[user38873]

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

On a completed board of 10♠8♣6♠2♦Q♦, Viacheslav Buldygin checked and Hugo Machado bet 14,000. Buldygin then check-raised to 34,500 for almost all of his stack, keeping just 1,500 in chips behind.

Machado asked for a count and was in the tank while Bryn Kenney arrived casually in a Japanese jacket, telling Lexy Gavin-Mather he "had a nice breakfast first". Machado called a few seconds later and Buldygin rolled over the Q♠8♠ for two pair, while Machado exposed his Q♣J♣.

The hand left Machado with three blinds and they vanished shortly after. Also featured on the table are Stan Jablonski, Dimitar Danchev, as well as Vlad Darie.

Set Good for Arduini

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

Daniel Custodio opened to 3,000 from early position and was called by FPS Paris Stade Jean Bouin 2023 champion Lorenzo Arduini in the cutoff, along with PokerStars Pro Ramon Colillas and Christos Argyriadis in the blinds.

The Q♣10♣2♦ flop was checked through by all players.

On the 4♣ turn action was checked to Arduini and he put out a bet of 6,500. Colillas folded but Custodio and Argyriadis both called.

The 8♣ river brought one-card flush possibilities and the street was checked through.

Argyriadis turned over Q♠9♥ for top pair queens but Arduini said "I can beat that" and turned over 4♥4♦ for a turned set of fours, which was good enough to send the pot his way.

Haiche Picks Off Ribeiro

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

EPT Prague champion Padraig O'Neill has chipped up to around 170,000 so far on Day 2, but he was a mere spectator this hand as tablemate Idir Haiche raised to 3,000 on the button. Bruno Ribeiro then three-bet to 15,000 in the big blind and Haiche called.

The flop came 8♦8♠9♣ and Ribeiro continued for 8,000. Haiche called and the 2♠ fell on the turn.

Ribeiro then moved all in and Haiche tanked for a minute before calling for his last 36,500. Ribeiro could only show A♠J♥ for ace-high, while Haiche turned over 10♦10♠.

The river was the 6♥ and Haiche's pocket tens held up to earn him the double up.
