No Call for Mosele

Level 4 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

Massimo Mosele was in the big blind and led for 6,600 into a pot of 9,900 on the A?5?4?6? turn. Aram Sargsyan was his only opponent in the hand, and made the call.

When the 4? paired the board on the river, Mosele jammed for 15,300. Sargsyan thought about it for about 30 seconds before deciding to toss his cards into the muck.

Altman Sucks Out in Dramatic Three-Way All-In

Level 4 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante
Brian Altman
Brian Altman

The action was caught as Brian Altman, who was under the gun, faced an all-in of 10,400 from Oleksii Natoptannyi, in the cutoff, and an all-in of 49,600 from Ghadi Akari, on the button. Altman tanked for some time before calling to have both players at risk.

Oleksii Natoptannyi: A?A? All in
Ghadi Akari: K?Q? All in
Brian Altman: J?J?

Natoptannyi was in front but the 2?J?7? flop gave Altman a set. The 10? turn then put Natoptannyi and Akari in the lead for the main and side pot with a flush. However, the 7? river paired the board; Altman made a full house and sent both players to the rail.

Ferraro Catches Dib Speeding

Level 4 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

With the 8?7?6? flop already on the table and 19,000 in the middle, Alan Ferraro dropped a bet of 5,500 across the line from early position and Elie Dib called in the cutoff.

The 9? fell on the turn, and Ferraro check-called a bet of 12,000 from Dib.

When the K? completed the board on the river, Ferraro checked and quickly called off his 23,000 when Dib moved all in. Dib tabled A?4? for a busted flush draw, and Ferraro pulled in the pot with A?A?.

Rene Knapp: J?10? All in
Ryan Price: Q?9?

Knapp was out in front having flopped the nut straight. The 5? turn and 3? river were a clean runout and Knapp doubled up.

Anton Gililov: K?J?All in
Peter Turmezey: A?Q?

Hand Scores a Knockout

Level 4 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante
Fintan Hand
Fintan Hand

After a series of raises, Ramzi Bsaibes was all-in for about 22,000 against Fintan Hand and both hands were on their backs.

Ramzi Bsaibes: A?4? All in
Fintan Hand: 10?10?

Bsaibes only had one overcard to the tens of Hand and the K?7?2? flop was no help. The 5? turn gave him a straight draw but the 9? river wasn't what he needed as he stood up from the table.
