Piriz Triples up His Short Stack

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Ralph Keyrouz raised to 600 from the button, Ramella Piriz three-bet jammed for 2,300 from the small blind and Timur Margolin cold called in the big blind. Keyrouz also called.

With action on the side, three players headed to the K?2?9? flop. Both players checked through to the K? on the turn. Margolin took a stab for 1,800 and Keyrouz folded.

Ramella Piriz: A?2? All in
Timur Margolin: A?5?

Margolin was behind but politely asked for a chop. The 8? did not oblige and Piriz's short stack tripled up.

The action was caught with around 5,000 in the middle with two players looking at a board of 2?6?Q?4?.

Gerard Rubiralta, who was under the gun, was all-in and at risk for his effective stack of 25,000 against Mirela Anticevic, in the cutoff.

Gerard Rubiralta: 6?6? All in
Mirela Anticevic: K?Q?

The A? couldn't save Anticevic and Rubiralta doubled up with his flopped set.

Bensaid Busts Early

Level 1 : Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Gerben Bos opened from the cutoff to 500. Andrea Bensaid called in the small blind and Alexander Norden defended the big blind.

On the K?10?6? flop, Bensaid bet 400. Norden folded before Bos put in the raise to 1,600. Bensaid made the call.

Bensaid tanked before betting 7,500 on the 3? turn. Bos took a moment before moving all in for around 30,000. Bensaid made the call and was covered slightly.

Andrea Bensaid: K?10?All in
Gerben Bos: Q?J?

Bos needed to improve to a straight in order to beat Bensaid. He found the A? on the river to make the nut straight and send Bensaid to the rail.
