Maerki Runs Into Higher Pair

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

With around 30,000 already in the middle, Marc Bougaret moved all in from the small blind for 20,400 on a board of 4245. Luca Maerki gave it some thought before putting the rest of his chips in the middle.

Maerki had 99 and Bougaret had KK for the superior hand, two pair, kings and the fours on board.

The river was a harmless 10 and Bougaret held to win the pot, sending Maerki out moments before the break.

Custodio Cracks Aces on River

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Daniel De Sousa Custodio raised to 1,000 from the button, the small blind called, then Kestutis Jungevicius three-bet to 3,600 from the big blind. Custodio clicked it back, the small blind folded and Jungevicius five-bet to 11,800, leaving himself less than 2,000 behind. Custodio called.

The flop came 62Q and Jungevicius put his last few chips in the middle. Custodio was never folding. Players turned their cards for the all in.

Kestutis Jungevicius: AA All in
Daniel De Sousa Custodio: 1010

The turn came a blank, the 3. The river changed it all, though, the 10 giving Custodio a set of tens to crack Jungevicius' aces. Custodio won the pot and Jungevicius was sent to the rail.

Elsewhere, Dario Talio got his chips in the middle on the turn against Attila Ivacson. Talio had a pair of tens and Ivacson won the pot with pocket kings to send Talio to the exit.

Bogdanov Spikes a Straight Flush in Three-Way All In

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Alessandro Traversi bet 6,000 from early position on a flop of J107 and Maksym Filipovskyi raised to 12,000 in the hijack. Yulian Bogdanov then moved all in for 39,100 in the cutoff, Traversi tossed in his last few chips, while Filipovskyi also called having both players covered and at risk.

Alessandro Traversi: AK All in
Yulian Bogdanov: Q9 All in
Maksym Filipovskyi: JJ

Filipovskyi turned over a set of jacks, but Bogdanov had flopped a flush to take the lead. The turn, though, was the 10 as Filipovskyi improved to a full house and was poised for a double knockout until the K fell on the river to give Bogdanov a straight flush.

Traversi was sent to the rail, while Bogdanov earned the massive double up off Filipovskyi.

Brewer Wasting Little Time Accumulating Chips

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Chris Brewer recently joined the field and went three-handed to the turn on a board of 44JA. He then bet 2,000 from early position and Alessandro Traversi called in the big blind, while Yulian Bogdanov folded in the hijack.

The river was the A and Brewer bet 45,000, enough to put Traversi all in. Traversi only had around 8,000 left as he took a minute before folding.

Zamani Raises Santerne on the River

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Martin Zamani three-bet to 3,200 in the cutoff and Thomas Santerne called in the hijack.

Both players checked the 774 flop. Zamani then bet 2,000 on the J turn and Santerne called.

The river was the 7 and Santerne led out for 3,500. Zamani came back with a raise to 13,500.

"You're trapped," Zamani said to Santerne as the two opponents shared a laugh. Santerne eventually called and Zamani turned over J10 for a full house to win the pot.

"I hate you. I would've had quads. Seven-eight of spades," tablemate Adrian Mack added.

"You need to put the money in," Zamani replied.
