Calum_Grant

Nível 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Jessica Teusl moved all in for 8,100 from early position, and Kassem Hammoud committed his last 5,600. Philip Joyce, with a big stack, called from the big blind to both players at risk.

Mulder Extracts Max Value With Set

Mwarburton

Nível 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Teun Mulder raised from under the gun and picked up three callers, including Adil Oubaaous in the small blind.

The flop came J♦3♥2♥. Action checked to Mulder, who bet 2,700. Only Oubaaous made the call. The turn was the A♠. Oubaaous led for 5,000 and Mulder called.

The river was the J♥. Oubaaous checked and Mulder moved all in for around 25,000.

Oubaaous took a moment and then made the call. He showed Ax10x for a pair of aces and Mulder showed 3♦3♠ for a set of threes. He'd extracted maximum value over three streets of action.

Oubaaous was left with around 16,000 chips, but has subsequently busted the tournament.
