Pop Gets There Versus Saliba

Level 12 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Catalin Pop
Catalin Pop

In a battle of the blinds, a pot of 80,000 had brewed on a board of 9423Q in a hand between Vivian Saliba and Catalin Pop.

Saliba checked, and Pop slid out a big bet of 75,000, around half of Saliba's remaining stack.

Saliba thought it through for a reasonable period and ultimately put in calling chips. Pop tabled AQ for the rivered pair of queens, and Saliba mucked.

Although she didn't show, it seemed pretty clear from her reaction that Saliba was ahead until the river.

Kabrhel Causes Instant Carnage

Level 12 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Martin Kabrhel
Martin Kabrhel

Martin Kabrhel registered after dinner break and immediately caused havoc at his table.

In his first hand, Kabrhel opened to 9,000 from early position, and received calls from Nikolas Wicquart in the next seat and Marco Meisser in the big blind, Kabrhel goading them about not acting fast enough preflop.

On the KJ5 flop, action was checked to Kabrhel, who fired out a bet of 20,000, which only Wicquart called.

The 4 hit on the turn, and Kabrhel took quite a bit of time for thought before sliding out a double-barrel of 46,000. Wicquart had only been thinking it through for about 90 seconds, at least as long as Kabrhel took before betting, before Kabrhel called the clock.

The floor came over, and while they didn't immediately enforce the clock, Wicquart folded shortly after.

In the next hand, Kabrhel opened to 9,000 under the gun, and Dinesh Alt three-bet jammed from the big blind for around 65,000, receiving a snap-call from the Czech.

Dinesh Alt: A10 All in
Martin Kabrhel: QJ

Alt was ahead, but Kabrhel flopped the joint on K109, and Alt was up out of his chair, the 4 turn and Q river confirming his fate.

"Easy game," said Kabrhel, and on not getting much back from the table, continued, "Crazy jam this ace-ten, with no fold equity versus under the gun, very weak table."

You could feel the discomfort levels at the table rising considerably, and get the impression most of his table would rather be anywhere else on the planet right now.

Puetz Chips Up Slightly

Level 12 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Yannick Schumacher came in for a raise to 9,000 on the button, and Christopher Puetz defended his big blind.

Puetz checked the 8K10 flop and Schumacher placed out a bet of 7,000. Puetz stuck around with a call.

The K turn got checked by both players, and the Q completed the board. Another two checks came, and Puetz took down the pot with A8 for a pair of eights.

Szarka and Reichenstein Tangle

Level 12 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Uri Reichenstein opened from under the gun to 9,000 and then called a three-bet from Zoltan Szarka, who was in the big blind.

The flop came Q6K and Szarka continued with a bet of 25,000. Reichenstein flung in a chip to call and watched the Q pair the board on the turn. Another bet came in from Szarka, this time for 90,000, and Reichenstein snap-folded.

La Francesca Gets Paid by Langer; Sklenicka Puts Eychenne in the Blender

Level 12 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Alessio La Francesca raised to 8,000 on the button, Dirk Langer three-bet to 22,000 in the small blind, and La Francesca called.

Both players checked the 645 flop. Langer then bet 18,000 on the 8 turn, and La Francesca called.

Langer checked the K river and La Francesca bet 35,000. Langer snap-called, and La Francesca showed K4 for two pair to win the pot.

At another table, Michael Sklenicka bet 9,000 from the hijack on a flop of AK9 and Thomas Eychenne called on the button.

Sklenicka bet another 25,000 on the 6 turn and Eychenne again called. The river was the 6 and Sklenicka bet 75,000.

Eychenne agonized over the decision for nearly five minutes until folding, and Sklenicka took in the pot.

Speranzoni Bets Every Street

Level 12 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Alberto Speranzoni
Alberto Speranzoni

Alberto Speranzoni raised from the button and Boris Kuzmanovic defended the big blind.

Kuzmanovic check-called a bet of 16,000 by Speranzoni on the 1064 flop.

The 2 hit the turn and Kuzmanovic check-called another bet from Speranzoni, this time for 42,000.

Kuzmanovic checked for the last time on the J river and Speranzoni fired out 116,000. Kuzmanovic took almost two minutes before deciding to fold his cards and surrender the pot to Speranzoni.

Barzantny Gets All of Zarbo's Stack

Level 12 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Giuseppe Zarbo
Giuseppe Zarbo

Giuseppe Zarbo had just retaken his seat after the dinner break ended, but was up on his feet pretty quickly as he fell to Wojciech Barzantny.

The action was missed, but the chips appeared to go in preflop, with Zarbo at risk for around 100,000.

Giuseppe Zarbo: AQ All in
Wojciech Barzantny: AK

Zarbo was in trouble, but found some help on the QJ9 flop as he made top pair. Nobody has a diamond, which meant there was a flush draw on board when the 3 hit the turn. Barzantny probably was hoping for a chop, but instead he took the lot as the 10 river gave him Broadway, ending Zarbo's Main Event.
