Griff Doubles Through Bold

Livello 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Alex Keating opened to 210,000 from the hijack and was three-bet to 625,000 by Joseph Bold in the cutoff. Jordan Griff then four-bet to approximately 1,700,000 from the small blind, leaving himself just 200,000 behind.

Keating quickly got out of the way and Bold went all in. Griff called off his remaining chips and a showdown was held.

Jordan Griff: A♣Q♥ All in
Joseph Bold: Q♣Q♠

Griff would need some help, and it came immediately on the A♦10♠2♥ flop — pairing Griff's ace and leaving Bold drawing slim.

The 3♦8♦ turn and river changed nothing and Griff doubled up through Bold.

Livello 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Bradley Mercer raised to 175,000 from under the gun, but Kristen Foxen in the cutoff three-bet to 500,000. The blinds folded and Mercer shoved for 2,655,000. Foxen asked for the count and called.

Bradley Mercer: K♦K♣ All in
Kristen Foxen: A♦K♥

Mercer was on the edge of elimination after Foxen hit top pair on 10♠A♣6♦. But he saw the K♠ turn landing on the felt to save him, and he doubled up after the 2♠ river.

The Trash Talking Continues Between the Brits

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Livello 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Tomas Szwarcberg three-bet to 450,000 preflop and was called by Rodrigo Garrido Portaleoni, who then check-folded the Q♣8♣6♦ flop to a bet.

Shortly after, Iaron Lightbourne raised to 225,000 and fellow Brit Abdullah Al-Shanti three-bet to 625,000 in the small blind. Lightbourne clicked it back to 1,175,000 and then called the clock on his opponent after a mere 45 seconds. "Best I can do for you mate," Lightbourne grinned.

Al-Shanti was given more time before the extra 30 seconds kicked in and he then mucked, exposing an ace first.

"Show me both and I will show mine," Lightbourne said. Al-Shanti exposed the A♥7♠ and was shown the K♣K♦ by Lightbourne.

They went back and forth with more banter and Lightbourne was all smiles after further boosting his stack.

Jason James and Stephen Song were enjoying the show from up close and could barely stop laughing.

Gibson Hollywoods with Quads

Livello 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Toby Gibson played a big pot against Manuel Machado on a board of 10♣10♠7♣10♥3♣.

With several hundred thousand already in the middle, Machado faced a bet of 1,000,000 from Gibson and called, only to muck as Gibson announced quads and showed 10♦J♦.

"Let me get a picture," Gibson said before raking in the pot.

Someone at the table noted that Gibson had asked about a pay jump earlier in the hand despite having the nuts.

"I had to!" the Indiana factory worker said. "That's part of the game."

Straight on the Board

Livello 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Boris Angelov in middle position raised to 160,000 and he was called by David Collins in the small blind. However Alexander Tkatschew in the big blind decided to three-bet all in for 1,985,000. Angelov four-bet all in and Collins folded K♣J♦.

Alexander Tkatschew: K♥Q♥ All in
Boris Angelov: A♣K♠

Tkatschew needed a queen or hearts to survive, but a straight on the 6♠4♠7♥5♣3♥ board worked as well and both players split the pot.

Livello 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Troy Quenneville opened from early position to 160,000 and Yake Wu called on the button.

On the 10♣3♠K♥ flop, Wu check-called a bet of 185,000 from Quenneville.

The 5♥ came on the turn and again Wu check-called after Quenneville bet 725,000.

When the 4♠ completed the runout, Wu checked for a third time then Quenneville announced a big bet of 1,900,000. Wu took this time but eventually settled on a call.

Quenneville seemed reluctant to show but eventually flipped Q♥8♥ for a missed flush draw, and Wu took the pot with 3♦3♣ for a set.

Livello 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Antonio Payne moved all in for 1,200,000 in middle position and Jason Sagle put him at risk from early position.

Antonio Payne: A♠Q♠ All in
Jason Sagle: J♦J♥

Payne was racing for his tournament life as the flop came 5♣J♠10♦, giving him a straight draw, but giving Sagle top set. The 5♥ turn was no help, while Sagle improved to a full house on the 10♠ river to send Payne to the rail.

Nawa Blows Tehan Off the Second Nuts

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Livello 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Joe Tehan raised to 160,000 in middle position and picked up three callers, including Cameron Mixson on the button and Mauro Juarez and Hiroki Nawa in the blinds.

All four players checked the 2♥5♦7♠ flop and Nawa bet 350,000 on the 10♥ turn. Only Tehan called.

The river was the J♥ and Nawa bet 380,000. Tehan then raised to 1,200,000 and Nawa quickly announced he was all in.

The dealer began to count out Nawa's stack as Tehan held up his cards. "It doesn't matter," Tehan said as he tossed K♥9♥ into the muck. Nawa, sitting with a giant pink pig plush figure in front of him, returned his cards face down as he took the pot.
