David Salituro

Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Tibor Koncz three-bet to 12,000 in the cutoff and Soraya Estrada called under the gun.

The flop came 3♦K♣9♦ and Koncz continued for 10,000. Estrada then raised to 22,000, Koncz moved all in, and Estrada called for around 40,000.

Soraya Estrada: Q♦10♦ All in
Tibor Koncz: A♦K♦

Both players had a flush draw, while Estrada also had a straight draw and Koncz had top pair and the lead. The 7♥ turn was no help to Estrada, while the 4♦ river gave both players a flush but it wasn't enough for Estrada to avoid hitting the rail.

Castriotta Cut from the Field

Calum Grant

Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Deborah Nizard opened to 5,000 from early position and was called by Vincent Ployet from the button. Angelo Castriotta squeezed to 19,500 from the big blind and both players called.

The A♠J♠9♦ flop checked to Ployet, who moved all in for 44,000. Castriotta rejammed for 51,000 before Nizard got out of the way.

Vincent Ployet: Q♠10♠ All in
Angelo Castriotta: A♣Q♣

Castriotta had the best hand but Ployet was very alive with his straight and flush draw.

The 9♣ was a brick but the K♦ river gave Ployet Broadway to leave Castriotta on crumbs.

Two hands later, Ployet opened to 5,500 and Castriotta put in the last of his chips. Uri Gilboa and Nizard called from the blinds. Ployet also continued to give action.

Action checked through to showdown for the final board to read 7♣6♣2♥6♦K♠.

Gilboa tabled K♣8♣ which bested Nizard and Ployet's Ax4x and AxQx. Castriotta flashed AxJx before leaving the table.

Big Pot Shifted

Sava Krink

Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Uri Gilboa raised from the cutoff to 5,500 and was called by Deborah Nizard, who was sitting right next to him on the button. Andrii Nikitin then made a three-bet to 30,000 from the big blind, and both players called.

On the Q♥5♦K♠ flop, Nikitin took the lead and bet 20,000. Gilboa called, and Nizard folded.

The dealer turned the A♠, and Nikitin fired another 35,000, which prompted Gilboa to fold.

The 130,000 pot went to Nikitin.

Olivier Dinand: A♠K♠ All in
Pedro Neves: A♣J♦
