Clement Tripodi had just given up a pot against Daniel Harwood and it was then checked to the Frenchman on the button. Tripodi raised to 210,000 and Yuriy Boyko flat-called from the small blind. Lam Van Trinh moved all in and Tripodi folded after brief consideration, while Boyko quickly asked for a count when it was his turn to act.
The shove of Trinh was for 1,500,000 and Boyko called to put his opponent at risk.
Lam Van Trinh:
Yuriy Boyko:
The flop saw Boyko take the lead with a pair of queens, and both the turn and river failed to improve Van Trinh. He was eliminated in 8th place for a payday of £12,150.
Ludovic Geilich opened the action with a raise from the hijack and Clement Tripodi called on the button. On the flop, Geilich continued for 230,000 and was soon after met by a raise of Tripodi. The Frenchman made it 510,000 in total and Geilich called, then checked on the turn.
Tripodi bet 625,000 with 1,350,000 behind and Geilich carefully checked his remaining stack before sending the cards into the muck.
Yuriy Boyko opened for 175,000 from under the gun and Lam Van Trinh, one of the short stacks, moved all in from UTG+1.
Action folded back round to Boyko who gave it some thought. “It’s not my favourite hand.” Van Trinh said and shortly after Boyko folded and they were left guessing what Van Trinh had.
A few hands later it was action on Eric Cech and he moved all in. A succession of players peeked at their cards but none found a call.
