Darie Leaves Hissou Short-Stacked

Kai Cocklin

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

There were already around 50,000 in the pot on a 9♦Q♣7♥A♣9♥ board when Sirzat Hissou checked from early position and Vlad Darie bet 32,000 from the button.

Hissou didn't need to think for too long before he called, then he mucked when he saw the A♦K♥ of Darie, who had top pair.

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

Gianmarco Benincasa jammed from the small blind and Sirzat Hissou called for his last 8,000 out of the big blind.

Sirzat Hissou: J♥8♥ All in
Gianmarco Benincasa: Q♥J♣

Hissou was dominated by Benincasa heading to the 9♠7♠A♣ flop that saw Hissou pick up a straight draw. However, the rest of the board came 6♥K♥ keeping Benincasa's queen-high in the lead, and Hissou was out.

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

With around 20,000 in the middle on a board of 5♥9♦7♠, Vlad Darie checked from early position and Marek Tomes bet 4,500 in the hijack. Darie then put in a raise to 21,000, which Tomes called.

When the K♦ hit the turn, Darie kept up the aggression with a bet of 24,000, which sent Tomes into the tank for around a minute before he eventually passed.

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

Simon Wilson made it 2,700 from middle position before Scott Reynolds three-bet from the button to 6,800. Wilson opted to call when it got back to him.

The two players checked a runout of A♠J♠3♣2♠A♣ all the way to the river, and after Wilson checked for the last time, Reynolds fired out 5,000. Wilson gave it a lot of thought and in the end, came to the decision to call. Reynolds turned over 8♥8♦ for a pair of eights, which was good enough to take down the pot as Wilson mucked.

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

Shashank Jain opened the button to 2,500 and Hans Bosman called in the small blind. Deniz Dogan, who reentered not too long ago, also called in the big blind.

On the 4♥8♥6♦ flop, it checked to Jain, who bet 3,000. Both Bosman and Dogan called to the 9♦ turn, which all three players checked.

When the 3♥ hit the river, Bosman checked and Dogan bet 5,000. Jain called, as did Bosman.

Jain then flipped over two pair with 6♥3♠, and that was good for the pot as his two opponents mucked.

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

Artem Kobylynskyi checked from the big blind on a flop of 3♠10♣5♣ and Dian Juma fired out a bet of 2,500 from the hijack. Kobylynskyi went for a check-raise to 7,800 and Juma stuck around with a call.

Kobylynskyi continued his aggression on the A♣ turn by betting out for 16,000. Juma again called.

A Q♥ completed the board and Kobylynskyi tossed out a bet of 36,000 into the middle. Juma mulled it over for almost two minutes before electing to slam in the call. Kobylynskyi turned over a flush with 7♣3♣ to take down the pot as Juma returned his cards to the dealer.

Wilson Staying Alive

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

Nourddine Chiha opened the hijack and then called the button shove of Simon Wilson, who had 18,300 in his stack.

Simon Wilson: K♦Q♠ All in
Nourddine Chiha: K♠10♥

Wilson was in a dominating position, and almost had it locked up after the 3♦K♥Q♥ flop gave him top two pair. Running cards were needed for Chiha to earn the knockout, but the Q♦ turn instead gave Wilson a full house.

A king on the river would have chopped it, but that wasn't to be as the 6♠ peeled off, earning Wilson a late double.

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

Grzegorz Gorski came in with a raise to 3,000 from under the gun with Marek Tomes calling from the cutoff and Jan Krnac defending his big blind.

The three players checked the 9♣8♣6♦ flop to see the 10♠ roll off on the turn. Krnac bet 3,000, which only Tomes called.

A 7♦ landed on the river, making a straight on the board. Krnac checked and then faced a bet of 7,000 from Tomes. Krnac chuckled, shook his head, and then made the call.

Tomes showed A♠J♦ for a jack-high straight to take down the pot.
