Straight for Im

Maxime Taldir

Level 5 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Georges Sultanem opened to 1,100 from under the gun. Gaspare Sposato called in the hijack, as well as Vivian Im in the big blind.

All three of them checked on the turn 9♣8♣6♦. But after two checks, Sposato took the lead and bet 3,500. Im then chose to check-raise to 8,500. Sultanem quickly folded, but Sposato eventually called.

The 10♦ completed the board, but brought no more action. Im then revealed 10♣7♠ for a straight, while Sposato's cards went into the muck.

Level 5 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Illia Matus bet 1,000 from under the gun and was met with a raise to 4,000 from Jeevan Lobo in the cutoff. Ion Tabacaru raised to 11,500 from the button which gained a fold from Matus, but Lobo made the call.

The flop came J♥7♣6♠ and Lobo moved all in for 18,100. Tabacaru made a quick call which Lobo did not want to see.

Jeevan Lobo: A♥Q♣
Ion Tabacaru: A♣A♠

Lobo required running cards but they did not come as the 5♥2♠ completed the board to send him to the rail, while Tabacaru is amassing a nice stack.

With 3,800 in the middle with the turn showing Q♣Q♠5♥K♦, Maria Lampropulos bet 1,100 from the big blind and was called by Jeevan Lobo on the button.

Both players checked the 7♥ river and Lampropulos meekly tabled 2♥2♦ which turned out to be the winning hand as Lobo looked to the air in disgust and mucked his hand.

Level 5 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Candido Cappiello was called by both players in the blinds after he opened to 1,100 from the hijack.

The Italian player continued with a bet of 1,000 on the flop 4♥3♥J♦, but his opponents didn't back down and called.

However, on the turn 3♦, Cappiello slowed downed and checked back to find the K♥ on the river. After two checks, he bet 3,500. But Brett Bassock in the small blind folded, and Luigi Pignataro in the big blind folded too.

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

At 2023 WSOP $10,000 6-Handed Championship winner Alexandre Reard's table, Andreas Mueller-Heitrich raised to 1,000 from under the gun, and Jonathan Russo called in the big blind.

After a continuation bet of 1,800 on the flop K♠A♦5♦, Russo check-called. Then he check-called again a second barrel of 3,500 on the turn Q♠.

The Q♥ completed the board, but both players quickly checked. Russo had A♥9♥ and Mueller-Heitrich A♣9♣, so they split the pot.

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

With 10,000 in the middle on the turn showing A♥A♦9♣3♠, Vasileios Tsaknis on the button was all in for 11,700 and was called by Kimon Fountoukidis in the hijack.

Vasileios Tsaknis: 3♣3♥
Kimon Fountoukidis: A♣K♥

Fountoukidis walked into a sick cooler as Tsaknis made a boat on the turn. Tsaknis needed a nine, king or the case ace on the river to take the pot, but the 4♠ completed the board to secure Tsaknis the double up.

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Alexandre Viard opened to 900 from the hijack, and was only called by Maurizio Melara on the button.

On a flop of 8♥7♣7♥, Viard continued with a bet of 1,100, called by Melara. But on the turn K♥, Viard decided to check, so Melara took this opportunity to bet 2,500.

Viard check-called, and it was the last action of the hand as both players checked the river 6♥.

Viard then flipped his cards and showed 5♦5♥ for a flush. Melara looked at his cards, but threw them into the muck.
