Betrix's Aces Prevail as Hallabro's Queens Fall Short

Sava Krink

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Manoe Betrix, seated under the gun, opened the action with a raise to 2,400, only to face a three-bet from Marcus Hallabro, who pushed it up to 10,000. After a moment's reflection, Betrix decided to call.

On the flop of 6♣10♣7♥, Hallabro checked, and Betrix seized the opportunity to bet 16,000. Hallabro went deep into the tank before ultimately deciding to go all-in. Betrix snap-called, revealing A♥A♠. Hallabro showed Q♦Q♠, holding a decent pair of queens but needing some help from the turn and river to turn the tide.

The dealer turned over the J♠ and 9♣, but there was no miracle for Hallabro, allowing Betrix to secure another double-up.

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Carlo Savinelli opened from the cutoff to 2,500. Stephen Nahm reraised to 7,000 from the button. Patrick Baranyai called in the small blind.

Both Baranyal and Savinelli checked to Nahm who bet 14,000 on the 9♣7♣5♦ flop. Both Baranyal and Savinelli called. They both checked again to Nahm who sized up to 55,000 on the J♦ turn. Baranyal then moved all in for 109,000.

Savinelli went deep into the tank. Three minutes elapsed before the clock was called on him and a member of floor staff came over to mediate the situation. He was even given longer than the usual allotted 30 seconds.

After another few minutes go by, some of his tablemates suggested he had had enough time. Savinelli then requested to speak to the tournament director. He came over and the situation was explained to him. He gave Savinelli 30 seconds to act. Seconds go by and he makes the call, as does Nahm, who had both players covered.

Carlo Savinelli: J♥9♥ All in
Patrick Baranyai: 7♠7♥ All in
Stephen Nahm: Q♣Q♦

The 6♥ river meant Baranyal scooped a sizable pot and Savinelli was sent to the rail in what could have been the longest running hand of play today in this tournament.

Manoe Betrix started the action from under the gun with a raise to 2,000 and got a call from the player on the button.

Manoe Betrix: 10♠10♦ All in
Ioannis Temekonidis: 9♥9♣

Temekonidis needed help from the board to catch up, but the cards fell 4♦4♠6♦4♣K♦, offering no assistance. Betrix's tens held, securing him a crucial double-up.

Glib Karpov moved all in from the button for 14,100. Paul Runcan called in the big blind and had Karpov covered.

Glib Karpov: A♠7♠
Paul Runcan: A♦K♠

Runcan's Big Slick couldn't hold across the 6♠6♥7♥2♣9♠ runout and Karpov secured a double up.

In the next hand, Yohay Bullkich opened from under the gun to 2,200. Daniel Lakerveld called on the button before Runcan moved all in from the big blind for 18,500. Bullkich then reraised all in to isolate Runcan's stack. Lakerveld then moved all in for 55,200. He had Runcan covered but not Bullkich.

Paul Runcan: K♥Q♠ All in
Daniel Lakerveld: J♦J♥ All in
Yohay Bullkich: 9♣9♥

Lakerveld's jacks held over the A♥8♠10♣4♥5♥ to more than double up and send Runcan to the rail.

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Jessica Teusl had been short-stacked for a long time before she finally shoved her last 5,400 from the small blind, getting a call from Tudor Zapsa in the big blind.

At showdown, Zapsa revealed A♣9♥. Teusl, seeing the ace, remarked, "Of course you have an ace. Dealer, please give me a seven," as she turned over Q♥7♣.

The dealer spread the flop and turn: K♦6♥K♥2♦. Teusl quickly switched tactics, now asking for a queen. But instead, the 7♦ appeared on the river, giving her the much-needed double-up and keeping her in the game.
