Molnar Applies Pressure

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Daniel Melten, Laszlo Molnar and Roman Hrabec all saw a flop of {10-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}.

Melten check-raised to 200,000 after Molnar had bet 60,000 and Hrabec had called.

Molnar checked his cards and took some time before going all in for 900,000 total.

Hrabec and Melten let their hands go and Molnar took down a nice pot just before the break.

Sturm Doubles Through Melten

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Leon Sturm was all in from the small blind for 505,000 against Daniel Melten in the big blind.

Leon Sturm: {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}
Daniel Melten: {a-Spades}{k-Spades}

It was a classic race with Sturm holding the pocket pair and Melten having the overcards. The flop came {5-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{2-Hearts} which put Sturm way in front. There would be no drama as the turn came the {6-Spades} and the {q-Diamonds} to keep Sturm alive and give him the double up.

Gascoigne Eliminates Lococo

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Action folded to Alejandro Lococo in the small blind who raised to 85,000 leaving a 5,000 chip behind. Ian Gascoigne was in the big blind and called exposing his hand {5-Clubs}{5-Hearts}.

The flop came {k-Spades}{6-Clubs}{4-Spades} and Lococo checked to Gascoigne who moved all in for 5,000 effective. Lococo went into the tank before calling.

Alejandro Lococo: {9-Spades}{7-Hearts}
Ian Gascoigne: {5-Clubs}{5-Hearts}

Lococo needed to pair his hand. The {4-Diamonds} on the turn didn't help. The river was the {3-Diamonds} which eliminated the PokerStars Team Pro ambassador from the tournament.

Roberts Rivers Alexander

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Gabriel Antoine David Roberts
Gabriel Antoine David Roberts

On a board of {a-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{k-Hearts} Gabriel Roberts slowly slid a large stack of 25,000 chips into the middle, putting his opponent, Lucas Alexander all in.

Alexander made the call and quickly flipped his hand over, {q-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} for the nut straight and was up against Roberts' flopped set with {10-Clubs}{10-Spades}.

Alexander was a big favourite to win the hand but needed to fade the board pairing. The river fell the {k-Spades} and Roberts improved to a full house and sent Alexander out of the tournament.

With this hand Roberts is now one of the largest stacks in the room.
