Wiciak Getting Aggressive Near the Bubble

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

Four players saw a flop of 8♣Q♠3♦ where Fabrice Bigot bet 9,000 in the cutoff. Simon Wiciak called on the button, as did big blind Halil Tasyurek.

The turn came the 4♣ and action checked to Wiciak, who fired out 25,000. Both Tasyurek and Bigot quickly gave up their hands.

The next hand, Bigot raised to 6,000 before Wiciak three-bet to 25,000. Jon Vallinas in the big blind tanked for a minute before mucking, while Bigot snap-folded as Wiciak took down another pot.

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

Ankit Ahuja opened to 6,500 from middle position but was facing an all in three-bet from Simeon Spasov, who moved his stack of 52,000 chips into the middle from the big blind. Ahuja took a few minutes before making the call.

Simeon Spasov: A♠J♠
Ankit Ahuja: A♦10♦

Spasov remained ahead after the 3♠7♣2♠ flop and the 7♠ turn completed his flush to lock up the hand. The 4♠ river completed the board, as Ahuja slid his chips to the right.

Lococo Shoves Into Wigg's Monster Near the Bubble

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

Action folded to Anton Wigg in the small blind who raised to 10,000. Alejandro Lococo then moved all in for 55,000 in the big blind and Wigg snap-called.

Alejandro Lococo: K♦10♣
Anton Wigg: Q♠Q♦

Lococo had run into queens and was at serious risk of falling short of the money as the flop came 10♦J♦3♠, giving him some hope with a pair of tens. The 7♥ turn was no help, and neither was the 6♣ river as the Team PokerStars Pro made a quick exit from the tournament area less than 10 spots from the money bubble.

Luo Bluffs Big

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

Shuang Luo open-raised from under the gun and was faced with a three-bet to 18,000 from Metin Yalciner in the next seat over. The action folded back to Luo, who put out a four-bet of 56,000, which Yalciner eventually called.

The flop of 8♠8♥9♥ then saw Luo make a continuation-bet of 41,000 and Yalciner matched the bet. On the 8♦ turn, Luo inquired after her opponent's stack, which was 90,500. She then went all in with the covering stack and Yalciner snap-called.

Metin Yalciner: A♦A♣
Shuang Luo: 2♦2♣

"I think you win," Luo claimed. She was right, as the A♥ river upgraded Yalciner to a full house. He raked in a massive pot and obtained a big stack with the bubble fast approaching.

Orhan Ates: Q♦Q♣
Gary Miller: A♠K♥
