Heads up on a board of 4♣K♥6♦7♥, Yves Bianchetti bet 8,000 from the big blind and Breno Drumond called on the button.

The river came the 10♣ and Bianchetti bet 35,000, enough to put Drumond all in. Drumond used up several time banks before calling for his last 30,000, turning over K♣Q♣ for top pair. Bianchetti, though, had 4♦4♠ for a set to win the pot and send Drumond to the rail.

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Livello 6 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Nacho Barbero opened the hijack to 1,200 and then called after Marius Kudzmanas three-bet to 4,500 from the button.

On the J♦8♠2♥ flop, Kudzmanas continued for 3,000 and Barbero called.

The 3♦ came on the turn. Barbero check-called another bet from Kudzmanas, this time for 8,500.

On the K♠ river, Barbero checked to Kudzmanas who contemplated for 30 seconds before he jammed for 27,000 effective as the covering stack and Barbero snapped it off.

Nacho Barbero: 3♠3♣ All in
Marius Kudzmanas: J♠J♣

It was a cooler scenario with Kudzmanas flopping top set against the turned set of threes for Barbero, who was sent to the rebuy desk while Kudzmanas dragged a huge pot.
