Barer Counterfeits Hansen; Hansen Then Rivers Afriat

Livello 29 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

In a limped pot between the blinds, Sindre Hansen led out for 100,000 on a flop of K♠J♥A♣ and Ami Barer called.

The turn was the 2♥ and Hansen bet 325,000. Barer again called and the K♥ fell on the river. Both players then checked and Hansen showed A♦2♦.

"Hey," Barer cried out as he turned over A♠4♠, discovering that Hansen's two pair had been counterfeited on the river and they chopped the pot.

The next hand, Hansen raised to 225,000 on the button and Eric Afriat called in the big blind.

The flop came A♣5♦7♥ and Hansen continued for 150,000. Afriat called and the 3♥ turn was checked.

Afriat led out for 130,000 on the J♣ river and Hansen called. Afriat showed Q♠7♠ for a pair of sevens, but Hansen had J♥9♠ for a rivered pair of jacks to win the pot.

"Ugly. Why would you do that?" Afriat said.

Aleksejs Ponakovs opened to 200,000 from the button with 10♠6♠ and Lorenzo Arduini defended the big blind with Q♠J♥.

Both players missed the A♦K♥3♣ flop but Arduini had outs to Broadway, and he check-called for 115,000 before the A♥ turn checked through to the 10♣ river.

Arduini bet 175,000 with his straight and Ponakovs paid him off after using up a time bank.

Livello 29 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Sindre Hansen made a raise to 100,000 under the gun and the action folded to Peter Jorgne in the big blind, who made the call.

Jorgne checked on the 7♠A♥3♥ flop and called the subsequent 150,000 that Hansen put out.

The 4♥ turn was then checked by both players before Hansen bet 450,000 on the Q♥ river after Jorgne had checked. Jorgne quickly let his hand go and surrendered the pot to his opponent.

In a limped pot between the blinds on the J♦6♠3♠ flop, David Kaufmann check-called for 100,000 with his 8♠2♠ after Aleksejs Ponakovs bet with 10♦9♦.

The 2♣ turn checked through to the Q♠ river, giving Kaufmann a flush. He led out for 400,000 and Ponakovs folded his ten-high.

Eliot Hudon Eliminated in 11th Place (€91,550)

Livello 29 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Eric Afriat raised to 250,000 on the button before Eliot Hudon moved all in for around 2,100,000 in the big blind. Afriat folded and last year's EPT Barcelona finalist Santiago Plante let out a loud clap from the rail.

"What a player," Plante said.

"I like to share," Afriat added as his fellow Canadian took the pot.

The next hand, Barny Boatman raised to 200,000 on the button and Hudon shoved again, this time for 2,460,000. Peter Jorgne in the big blind asked for a count and called, while Boatman got out of the way.

Eliot Hudon: A♦J♦
Peter Jorgne: Q♦Q♣

Hudon was looking for an ace to stay alive, but one wouldn't help him for long as Jorgne flopped quads on Q♥2♠Q♠. "Won't be easy," Boatman joked.

The rest of the board ran out 2♦2♥ and Hudon was eliminated in 11th place. "Good game. Nothing you could do there," Boatman said to him as he got up to shake his hand.

Livello 29 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Peter Jorgne kicked off the action with a raise to 200,000 from the hijack. Gonzalo Almeida then used a time bank extension before reraising to 450,000 on the button.

Eric Afriat sat in the small blind and quickly piled 2,000,000 chips in the middle, the majority of his stack. Jorgne then went all in for around 2,500,000 and Almeida pushed in his stack of just over 2,000,000 as well.

Afriat made the call to put both of his opponents at risk and all cards were tabled.

Gonzalo Almeida: Q♥Q♦
Peter Jorgne: K♣K♦
Eric Afriat: K♠K♥

Jorgne's kings flopped a flush draw on 9♣10♣3♣ while Almeida turned a straight draw on the 8♦. However, the 5♦ river bricked out and the chop was split between Jorgne and Afriat, resulting in Almeida's elimination.

Livello 29 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Ami Barer opened to 210,000 from the button before Farid Jattin, on the button, three-bet to 900,000. Action folded back to Barer who moved all in as the bigger stack and Jattin committed the 115,000 he had left behind.

Farid Jattin: J♦9♦
Ami Barer: Q♠Q♦

Jattin was in rough shape but paired up on the 9♠6♠6♣ flop to bring in some immediate outs. The 8♣ was a brick but the 9♥ river gave Jattin exactly what he needed to stay in contention.

Almeida Spikes the Turn to Double

Livello 29 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

"This is the only level I know how many big blinds I have without using a calculator," Barny Boatman said as the players returned from break.

"It's nice to do be able to say what you want, do what you want. I was very gentle with you," Eric Afriat added as yesterday's rivals shared a laugh.

"You have to embrace the villain role," tablemate Eliot Hudon said to Afriat.

Gonzalo Almeida then moved all in for 1,040,000 in the cutoff and Eliot Hudon called in the big blind.

Gonzalo Almeida: 8♠8♦
Eliot Hudon: A♠Q♥

Hudon took the lead on the Q♦7♠2♣ flop with top pair, but Almeida spiked the 8♣ on the turn to make a set and leave Hudon drawing dead. The 7♥ river improved Almeida to a full house and he doubled up.

"That's why you play this game. For moments like that," Afriat said to Almeida.

"I was probably due to lose one," Hudon added.
