Straight For Deyra

Nível 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

After an open by a player in early position to 1,000, Ivan Deyra called on the button, and both players in the blinds called too.

The dealer fanned a flop of 5♠6♠8♥ where Daniel Montagnolli in the small blind took the lead and bet 1,100. The big blind Javier Fernandez Alonso then decided to raise all in for 6,000. The initial raiser folded, and after some time, Deyra shoved too to make Montagnolli fold.

Javier Fernandez Alonso: A♣8♣
Ivan Deyra: 4♠3♠

With top pair against a straight flush draw, Fernandez Alonso was close to a double up. But the 7♣ on the turn completed Deyra's straight, and Fernandez Alonso was eliminated after the river J♦.

Vogel's EPT Turns Into a Nightmare

Nível 2 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

With around 4,000 in the pot on a flop of K♠4♥6♥, Florian Vogel bet 1,700 from the big blind before button Maksim Haitsiukevich raised to 5,200.

Vogel called and the 10♣ fell on the turn. Haitsiukevich then fired out 7,500, Vogel moved all in, and Haitsiukevich snap-called.

Vogel turned over A♥A♦, but Haitsiukevich showed him the bad news when he flipped over 6♣6♠ for a flopped set. The river came the J♥ and the stacks were counted down. Haitsiukevich had 22,500 remaining and barely had Vogel covered, sending him to the rail on the second level of the day with nothing but a bad beat story about how his aces were cracked.
