Spencer Left With a Starting Stack

Nível 14 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Lewis Spencer and Natan Chauskin were heads up in a pot of 30,000 chips. With a flop of A♦J♠4♣ on the table, Spencer checked from middle position to Chauskin in the hijack. Chauskin made a bet of 18,500, which Spencer called.

Spencer then checked the subsequent 3♣ turn as well and Chauskin promptly jammed all in, covering Spencer's 55,000 remaining chips. Spencer swiftly folded, awarding the pot Chauskin.

Sanan Snags Two in a Row

Nível 14 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Deividas Daubaris opened under the gun to 5,500 before getting called by Adrian Mateos in middle position and Satish Sanan in the small blind.

The 8♥K♦J♥ flop checked all the way to Mateos who bet 6,500. He got called by Sanan but Daubaris folded.

The 9♥ landed on the turn and action checked through to a K♠ river. Sanan opted to lead this river for a larger sizing of 20,000. Mateos pondered the bet for almost a minute before finding a fold. Sanan dragged the pot and was involved in the very next hand.

On the next shuffle:

Diogo Coelho opened under the gun to 5,000 before getting a call from Benjamin Spragg in middle postion. The action then folded to Sanan on the button who put in a three-bet to 15,000. Both players called.

The 8♥K♣10♠ flop checked over to Sanan who put out a pot-sized bet of 45,000. That was more than enough to get both of his opponents off their hands and Sanan scooped his second pot in a row.

Big Pot For Talbot

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

Dario Sammartino raised to 5,500 from middle position, and he was called by Parker Talbot on the button. Enrico Camosci in the big blind called too, and all three of them discovered the flop 8♥Q♠J♠.

Sammartino bet 6,500 and Talbot called, but Camosci gave up at this point. Then on the turn Q♣, Sammartino fired a second barrel of 21,000, and Talbot called again.

On the river 3♦, Sammartino slowed down and checked. Talbot took this opportunity to bet 52,000, almost all his stack. Sammartino went into the tank for more than a minute. And he eventually called, but mucked his cards after Talbot showed A♠Q♥ for trips.

Nitsche Limps, But Forgets To Pimp

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

The action folded to Dominik Nitsche in the cutoff and he called the big blind of 2,500. Edilson Rodrigues then completed the small blind before Benjamin Lebor made a raise to 13,000 from the big blind. Nitshce made the call and Rodrigues folded.

Lebor continued for a small bet of 8,000 on the J♠8♥3♠ flop and Nitsche called. The 8♦ turn then saw Lebor bet 15,000, after which Nitsche put in a raise to 50,000. His opponent made the call and the A♠ river was dealt.

Lebor promptly led out for 70,000 and Nitsche quickly mucked his cards, forfeiting the unconventionally played pot to Lebor.

Mateos Busts Papazian in Four-Bet Pot

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

The action in this hand was caught on the river, but Wooram Cho was kind enough to provide PokerNews with the details of the hand.

After an open from Satish Sanan from middle position, Alexandru Papazian three-bet from the button before Adrian Mateos made a four-bet from the small blind. The action folded back to Papazian, who made the call.

Mateos then bet two streets on the 9♣4♥2♣4♠ board and Papazian called twice. The pair then arrived on the 6♠ river, having created a pot of roughly 150,000 chips. Mateos then jammed all in, covering Papazian 37,500 stack.

Papazian used multiple time bank extensions and repeeked his cards several times before committing to the call. Mateos tabled K♠K♦, after which Papazian flung his cards into the muck. The dealer retrieved the 7♠7♥ he called with and Mateos was awarded the big pot.

Talbot Off to Great Start

Nível 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

PokerStars' Parker Talbot was one of the players who registered at the start of the day. He saw a flop of 2♣3♦9♠ against his opponent Enrico Camosci. Talbot checked from the hijack and Camosci followed suit on the button.

Talbot then checked again on the 7♦ turn before Camosci made a bet of 7,000 into the 15,000 pot. Talbot responded with a raise to 24,000 and Camosci quickly folded.

The very next hand, Talbot raised to 5,000 from middle position and received a call from button Ghassan Bitar. Dario Sammartino then made a three-bet to 24,000 from the big blind before Talbot reraised to 47,000. Bitar got out of the way and Sammartino needed to spend three time bank extenstions to reach the same conclusion, forfeiting the pot to the Canadian streamer.

Mateos Sends Badziakouski to the Rail

Nível 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Adrian Mateos opened the cutoff to 4,000 before the action made it to fellow high stakes pro Mikita Badziakouski in the small blind.

After a moment he sent in his remaining 25,000 chips and Mateos snap called.

Mikita Badziakouski: 4♠4♦
Adrian Mateos: 5♠5♦

The dealer would bring no help to Badziakouski on the 6♦K♠8♣2♣A♥ board and he would hit the rail at the hands of Mateos.

Yokosawa Yeets Rocco out of the High Roller

Nível 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

In a modest pot, there was a board of 5♣A♣J♦7♣ in the middle. Masato Yokosawa and Michael Rocco were heads up when the former checked from the big blind before the latter bet 4,000 from middle position. Yokosawa called and the 4♣ river brought the fourth club on the board.

Yokosawa now led out for 8,500 chips, enough to put Rocco all in. Rocco mulled it over for a while before slamming in his final chips, revealing [a9c] for a middling flush.

However, Yokosawa played the higher flush with K♣8♦ and knocked out his opponent.

Martirosian Breaks Even

Nível 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Artur Martirosian had lost some chips at the start of the day before he shoved all in for 59,500 after earlier action from Eros Calderone on the button. Calderone then made the call with the covering stack and the cards were tabled.

Artur Martirosian: 9♥9♣
Eros Calderone: A♠Q♦

Calderona was visibly not happy when the board ran out J♦3♠J♥5♦K♣, resulting in him doubling up the Russian high roller while being left with less than ten big blinds in the process.
