Muccini Catches Big Double-Up

Frank Visser

Level 13 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Davide Muccini and Eusebiu Jalba had created an 86,000 pot when the turn was dealt on 5♦J♠3♠8♥. Muccini then checked from the small blind before Jalba made a bet of 37,000 from the big blind. Muccini came out with a raise to 95,000 and Jalba called after a little thinking time.

The J♥ river then paired the board and saw Muccini revert to a check. Jalba then pushed all in, covering the 145,000 chips Muccini still had in his possession.

A snap call followed and Jalba tabled K♥K♦ for an overpair. However, it was greatly outclassed by the full house of Muccini, who played J♣8♣. Jalba slammed the table, but it could not prevent the massive pot being shipped Muccini's way.

Level 13 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

With around 75,000 in the middle and the flop showing 10♦K♥3♦, Stuart Rutter got his last 200,000 in the middle from the hijack against Stoyan Madanzhiev in middle position.

Stuart Rutter: A♣A♠
Stoyan Madanzhiev: K♣10♣

Madanzhiev had flopped top two pair to leave Rutter needing help with his aces, but none arrived on the 2♥ turn or 9♣ river as Madanzhiev scooped the big pot and sent Rutter off with nothing but a bad beat story.

The 2023 World Series of Poker Europe is in full flow, with proceedings for the record-breaking €10,350 Main Event currently underway at King's Resort in Rozvadov.

Level 13 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

The stack of Ole Schemion had dwindled as of recently and he ultimately got it in against Quan Zhou in a battle of the blinds with both players turning over ace-rags.

Ole Schemion: A♥2♦
Quan Zhou: A♦6♦

The 7♠5♣4♣ flop and J♦ turn provided no help and the 6♣ river only improved Zhou to a pair of sixes.

Nearly even in chips, Bertrand Grospellier clashed with Timothy Adams and the following cards were revealed.

Bertrand Grospellier: 8♦8♥
Timothy Adams: J♣J♠

Adams was ahead with his superior pocket pair and that remained to be the case throughout the 6♣3♣3♦9♠A♠ board to send Grospellier to the rail.

Level 13 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Dimtrijs Prohorovs raised to 10,000 from the hijack, and both blinds Matas Cimbolas and Leon Sturm called. The flop of Q♣4♥Q♥ was then checked to Prohorovs, who continued with another 10,000 bet. Cimbolas folded but Sturm had other plans and put in a raise to 32,000.

Prohorovs called and the 9♦ turn was dealt. Sturm kept up the aggression with a bet of 65,000, and once more Prohorovs made the call.

On the 6♠ river, Sturm went for a sizing of 160,000. Prohorovs thought about it for a little while before deciding he could not fold. He called and saw the bad news when Sturm tabled K♣Q♦ for trip queens. Prohorovs showed his Q♠ before cutting out the call from his stack.

By winning this pot Sturm passed the one million-chip mark.

Player	Chips	Progress
Leon Sturm	1,194,000 494,000	494,000

Dmitrijs Prohorovs	260,000 120,000	120,000

Level 13 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Mihai Niste raised from under the gun and picked up two callers including Jean Gessis in the big blind. On the 10♣3♦2♣ flop, all three players checked and Gessis led the 9♦ turn for 16,000. Niste raised to 52,000 and Gessis was the only caller to then check the 5♠ river.

Niste made it 155,000 to go for more than the size of the pot, forcing a reluctant fold from Gessis.

Mihai Niste	530,000 290,000	290,000

Level 13 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Pascal Pflock pushed all-in for the last 61,000 on the button and Jonas Hagström in the small blind eyeballed the stack of Zdenek Zizka in the big blind before coming along, Zizka folded.

Pascal Pflock: A♣10♣
Jonas Hagström: 9♣9♦

The classic flip ran out in favour of Pflock on the A♦7♠4♠3♦10♦ board, giving the Austria resident two pair.
