Dressler Freerolls to Victory

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

Christian Dressler was faced with a raise to 15,600 from Mathieu Quantin with 7,000 already in the middle. Eventually, he made the call.

The dealer fanned a flop of 4♠3♣2♣, and Dressler check-raised to 35,000 after Quantin fired a bet of 5,000. After only a few moments, Quantin announced all-in. Dressler called off his 42,600 total, and both hands were tabled.

Christian Dressler: A♣K♣
Mathieu Quantin: A♠K♥

Dressler was in a freeroll situation with his flush draw, and there was no waiting as the J♣ rolled off on the river. The J♥ completed the board as Quantin paid off the bet.

Giocatore	Chip	Avanzamento
Christian Dressler	118,200

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

After a series of raises, Derek Mcclenaghan was all-in for roughly 26,500, and it was Roman Hrabec looking for the knockout.

Derek Mcclenaghan: 10♣10♦
Roman Hrabec: A♦A♠

The 10♥9♥9♣ flop was a great one for Mcclenaghan as he flopped a full house, and the 5♠ turn changed nothing but he let out a gasp and tapped the table as the A♣ landed on the river, giving Hrabec aces full.

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

Parker Talbot raised to 2,400 from late position and Hael Al Labani three-bet to 6,500 from the button. Action folded back around to Talbot, who pushed a stack of blues into the middle to put his opponent all in. Labani quickly folded his hand.

"Why are you trying to three-bet bluff me?" asked Talbot. "I'm just sitting here drinking my wine, having a nice time."

"I didn't bluff," replied Labani. "I had good but not very good. Next time, I'll just shove."

Labani then put his money where his mouth was the very next hand. He made a huge shove all in from late position for 34,000. Elio Berreby moved all in from the button with slightly more and the two players turned their cards.

Hael Al Labani: A♠9♥
Elio Berreby: A♦Q♣

The board ran out 2♦6♥8♣10♣6♣. Berreby held with the pair of sixes on board and his ace-queen high to win the pot. Al Labani was eliminated from the tournament.

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

Dylan Da Silva Araujo raised to 2,500 from early position, receiving three calls from the players in middle position, the button and the big blind.

The action checked to Araujo, who bet out for 3,200 on the J♥Q♠8♦ flop. Only Jan-Mikael Kesanen on the button called.

The 9♠ turn saw Araujo bet again, this time for 5,500. Kesanen thought for some time before moving all in for approximately 29,000, sending Araujo into the tank.

Araujo thought for some time before choosing to muck. Kesanen claimed this pot without a showdown while Araujo announced to the table he had, in fact, folded a set.
