Metaal Cracks Gomez Casillas' Aces

Kai Cocklin

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

There were already around 100,000 in the middle on a board of 8♠9♥10♥3♥ when Govert Metaal bet 20,000 from the big blind and Jose Gomez Casillas raised to 82,500 from the hijack. Metaal then shoved around 150,000, and Gomez Casillas called.

Govert Metaal: 8♥8♦ All in
Jose Gomez Casillas: A♥A♦

Metaal had flopped a set, but needed to fade aces and hearts on the river as Gomez Casillas had the nut flush draw. The 2♠ river was clean for Metaal, and he doubled up.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Vlad Darie raised to 6,000 under the gun and Giuliano Bendinelli three-bet to 15,000 in middle position. Andrea Radicchi then four-bet to 37,000 on the button and Darie folded, but Bendinelli then five-bet to 80,000. Radicchi spent a few minutes in the tank before moving all in for 230,000, and Bendinelli snap-called.

Andrea Radicchi: A♦K♦ All in
Giuliano Bendinelli: K♣K♠

Bendinelli showed down two kings, while Radicchi was left looking for an ace in a massive pot. The 6♠4♣2♠ flop was no help, but Radicchi spiked the A♠ on the turn to take the lead. The river, though, was the 10♠ and Bendinelli made a flush to win the pot and send Radicchi to the rail.

"Always a sweat," Bendinelli said.

Giuliano Bendinelli	550,000 60,000	60,000

Vlad Darie	60,000 60,000	60,000

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Tzur Levy opened the button to 7,000 and was met by a three-bet to 21,000 from Dong He out of the small blind. Levy called.

He continued on the 2♣9♦10♣ flop with a bet of 24,000. Again, Levy called.

The 3♣ hit the turn and He opted to check. Levy placed out a bet, causing He to immediately return his cards to the dealer and forfeit the pot to Levy.

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Aleksandro Horn raised from early position before Pavel Binar jammed for 31,500 from the blinds. Horn made the call and the cards were tabled.

Pavel Binar: K♥J♥ All in
Aleksandro Horn: A♥8♦

Horn was slightly ahead with ace-high, but that changed on the J♣Q♠9♥ flop as Binar spiked a jack. Both players improved to straights when the 10♥ rolled off on the turn, although Binar was out in front with the higher straight. The 3♦ river was clean for Binar and he survived elimination.

Last year at King’s Resort, Simone Andrian took down the coveted 2024 World Series of Poker Europe Main Event bracelet and a career-best score of €1,300,000.

Andrian became the 15th player in history to win the WSOPE Main Event, triumphing over a field of 768 entrants. He ultimately defeated Urmo Velvelt in a gripping heads-up duel that lasted over three hours and saw the chip lead change hands multiple times.

“It’s amazing. By far the biggest score of my career. I couldn’t be more happy” he said following his victory. "I’ve been playing here a lot and to have that kind of score here feels special.”
