Banic Flushes Out Yilmaz

Christian Zetzsche

Level 13 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

In a preflop all-in, Ertan Yilmaz had the best of it with J♦J♥ against the 10♦10♣ of Ivan Banic. The K♣J♣4♣ flop gave Yilmaz a set of jacks but Banic increased his outs with the club flush draw. Nothing changed on the 3♦ turn but the 2♣ river sealed his fate in cruel fashion.

Level 13 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Andrea Radicchi bet 9,000 from the button on a flop of Q♦10♣6♠ before Ivan Banic raised to 28,000 in the big blind. Radicchi then moved all in for 115,000, and Banic called.

Andrea Radicchi: A♥K♠ All in
Ivan Banic: Q♥10♥

Banic had flopped two pair, while Radicchi was on a straight draw. The J♥ turn gave Radicchi his straight and left Banic needing to fill up on the river to score the knockout, but he missed the 4♦ and Radicchi doubled up.

Level 13 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Max Kruse came in with a raise to 10,000 from the hijack, only for Stanislav Koleno to three-bet to 25,000 from the cutoff. Lukas Pazma cold-called out of the big blind, and Kruse also called after putting on his sunglasses.

The action checked to Koleno on the 9♠7♣7♦ flop, and he fired out a bet of 15,000. Pazma and Kruse called.

All three players checked the 7♠ turn to see the 10♠ complete the board. Pazma led out for 60,000, causing Kruse and Koleno to fold.

Christian Schneider: Q♥Q♦

Level 13 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Jeannette Mendez got her stack of 68,000 into the middle from the button, with Michele Tocci being the player trying to eliminate her from the small blind.

Jeannette Mendez: A♥5♥ All in
Michele Tocci: 7♦7♣

Tocci's pocket sevens were ahead, but Mendez had an ace or some hearts she could hit to survive.

A flop of J♣5♣Q♦ gave Mendez a pair and the J♠ on the turn offered up some counterfeit outs. The dealer burned a card and produced the 5♠ on the river to give Mendez a boat, and she doubled up.

Heads-up on a flop of J♥9♦7♠, Josef Gulas bet 15,000 from early position and Kestutis Jungevicius called on the button.

The turn was the 6♥ and Gulas bet another 35,000. Jungevicius again called, and they both checked the 7♣ river.

Gulas showed K♥Q♥, while Jungevicius had 6♦5♦ for two pair as Gulas gave him a quzzicial look while handing over the pot.

Level 13 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Around 60,000 was in the middle, on a completed board of 10♥8♣5♦6♦7♥, in a hand between Georgios Zisimopoulos in middle position, Carlos Spoddig on the button, and Luigi Pignataro in the small blind.

Action was checked to Zisimopoulos , who fired out a bet of 24,000. Spoddig jammed for 108,000, and Pignataro called, which convinced Zisimopoulos to fold.

Pignataro confidently tabled 9♥8♥ for the ten-high straight, but Spoddig had him pipped with J♠9♠ for the jack-high straight.

Carlos Spoddig	320,000 190,000	190,000

Level 13 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Aleksei Vandyshev and Andrei Spataru collided again in a pot, where the former got some chips back.

The full board read 6♥9♠A♦5♦6♣, and with around 80,000 in the pot, Spataru had bet 30,000 from under the gun before Vandyshev bumped it up to 113,000 from the hijack.

Spataru was thinking for some time, and while he was deciding how to proceed, Vandyshev was slumped over the table with his head in his arms. After Spataru eventually called, Vandyshev needed to be nudged to get him to reveal his cards.

Vandyshev then showed a full house with A♠A♥, and Spataru pitched his cards back to the dealer.

"You should have paid him 50 euros," joked Max Avela to Spataru, in reference to an earlier hand where Vandyshev paid Spataru to see his cards.

Level 13 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Alessio La Francesca three-bet to 38,000 and Georgios Tsouloftas called as they headed to the K♦9♥4♠ flop. The Cypriot checked before calling a bet worth 18,000 and the Q♠ turn was checked through. After the A♦ river, Tsouloftas bet 58,000 and La Francesca folded.

Tsouloftas smacked the 8♦7♦ on the felt with the words, "Finally I get you," before adding, "Let's play some poker!"
