Lache Finds the Perfect Turn

Level 10 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Antonin Teisseire raised from middle position, reciving calls from the hijack and Vlad Lache, in the big blind.

The 7?4?6? flop saw the action check to Teisseire, who bet out 6,500. Only Lache called.

Lache played in flow on the 10? turn, Teisseire bet out 16,000 and Lache check-raised to 59,000. Teisseire moved all in for not much more and Lache snap-called.

Antonin Teisseire: 7?7? All in
Vlad Lache: 9?8?

The 8? river failed to pair the board ensuring Lache's straight was still best, sending Teisseire to the rail.

Rabiei Hero-Calls With Just Jack-High

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Sami Agel raised to 2,500 from middle position, Alireza Rabiei three-bet to 7,500 from the cutoff and Paolo Boi cold called in the hijack. Agel also chose to call.

The K?8?6? flop saw the action check to Rabiei, who bet out 8,000. Boi called while Agel folded.

The K? turn checked through to the 8? on the river. Boi took the lead for 16,000 and Rabiei went deep into the tank, finally electing to make the call.

Boi defeatedly tabled J?10? but was just as surprised as the rest of the table when Rabiei rolled over J?10? for the exact same hand; one man's bluff was the other man's hero call, resulting in an unconventional chopped pot.

Thiriart Double Barrels

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Arthur Thiriart opened 2,500 under the gun and only Istvan Pilhofer called from a couple of spots to his left.

When the 10?4?2? flop hit the felt, Thiriart continued for 3,400 and Pilhofer called.

The J? fell on the turn, and Thiriart flicked three chips across the line for a bet of 15,000. Pilhofer took about two minutes before deciding to release his hand.
