Francolini Gets Paid Off After Hitting the River

Level 26 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Mauro Francolini made it 120,000 to go on the button and Guillaume Nolet called from the big blind. The flop fell {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} and Nolet check-called a bet of 80,000 from Francolini.

The turn was the {7-Spades} and both players checked to the {a-Spades} on the river. Nolet checked once more and Francolini tossed in a bet of 350,000. Nolet quickly called and Francolini tabled {a-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} for the best hand.

Steven van Zadelhoff on nutrition, WCOOP, and #momentum

Level 26 : 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

With the World Championship of Online Poker (WCOOP) 2019 kicking off next Thursday (Sep 6), who better to talk to than former $10K Main Event champion Steven van Zadelhoff?

WCOOP is arguably the most exciting time of the year for online poker, with big buy-ins, huge guarantees, and stacked fields making for a thrilling three weeks of poker.

One player in particular who is looking forward to the grind is the Netherlands’ Steven van Zadelhoff. After all, he took down the $10K Main Event in 2017 for a career-best $1.62 million, so he has some very fond memories.

He’ll be looking to do the double this year, but before that we caught up with him at EPT Barcelona, where he has just notched up another career highlight.

Dmitry Yurasov Eliminated in 15th Place (€53,950)

Level 25 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Dmitry Yurasov
Dmitry Yurasov

Chris Hunichen had chipped up through Jack Salter before he limped in the cutoff. Dmitry Yurasov three-bet all in for 550,000 from the button, with Lander Lijo flat-calling in the big blind.

Hunichen then re-raised all in and Lijo folded.

Chris Hunichen: {a-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}
Dmitry Yurasov: {q-Spades}{8-Spades}

The flop {j-Clubs}{7-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} took away Yurasov's queen outs, meaning he would need an eight or a nine to stay alive. The turn {j-Diamonds} and river {3-Spades} wasn't what he needed and he was eliminated.

Davidi Kitai Eliminated in 16th Place (€47,670)

Level 25 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Davidi Kitai

Davidi Kitai pushed out a raise to 460,000 in early position, leaving himself with just 50,000 chips behind. Uri Reichenstein shoved all in on the button and the action was back on Kitai who called after the action on the other table was finished.

Uri Reichenstein: {7-Spades}{7-Hearts}
Davidi Kitai: {a-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}

The flop of {k-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} left Reichenstein in the lead with his pair of sevens. The {k-Clubs} on the turn gave Kitai a couple of extra outs but the {7-Diamonds} on the river only improved Reichenstein to a full house.

Nagygyorgy Doesn't Shy Away from the Chipleader

Level 25 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Moraes Rivered Out of the Tournament

Level 25 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Rafael Moraes
Rafael Moraes

Jack Salter bet enough from the small blind to put Rafael Moraes all in in the big blind, and Moraes called.

Jack Salter: {j-Hearts}{10-Spades}
Rafael Moraes: {k-Spades}{q-Diamonds}

The flop came {7-Spades}{9-Clubs}{4-Spades} giving Salter extra straight outs. The turn was the {3-Diamonds} and although Moraes called for a deuce on the river, the {10-Hearts} paired Salter and sent Moraes to the rail.

The remaining 16 players are redrawing around the final two tables.
