Petitti Scores Double Knockout, Then Doubles

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Action was picked up with the cards on their backs. Ren Lin and Rayane Benounnane were all in and at risk versus the covering stack of Nicholas Petitti.

Ren Lin: K?9?All in
Rayane Benounnane: A?K?All in
Nicholas Petitti: Q?Q?

Petitti held across the J?2?6?J?7? board to send Lin and Benounnane to the rail.

The very next hand Petitti was all in, this time at risk, against the covering stack of Daniel Guerras.

Nicholas Petitti: K?K? All in
Daniel Guerras: A?Q?

Aces Into Kings for Terziani and Guevara

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

After a preflop raising war, Javier Guevara, in the small blind, found himself all in and at risk for his effective stack of approximately 53,500 against Stefano Terziani, in early position.

Javier Guevara: A?A? All in
Stefano Terziani: K?K?

This classic cooler fell in favor of Guevara until the 10?10?K? flop reversed their fates. The 9? turn and 8? river saw Guevara's aces cracked, sending him to the rail.

Astedt Puts Kudzmanas to a Tough Decision

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Niklas Astedt
Niklas Astedt

Marius Kudzmanas opened 3,000 in the hijack and both Niklas Astedt and Anton Bergstrom came along from the blinds.

The action checked to the Q?9?5?3? turn, where Astedt led for 10,000. Bergstrom wasted no time folding but Kudzmanas stuck around with call.

The Q? completed the board on the river, and Astedt fired again, this time for 20,000. Kudzmanas went deep into the tank, taking about two minutes before deciding to let it go.

Ivarsson WIns Big Three-Way Pot

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Alexander Ivarsson
Alexander Ivarsson

Aaron Olechnowicz called the minimum 1,500 in the hijack. Alexander Ivarsson raised to 5,500 from the cutoff. Chen Lin then reraised to 14,000 from the button. The blinds folded and Olechnowicz called.

Ivarsson five-bet to 35,500. After a minute or so, the clock was called on Lin. As the floor staff approached, he put in the call. Olechnowicz also called.

The flop of 8?A?J? was checked by Olechnowicz before Ivarsson bet 12,000. Lin moved all in for around 28,000. Olechnowicz moved all in and was called by Ivarsson who covered both players.

Chen Lin: K?9?All in
Aaron Olechnowicz: 8?6? All in
Alexander Ivarsson: A?8?

Ivarsson's aces-up held across the 5? turn and he made a full house on the A? river. A sense of confusion and bewilderment fell upon the table as the two busted players departed.

Lee Triples with a Set

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Three players saw the 10?9?4? flop, and Hon Cheong Lee was seen with his 21,000 across the line with a pot of 21,000 already brewed. Both Aram Sargsyan and Simon Brandstrom made the call.

When the 7? fell on the turn, Sargsyan check-folded to an all-in jam of 51,000 by Brandstrom.

Hon Cheong Lee: 4?4? All in
Simon Brandstrom: A?10?

Lee flopped a set of fours and had Brandstrom drawing dead as the dealer rolled the A? river, sending him the triple-up.

Bernat Capdevila Montes: 10?10?

Chhabria Holds on Action Flop to Secure a Double Up

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
Manuel Fritz
Manuel Fritz

Manuel Fritz opened from the hijack to 3,000. Shravan Chhabria was the only caller from the cutoff.

The Q?2?10? flop brought a check from Fritz, prompting Chhabria to bet 3,500. Fritz then put in the check-raise to 18,000. Chhabria thought for a moment before four-betting all in for 63,000. Fritz made the call as the covering stack.

Shravan Chhabria: 10?10?All in
Manuel Fritz: J?9?

Both players had flopped a huge piece of the board, top set for Chhabria and an open ended straight draw and a flush draw for Fritz. The 5? turn provided no help for Fritz and Chhabria made a full house on the 5? river.
