Quads for Faskowicz

Livello 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Svetlana Aubakirova opened to 40,000 from middle position, and received calls from Ariel Faskowicz and Day 1 chip leader Edgar Ishida in the blinds.

On the 9♠8♥8♣ flop, action was checked to Aubakirova, who fired out a bet of 35,000. Both of his opponents called.

The 2♦ turn was checked through by all players.

On the 5♠ river, Faskowicz led out with a bet of 115,000, leading to swift folds from both of his opponents. Faskowicz let out a yelp of disappointment as his opponents' cards hit the muck, flipping 8♠8♦ for quad eights.

Livello 22 : Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Theodore Cochin, sitting on the button, decided to go all in with around 250,000. Davide Muccini, in the small blind, took his time but ultimately called with a slightly larger stack.

Theodore Cochin: A♥10♦ All in
Davide Muccini: K♣Q♠

The board looked promising for Cochin, revealing 5♣5♠10♠ and giving him two pair. However, the 2♠ turn and 8♠ river completed a flush for Muccini, eliminating Cochin from the tournament.

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Livello 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

The action was caught on the tail end of a hand between Alessandro Orsi in the small blind and Ruben Vicente in the cutoff.

The completed board of 4♠2♦A♦7♦4♥ was on the table along with a pot of 200,000, and Orsi had put Vicente all-in for his final 250,000.

Vicente spent some time in the tank before making the call for his tournament life. He tabled A♠7♣ for two pair, but was beaten by the 7♥4♣ of Orsi, who had rivered a full house.

Orsi was awarded the big pot while Vicente was forced to head to the payout desk to collect his cash.

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Livello 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Alexandra Loveless was down to just 32,000 chips when she was moved to the table, taking a fortunate seat in the cutoff. Despite going an entire orbit without a hand worth going all in on, she eventually found herself facing the big blind with just 8,000 chips remaining.

Atilla Saracoglu, sitting under the gun, shoved all but 1,000 of his chips into the middle. With no other takers, Loveless called blind, leading to a showdown.

Alexandra Loveless: 10♥4♥ All in
Atilla Saracoglu: A♣K♦

Loveless was briefly excited to see a ten on the flop, but quickly realized Saracoglu had flopped a straight with 10♣J♣Q♥. The 6♦ turn and A♦ river completed the board, and Loveless was sent to the rail.

Yannick Koch: 7♣7♦ All in
Pierre Mounic: J♣J♦

Mounic had his opponent dominated with an overpair, and the A♠K♠5♦8♦5♣ runout did not provide an unlikely escape for Koch.

Livello 21 : Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

Just a few hands earlier, Rusen Mat had open-folded 7x7x after facing an all-in from Alberto Sepranzoni.

This time, he found himself up against Hassan Sleiman, who shoved all in with 7♠7♥ from early position. Josep Ruiz called, but Mat had different plans and moved all in as well. Ruiz folded, leaving Sleiman and Mat to face off in a showdown.

Hassan Sleiman: 7♠7♥ All in
Rusen Mat: A♦K♠

The board ran out K♣8♦Q♦6♥A♠, giving Mat a clean win, allowing him to add a small portion to his stack while Sleiman was sent to the rail.
