Roelofsen Out After Suffering Cooler

Nível 2 : Blinds 100/200, 0 ante

Koen Roelofsen was left with but a few chips after running his pocket kings into the aces of Conor Harkin, and they went in on a flop of 4♠6♣6♠. Both Hugh Parker and John Deschamp were interested and made the call.

The 6♦ turn created a side pot as both players put in 1,000 chips more, after which Parker tossed in another bet of 2,500 on the J♣ river.

Deschamp made the call and the side pot was chopped as both players had the same full house, with Parker tabling 10♥4♥ and Deschamp showing 5♦4♣. Roelofsen's 8♣7♥ was no match and he swiftly exited the tournament area.

Waters Catches Big Bluff

Nível 2 : Blinds 100/200, 0 ante

Tom Waters and Shoib Gulamhussein were looking at a completed board of 6♥K♦9♠8♠6♣, where Waters made a bet of 3,500 from the big blind into a pot of 10,000.

Gulamhussein then moved in for 17,700 chips and Waters asked for a count. After receiving it, he flicked in a call and a showdown was had.

Gulamhussein tabled J♥8♥ for two pair, eights and sixes, which were outclassed by the rockets of Waters. His A♠A♦ for aces and sixes raked in him the pot while Gulamhussein swiftly vacated the table.

Sapiano Reads Spragg Like a Book

Nível 2 : Blinds 100/200, 0 ante

Albert Sapiano and Marle Spragg were heads up on a completed board of 2♦K♠6♦3♥4♣, with around 18,000 chips in the middle. Spragg checked out of the small blind before Sapiano went all in for 10,000 on the button.

Spragg quickly called and Sapiano tabled 5♠5♦ for the rivered straight. Spragg showed A♦K♣ for a no-good top pair and was left with one-third of a starting stack.

"Didn't expect that, did you?" Sapiano quipped. "I put you on ace-king as well," he shared while stacking up his chips.

Black Chips Back Up

Nível 3 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

On a completed board of 10♣Q♣2♦3♣7♦, Aurismas Baksinskas made a bet of 1,100 into the pot of 3,500 from under the gun. Andy Black sat on the button and made a raise to 3,000.

Baksinskas swiftly called and Black tabled 10♠7♥ for two pair. Baksinskas' A♦Q♥ disappeared into the muck and Black raked in a much-needed pot.

Laidlaw Four-Bets Beltz

Nível 3 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Dan Laidlaw had open-raised from the hijack, after which Wouter Beltz put in a three-bet to 2,500 from the small blind. Laidlaw responded by reraising to 5,500, and Beltz made the call.

On the 5♥K♠2♣ flop, Beltz check-called the 2,500 bet Laidlaw put in, after which the Q♦ turn and J♠ river were checked down.

Laidlaw showed K♥6♥ for top pair, and Beltz could only nod his head as he relinquished his cards and the pot.

Federico Shows Nedelcu

Nível 3 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

With 15,000 chips already in the middle, John Federico checked in the cutoff to Narcis Nedelcu on the button. Nedelcu made a bet of 10,000 on the 4♦J♠7♠Q♣Q♥ board, which Federico raised to 22,500, an all-in bet.

Nedelcu was barely covered by this all-in and went deep into the tank. "Will you show me one if I fold?" he asked after some time, to which Federico answered affirmatively.

After some more time, Nedelcu let his hand go and Federico showed the Q♠. "No good," Nedelcu concluded as the pot was shipped Federico's way.
