Strong River Bet Gets it Done for Baroukh

Weiss

Nível 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Bernard Baroukh raised from middle position to 2,100, and Luca Falco, on the button, was the only caller.

A continuation-bet came from Baroukh, who made it 2,600 on the 10♥K♣4♦ flop. Falco once again just called.

The K♥ turn was then checked by both players.

Baroukh's early aggression in the hand withered as he checked the Q♥ river, before folding to a 6,000 bet from Falco, leaving both players with similar-sized stacks.

Rebai Felted with Aces vs Kings

Weiss

Nível 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

Mehdi Rebai got it all in on a flop of 4♥6♠3♣. Jean-Pierre Tseng snap-called and showed K♠K♦, while Rebai turned over pocket aces.

The turn fell a K♥ and the table took a collective gasp as Tseng sucked out.

The Q♥ river offered no salvation for Rebai, who busted out of the tournament in dramatic fashion.
