Livello 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Livello 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Gary Horn raised to 1,000 in the hijack and was called by Colby Covington in the cutoff and Daemon Richardson in the big blind. The flop came 10♣6♣2♠ and Horn continued with a bet of 2,500 which both Covington and Richardson called.

The K♣ landed on the turn which slowed the action as all three players checked to the 7♠ on the river. Richardson led out with a bet of 10,200 which prompted Horn and Covington to ditch their cards to the muck.

Eolis Chips Back Up

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Livello 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Four players had created a pot of 7,000 going to the flop of 8♣J♦6♦. Gerard Reinhart, John Hennigan, Asher Harel, and Wendeen Eolis all checked the flop before Eolis was the one to fire a 4,000 bet on the A♥ turn once it again checked to her on the button.

Gerard Reinhart was the only one to make the call from under the gun, while Hennigan and Harel folded. The river was the 8♥ and Eolis fired another 10,000 into the pot after one more check from Reinhart. This caused the latter to take some thinking time, eventually resulting in a fold.

Eolis chipped back up but is still under starting stack in the third level of Day 1a

Livello 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Erik Friberg raised to 1,100 from under the gun and was called by Preben Stokkan and Jake Schindler in position. Maximiliano Castagnini reraised to 5,000 on the button which Friberg and Schindler both called.

The flop fell K♥8♠8♣ and the action checked to Castagnini who announced a bet of 4,300. Friberg called and Schindler stepped aside. The turn was the 5♠ and both players checked to the 10♥ on the river.

Friberg led out with a bet of 8,000 on the river and Castagnini mulled it over before rapidly tossing his cards into the muck. Friberg collected the pot and is now sitting on a stack of over 200,000.

Straight Flush For Rickard

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Livello 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

It's a lucky day for Will Rickard so far, as he already hit a royal flush earlier.

This time, he was involved in a hand where two players limped in middle position, and Michael Petrecca raised to 2,200 on the button.

Rickard called in the small blind, and both players who limped folded, leaving Petrecca and Rickard alone on 10♠J♥5♠. Rickard bet 2,000, and Petrecca called.

On the turn 4♠, it was Petrecca's turn to bet 1,500 after Rickard checked. But he didn't give up and called to see the 2♠ on the river.

This time, Rickard didn't bother with the sizing of his bet and moved all in for more than 80,000 chips. Covered, Petrecca folded. It was a very good fold, as Rickard showed A♠3♠ for a straight flush.

On the very next hand, Rickard hit a set with pocket kings and increased his stack to 120,000.

Giocatore	Chip	Avanzamento
Will Rickard	120,000 39,000	39,000
Michael Petrecca	25,000 -22,500	-22,500

Livello 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Angelina Rich opened 1,000 in the hijack and Alfie Adam defended his big blind.

The dealer fanned a flop of Q♠8♠6♣ and Adam check-called a bet of 900.

The 7♦ fell on the turn and Adam checked to Rich who fired again, this time for 4,000. Adam didn't go anywhere as he tossed in a call.

The dealer dropped the K♣ on the river and Adam checked for a final time before Rich announced a bet of 9,000. Adam pushed his cards forward as he said, "I almost got there."
