Torre Commits His Last Two Chips

Nível 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Giovani Torre and Siarhei Chudapal were heads-up on a flop of 2♣8♠K♦ and Torre had all but his last two blue 5,000 chips committed to the pot.

He began tanking before Chudapal called the clock. The floor then came to the table and told Torre since he had less than one big blind left he wouldn't be allowed to use any more time banks and would be given only a five-second clock every subsequent street.

Both players checked to the 8♥ turn where Torre tossed in his last chips. Chudapal called with 3♠3♥, while Torre had A♦6♦. The river came the 7♦ and Chudapal's pair of threes were enough to send Torre to the rail.

Marian Virlanuta: A♣3♠

Mahmoud Triples, Chouity Takes Out Friese in Three-Way All In

Nível 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Yassin Mahmoud moved all in for 155,000 in early position and Nicolas Chouity called from the hijack. Timothy Friese then reshoved for 360,000 in the cutoff as action folded back to Chouity, who tanked for a moment before calling having both opponents covered.

Yassin Mahmoud: K♥7♥
Timothy Friese: 9♦9♠
Nicolas Chouity: A♥J♣

"If you're thinking about it I'm probably all right," Friese said as he turned over his nines. "I was hoping you guys were blocking each other a little more," he added when he saw their cards.

The flop came Q♣A♦10♥ and Chouity took the lead with a pair of aces. The J♦ fell on the turn and Mahmoud made a straight, securing the triple up once the 2♥ fell on the river.

"Oh my God," he repeated as the main pot was pushed his way.

"It's been real," Friese said as he headed off to the payout desk.

Hosseinirami Sees Aces Cracked Versus Kings

Nível 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Seyedali Hosseinirami opened to 40,000 before Andrea Dato three-bet to 115,000. Jose Gonzalez Sanchez put in the four-bet to 275,000, which prompted Hosseinirami to move all in for 540,000. Dato got out of the way and Sanchez called.

Seyedali Hosseinirami: A♦A♥
Jose Gonzalez Sanchez: K♣K♠

Hosseinirami was on the right side of the preflop cooler and whipped out his phone to record the runout.

The 8♣2♦2♠ flop and 8♦ turn had him with one hand on the double-up. However, the K♥ river gave Sanchez a full house to take in the pot.

Hosseinirami threw his phone on the table in disappointment. What was supposed to be a nice Mediterranean memory quickly became a nightmare for the Iranian.

Julien Montois: J♦10♦
Michele Guerrini: K♦K♣

"I want that seat," Lybaert joked as the board ran out 9♥4♣4♥4♦3♣, sending Montois to the rail.

"Now I'm tilted," Lybaert added.
