Grieco Rivers Two Pair for the Loss

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

An all-in triangle was put in front of Nicola Grieco's stack of 15,500 on a board of 3?5?7?8?. His opponent was Axel Hallay, and went deep into the tank.

After a few minutes and some sighs, Hallay put in the call to try and win Grieco's stack in addition to the 25,000 chips that were already in the middle.

Nicola Grieco: 6?5?
Axel Hallay: J?10?

Grieco had the best hand with a pair of fives, but the 6? river gave Hallay a flush. Grieco sat in his chair momentarily before getting up while Hallay stacked up his chips.

Joseph Mouawad

Action was on the flop on a board of J?5?6?. Following a check, Joseph Mouawad bet 5,000, then Audrius Daugvilavicius pushed all in for 14,300. Samuel Luginsland shoved over the top from the button with the biggest stack and Mouawad called for 28,800. The three players flipped their cards.

Audrius Daugvilavicius: K?J?
Joseph Mouawad: 6?6?
Samuel Luginsland: A?J?

Luginsland had Daugvilavicius beat with his pair and higher kicker. He let out a groan as Mouawad revealed his set of sixes.

The turn came the 5? and the river was the 8?. Mouawad held to win the pot and triple up. Luginsland won the side pot but was reduced to just 12,000 chips. Daugvilavicius, meanwhile, was eliminated from the tournament.

Soufiane Sadji: A?K?
