O'Neill Scores Massive Double up Against Eljach

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Livello 19 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Padraig O'Neill had already opened on the button and Omar Eljach had a three-bet of 120,000 in front of him, which O'Neill called.

Eljach continued for 40,000 on the 4♠A♥8♣ flop and O'Neill called.

The 10♥ came on the turn and Eljach check-called a 100,000 bet from O'Neill.

Eljach checked a final time after the 9♦ completed the board and O'Neill announced he was all in for 332,000 total — sending Eljach deep into the tank.

Eljach burned up a few of his time extensions, but eventually decided to call. O'Neill tabled 8♦8♠ for a set of eights, which was best against Eljach's Ax2x for the large double up.

Omar Eljach	1,200,000 81,000	81,000

Livello 19 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Marco Regonaschi opened to 20,000 from middle position, and was only called by Adrien Guyon in the big blind.

Regonaschi bet 20,000 again on the 4♣K♠A♠ flop. Guyon check-called, then checked on the turn 5♣. After Regonaschi fired a second barrel of 35,000, Guyon check-raised all in for more than 1,000,000 chips.

With only 270,000 left, Regonaschi waited a few seconds, and folded.

Livello 19 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Christos Argyriadis raised to 20,000 in the hijack and Adrien Guyon called in the small blind. Mark Helou then three-bet to 100,000 in the big blind, Argyriadis shoved for 140,000, and Guyon folded. Helou snap-called.

Christos Argyriadis: A♣K♦
Mark Helou: J♦J♠

The two players were racing, but Helou took a big lead on the 4♠2♦J♥ flop with top set. The 10♣ turn gave Argyriadis some hope with a straight draw, but he missed the 3♦ river and wished his tablemates luck before heading off to collect his payout.

Peter Jaksland: K♠2♠
Konstantinos Tzinis: A♥5♦

The 7♥8♦10♠ flop was no help to Jaksland as Tzinis remained in the lead with ace-high. The board ran out 4♣8♣ and Jaksland couldn't catch up as he was sent to the rail.

Livello 19 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Daniel Erlandsson opened to 20,000 from the hijack. Gonzalo Veiga was the only caller from the big blind and it went to a flop.

Veiga checked the 3♥10♣2♥ flop before calling a bet of 20,000 from Erlandsson.

That betting pattern continued on the 5♣ turn, with Veiga check-calling Erlandsson's 45,000 bet.

An 8♣ completed the board, and yet again Veiga checked it to Erlandsson. The Swede made it 80,0000 and got a call, getting three streets of value from his K♥10♠. Veiga mucked and was down to half of the average stack.

Giocatore	Chip	Avanzamento
Daniel Erlandsson	931,000 191,000	191,000

Salih Atac was already all in and at risk for around 200,000 from middle position against Alexandru Lupuleac, who had Atac covered from the big blind.

Salih Atac: Q♠Q♣
Alexandru Lupuleac: 10♣10♦

Atac was in good shape with his ladies, and the 8♠4♦9♠A♠4♠ runout left Atac with a flush for a largely sweat-free double up.
