Reard Takes From Tal

Level 32 : 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante

Lior Tal raised to 500,000 from the button and Alexandre Reard defended his big blind as he slid a stack of 25,000 chips forward to call.

The flop fell {k-Spades}{j-Spades}{9-Clubs} and Reard check-called a bet of 300,000 from Tal.

The turn was the {7-Clubs} and both players checked this time to see the {5-Hearts} complete the board on the river. Reard opted to put out a big bet of 1,500,000 and Tal made a quick call by flicking in a 5,000 chip.

Reard showed {9-Spades}{5-Spades} for rivered two pair and that was good against the {q-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} of Tal.

Two for Tal

Level 31 : 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Lior Tal opened for 375,000 in middle position and was called by both blinds. Alexandre Reard checked the {7-Hearts}{5-Spades}{4-Diamonds} flop and Luigi D'Alterio bet 525,000. Tal called and Reard folded. Both the {7-Spades} and {k-Hearts} were checked through, and D'Alterio showed {q-Hearts}{j-Hearts} for an airball. Tal took the pot with {a-Spades}{6-Spades}.

The next hand, Reard opened on the button and Tal defended the big blind. They both checked the flop to a board of {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{9-Clubs}. Tal check-called 275,000. On the {3-Hearts} river, Tal checked and quickly called 600,000.

Reard showed {k-}{10-} but was no good against {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}.

Jose Quintas Eliminated in 5th Place (€84,740)

Level 31 : 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
Jose Quintas
Jose Quintas

Alexandre Reard raised under the gun to 350,000 and it folded to small blind Jose Quintas who pushed all in for 1,625,000. The big blind folded and Reard called after he asked for a count of Quintas's stack.

Reard tabled {a-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} and he needed to win a flip against the {2-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} of Quintas to eliminate him.

The {a-Spades} in the window was already good for Reard and the {7-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} that followed left Quintas with an inferior hand. The Portuguese collected €84,740 for finishing in fifth and the four remaining players are guaranteed a six-figure score.

Piotr Wiecek Eliminated in 7th Place (€45,350)

Level 31 : 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
Piotr Wiecek
Piotr Wiecek

Lior Tal raised from middle position to 375,000 and it folded to Piotr Wiecek on the button. He pushed all in for 1,550,000 and the others folded.

Tal asked the dealer if he could put 375,000 from both in the pot and Tal was left with 1,175,000 to call. He counted it out and eventually put it in the middle but he saw some bad news as he showed {a-Diamonds}{j-Spades} but Wiecek had {a-Clubs}{q-Hearts}.

The flop, however, was {j-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{5-Clubs} and Tal clapped in his hands and cheered. Tal didn't give the lead back to Wiecek when the dealer dealt the {2-Spades} turn and {4-Diamonds} river.

Wiecek goes home with €45,350 in his pockets for his 7th-place finish.

Quintas Doubles

Level 31 : 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante

Jose Quintas raised to 1,200,000 under the gun and Piotr Wiecek called. Quintas only had 465,000 behind and the other guys folded for them to continue heads-up to the flop.

The flop fell {q-Hearts}{9-Spades}{5-Hearts} and Quintas quickly put his last chips in the middle and Wiecek called. Quintas hit the flop with {a-Clubs}{q-Spades} and he was ahead against {10-Hearts}{10-Clubs}.

The {j-Spades} turn gave Wiecek a bunch more outs but he wasn't able to connect on the {9-Hearts} river.
