Berec Busts Another

Facing a raise in the cutoff Jozef Berec moved all in for over 45,000. The original caller made the call for his tournament life tabling {A-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds} to be a heavy favourite against Berec's {A-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}.

However an 8-high board would bring glee to Berec and dismay to his opponent as Berec now sits with a healthy 81,000 in chips.

Peter Aristidou opened from late position to 2,200 and found a caller in Steven Swalling.

On a board of {k-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} Aristidou led for 5,000 and was met with a min-raise to 10,000 from Swalling. Aristidou called and then moved his remaining 15,000 chip stack into the middle when the {J-Clubs} landed on the turn.

Swalling made the call tabling {A-Spades}{A-Clubs} but would have to sweat the river up against Aristidou's pair and flush-draw with {J-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}. The river however would land the {6-Clubs} and Aristidou would head to rail as Swalling would move up to over 73,000 in chips.

Sach Out

Jozef Berec opened to 3,000 from under-the-gun and with the action folding round to Jim Sachinidis on the button he moved all-in for his last 9,000. Berec made the call tabling {A-Spades}{A-Hearts} while Sachinidis would need some help tabling {Q-Hearts}{Q-Spades}.

The first card out on the PokerPro generated flop was the {Q-Diamonds} but that was quickly followed by the {A-Clubs} and {3-Diamonds}. The turn was an even more savage blow falling the {A-Diamonds} making quads for Berec and ending Sachinidis' tournament.
