Livello 28 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Action has been quite slow at Table 2, which players themselves have noticed.

One of the bigger pots was played between Antonio Galiana, who opened the action preflop from the cutoff, and Romain Lewis, who defended the big blind.

The flop was K♥Q♦6♥. Lewis checked in flow and Galiana made a small bet of 130,000. Lewis called.

The turn came the 5♦. Lewis checked again and after some thinking, Galiana opted for a larger turn bet, 550,000. Lewis thought about it and then raised to 1,475,000. Lewis needed some time to think and then released.

Reichard Takes from Belcher

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Livello 28 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Connor Belcher raised 300,000 under the gun, and Joshua Reichard called.

The rest of the table folded to bring the flop, where the dealer fanned K♣K♥8♥. Belcher checked, and then Reichard bet 275,000, which Belcher called.

The turn saw 10♣ on the board. Belcher checked, resulting in Reichard betting a healthy 675,000. Belcher briefly paused, and then called.

The river, which produced 4♦, brought fireworks after Belcher checked yet again. Reichard sized up his bet to 2,360,000, which put Belcher in the tank.

After almost a minute elapsed, Belcher called only to see the bad news when Reichard tabled K♦Q♦ for trip kings.

Belcher mucked his hand and lost a good chunk of his chip stack.

Livello 28 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Antonio Galiana raised in early position, and then faced Eoghan O’Dea, who pushed all in on the button.

Galiana called to put O’Dea, one of the short stacks remaining in the field, at risk.

Eoghan O’Dea: K♦Q♠ All in
Antonio Galiana: 9♠9♦

The dealer fanned Q♥J♦A♥ on the board, giving O’Dea a bigger two pair. The J♥ on the turn and A♣ on the river provided O’Dea a double up early in Level 28.

Antonio Galiana	7,905,000 -1,085,000	-1,085,000
