Terrible River for Mao

MaximeTaldir

Nível 30 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

In a blind versus blind situation, Michele Zullo in the small blind and Renji Mao discovered a flop of 7♣10♦5♣. After they agreed on 250,000 preflop, both of them added 100,000 to the pot.

But on the turn 3♥, Zullo decided to go all in for 1,200,000 chips. Mao when deep into the tank, but eventually called.

Michele Zullo: J♣8♣
Renji Mao: Q♣7♦

Mao called with the best hand. But the terrible 8♥ landed on the river, to give a better pair to Zullo.

Down to 125,000, Mao moved all in on the next hand from the small blind. He faced Zullo on the button and Dennis Magro in the big blind, who checked all the way through the board Q♠2♥4♦3♥4♠.

Renji Mao: 10♣2♣
Michele Zullo: A♦3♦
Dennis Magro: 8♦2♠

Mao didn't find any help, so he was eliminated just before the break.

Bussmann Snaps

Calum_Grant

Nível 30 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Samuel Stranak opened to 200,000 from under the gun and Daniel Bussman called from the big blind.

Bussman check-called bets of 165,000 and 300,000 on the flop and turn for the final board to read Q♥10♠2♥Q♠7♠.

Bussmann, with 700,000 behind, checked for a third time. Stranak, the bigger stack, moved all in and Bussman snap-called.

Stranak went runner-runner with his K♠6♠ to make a flush which enraged Bussmann. Phil Hellmuth may not be at the WSOPE, but Bussmann produced a fitting homage as he slammed his cards onto the table in disappointment. As he left, the dealer turned over his A♦2♦ which then went into the muck.

Nível 30 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Samuel Stranak bet 250,000 from the big blind on a flop of 8♠10♣8♥ before Alexandr Dusco moved all in for 1,100,000 in middle position.

Stranak tanked for several minutes before he called.

Alexandr Dusco: A♥10♥
Samuel Stranak: A♣K♠

Dusco was ahead with two pair, while Stranak just had ace-high heading to the Q♠ turn. The river brought the J♠ and Stranak made a running straight.

"No way. No way," Dusco cried out as he shot out of his seat.

"Sorry man. That was lucky," Stranak consoled Dusco before sending him off to the rail.

Ercan Atmaca moved all in for around 650,000 under the gun and Michele Zullo called in the cutoff, having Atmaca barely covered.

Michele Zullo: A♣K♠

Miroslav Hula: A♥3♥
Gianluca Gallo: Q♦Q♠

Both players smashed the Q♣3♠3♦ flop but Gallo remained ahead with his full house. Hula improved to a boat on the A♣ turn but remained behind. Hula had three outs but the 10♣ river wasn't what he needed and he exited the tournament.

Magro Misses Out as Lipauka Busts Balogh

dsalituro

Nível 29 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Andras Balogh moved all in for 955,000 in early position before Vadzim Lipauka reshoved next to act. Dennis Magro then went in the tank from the small blind.

"I know I win this one," he said as he eventually folded.

Andras Balogh: 6♣6♠
Vadzim Lipauka: 10♥10♣

Lipauka had Balogh crushed heading to the 7♥10♦9♥ flop, which improved him to top set.

"Maybe not," a tablemate told Magro as the J♥ fell on the turn. The river was the K♠ and Balogh was busted, while Magro admitted he folded ace-queen and would've made a straight.

"Give me my chips," he joked with Lipauka after the hand.

Xhavit Berisha: A♥4♣
