OHairDJ

Nível 19 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Vasileios Panagiotou opened to 22,000 from middle position and was called by Martin Sejer in the small blind.

Sejer check-called a 25,000 bet from Panagiotou on the 7♣A♥6♣ flop and a 60,000 bet from Panagiotou on the J♥ turn.

The 2♣ completed the board and Sejer shoved for his last 64,000. Panagiotou put in a single chip to denote a call and Sejer turned over J♣8♣ for a rivered flush. Panagiotou couldn't beat it and mucked — awarding Sejer the double up.

Di Grande Coolers Tarsia

Nível 19 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

With about 50,000 in the middle and the board reading A♣4♥5♠3♠, Brandon Leetz checked and Giuseppe Tarsia bet 16,000. Adrien Di Grande made the call on the button and Leetz also called.

The river came the 7♣ and action checked around to Di Grande, who bet 45,000. Leetz got out of the way and Tarsia made the call.

Di Grande showed down Q♥6♥ for a rivered straight and Tarsia's hand hit the muck while Di Grande dragged in a healthy pot.

Tarsia would later say that he had pocket aces for top set.
