Richard Hayes

Level 7 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Patrick White opened to 2,500 from middle position, and received a call from Elia Salerno in the small blind before Noah Sari three-bet jammed from the big blind for around 24,000. Both White and Salerno made the call.

On the Q♦4♥2♦ flop, Salerno checked to White, who jammed with the covering stack. Salerno asked for a count and made the call for his final 69,500.

Noah Sari: 9♦9♠ All in
Elia Salerno: J♦J♠ All in
Patrick White: Q♣J♥

White was ahead with top pair queens, but brutally, the J♣ appeared on the turn to give Salerno a set. The 3♣ hit on the river, and Salerno celebrated with gusto.

Sari was busted, and White was left in the red zone.

Level 7 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

There was an open from early position, and Christian Schneider called in the cutoff, before Andreas Goeller three-bet jammed for 30,200 from the button. The opener folded, but Schneider called after some thought.

Andreas Goeller: 8♦6♥ All in
Christian Schneider: K♣Q♣

Goeller needed some help, and picked up an open-ended straight draw on the 9♣7♦7♠ flop.

Schneider found a queen on the Q♦ turn to solidify his position, and the 8♥ river was not enough for Goeller to stay in it.

Level 7 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Tomislav Topcic opened to 2,500 from early position, and was met with a three-bet to 10,000 from Yannick Schumacher in middle position.

Max Neugebauer was in the next seat, and he cold four-bet to 25,000. Andrei Birgaoanu was in the small blind, and when action reached him, he contemplated the position for a moment before five-bet jamming for 62,800.

Topcic quickly folded, and Schumacher asked for a count. On being informed of the amount, Schumacher rejammed, forcing out Neugebauer.

Andrei Birgaoanu: Q♦Q♣ All in
Yannick Schumacher: K♦K♠

In a cooler, Birgaoanu had run queens into kings, and there was no unlikely escape on the A♦4♥4♦5♣8♦ runout.

Yannick Schumacher	460,000 85,000	85,000
Tomislav Topcic	140,000 10,000	10,000

Level 7 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Ratmir Kesidis opened to 2,500 from early position, and was faced with a three-bet jam to 35,000 from Robert Blaauwgeers in the next seat.

Action folded back to Kesidis, who asked for a count, and then shrugged and made the call.

Robert Blaauwgeers: 10♣10♠ All in
Ratmir Kesidis: A♣Q♣

It was a fair fight, and Blaauwgeers was still ahead after the 8♦4♦2♠ flop and K♣ turn, but the A♥ appeared on the river to send Blaauwgeers to the rail.
