Calum_Grant

Nível 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Jorge Rios opened to 4,000 from early position before Sergio Brignoli made it 12,000 from the cutoff. Rios four-bet to 27,000 and was called.

Rios continued for 7,500 on the A♦K♣J♥ flop and snap-called for his last 40,000 after Brignoli moved all in as the bigger stack.

Jorge Rios: KxKx
Sergio Brignoli: Q♣10♣

Both players had huge hands, with Rios having a set of kings while Brignoli had flopped the stone-cold nuts.

The 6♦5♣ runout failed to fill Rios up, and he left the table following the coldest of decks.

Di Pietro Runs into Aces in Back-to-Back Hands

Calum_Grant

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

Luca Di Pietro opened to 3,500 from under the gun before PokerStars Team Pro Julien Brecard three-bet to 8,000 from the hijack. Giuseppe Zarbo called from the cutoff before Di Pietro moved all in for 84,000. Brecard rejammed as the slightly bigger stack and Zarbo folded.

Luca Di Pietro: Q♣Q♠ All in
Julien Brecard: A♣A♦

Brecard remained ahead following the J♣10♠8♣ flop and 7♠ turn, but the 9♦ river gave Di Pietro a straight to leave the Frenchman short. He's been eliminated shortly after.

The following hand, Di Pietro opened to 3,500 again. Michele Perego made it 11,500 and action folded back to Di Pietro. He moved all in and Perego called off the 20,000 he had behind.

Michele Perego: A♥A♠ All in
Luca Di Pietro: K♥10♥

Di Pietro paired up on the K♠Q♠5♥ flop to give him another chance of cracking aces. The A♦ turn left Di Pietro drawing to Broadway, which failed to come in after the 6♦ completed the board.

Perego breathed a huge sigh of relief and collected the pot.

Peters Benefits From Accidental Raise

Calum_Grant

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

Cyprien Chassagne opened to 2,600 from middle position and was called by Dominque Usai, Robert james and Gianfranco Iaculli. Tobias Peters also came along from the big blind.

The K♠10♥2♥ flop checked through to the 8♥ turn, where Peters led out for 7,300. Chassagne tried to call but accidentally included an extra T-5,000 chip as he slipped his chips into the middle. The dealer ruled that he would have to make the minimum raise to 14,600.

With that, Usai and James quickly folded, while Iaculli spent some time in the tank before folding. Action was back on Peters, who jammed for 41,800.

Chassagne asked for a count but wasn't thrilled about the spot.

"Expensive misclick," he said as he called.

Tobias Peters: 7♥3♥ All in
Cyprien Chassagne: Q♥J♠

Peters was ahead with his flush and the 10♣ river ensured his double up.

Dalfo Fires Away at Estrada

dsalituro

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

Heads-up on a flop of J♦6♣2♣, Ladislao Dalfo bet 3,500 from early position and Soraya Estrada called under the gun.

The turn was the 3♠ and Dalfo bet another 8,000. Estrada again called and the 2♦ fell on the river.

Dalfo then moved all in and Estrada called for her last 12,000. She showed K♥J♠, but Dalfo had A♦J♥ for top pair, ace-kicker to send the PokerStars Silver Path winner to the rail.

Laugt Flops a Set; Still Busts

Calum_Grant

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

Bo Alm opened to 3,000 from early position and was called by Georgios Vrakas from middle position.

Quentin Laugt jammed for 24,000 from the hijack and then Andreas Vlachos rejammed as the bigger stack from the cutoff. Alm and Vrakas folded and the cards went on their backs.

Quentin Laugt: 4♦4♥ All in
Andreas Vlachos: Q♥Q♠

Laugt began leaving his seat, but a tablemate told him to sit back down after he made a set on the 8♠4♠3♠ flop. Laugt then sort of hovered as his opponent had outs to the flush. The turn was a brick, but the 5♠ river gave Vlachos the winner.

"Well, it was nice playing with you anyways," said the same tabelmate.

Nível 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Gerard Carbo, a Power Path qualifier, opened to 2,000 from middle position and Theo Milioni defended his big blind.

Milioni check-called bets of 1,500 and 5,000 for the final board to read K♦9♥5♠3♦J♣. Milioni checked for a third time and Carbo jammed for 10,800. Millioni, who only just had Carbo covered, went deep into the tank for several minutes before deciding to call.

Carbo tabled K♣5♣ for two pair and Milioni mucked. His cards were never revealed and he was eliminated shortly after.

Nível 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Andreas Vlachos and Ladislao Dalfo built a pot of around 25,000 as they went to the turn on a flop of 6♦4♣2♣. Dalfo then bet 5,000 from the small blind and Vlachos called in middle position.

The turn was the 3♦ and Dalfo moved all in. Vlachos called for his last 16,500 with A♥4♥, but he was behind the K♣K♦ for Dalfo.

The river came the 4♦ and Vlachos spiked trip fours to win the pot and double up.

Nível 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Sebastien Maestrati had a raise of 7,000 in front of him from the small blind before Ilan Cohen moved all in for 34,000 in early position. Maestrati called.

Ilan Cohen: A♣K♣ All in
Sebastien Maestrati: J♣J♠

Cohen couldn't look and lowered his head toward the ground as the dealer spread out the 6♠5♦Q♠3♦9♣ board. He finally peeked at the cards and realized he hadn't connected against Maestrati's jacks, sending him to the rail.

Benjamin Bruneteaux: 3♦3♣ All in
Diana Kalietina: A♦8♥

The K♦4♥Q♠ flop kept Bruneteaux in the lead, while the turn came the 3♠ to give him a set. The river was the 7♦ and Bruneteaux doubled up.
