.

In the latest hand, Strauch bet the {8-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds} river for 22,000 out of the small blind. Martini gave it some thought but eventually folded to forfeit the pot.

Johan Guilbert
Johan Guilbert

With 7,600 invested to the {5-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{2-Clubs} flop, Vojtech Ruzicka bet 15,300 in the small blind. Johan Guilbert already tanked for a while and then raised to 38,500 for Ruzicka to call. On the {q-Clubs} turn, both players checked and Ruzicka also bet the {6-Diamonds} river.

Guilbert tanked, then bet 91,100 with one T-100 chip behind. Now it was Ruzicka who tanked and the clock was called eventually, during which Ruzicka folded. The entire hand lasted some 14 minutes and Guilbert chipped up without showdown.

Pyzara Runs Into a Set

Level 5 : 400/800, 800 ante

Kacper Dichev opened to 2,000 in middle position and was called by Christophe Panetti on the button. Kacper Pyzara re-raised to 8,500 in the big blind which only got called by Dichev.

The flop fell {k-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{2-Clubs} and Pyzara led out with a bet of 7,000. Dichev called and the {7-Clubs} landed on the turn. Pyzara fired out another bet of 20,000 and Dichev stuck around to see the {a-Spades} on the river.

Pyzara slid out a bet of 58,000, leaving himself with less than 1,000 behind. Dichev quickly called and Pyzara showed {a-Diamonds}{k-Hearts} for two pair. Dichev flipped over {3-Spades}{3-Hearts} for a set of threes and raked in the pot. Pyzara was eliminated just a couple of minutes later.
