Lampropulos Takes From Loeliger

Level 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Maria Lampropulos
Maria Lampropulos

Maria Lampropulos opened to 16,000 from the cutoff and Paulina Loeliger three-bet to 41,000 on the button. Action folded back to Lampropulos who called.

The dealer spread the {j-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{2-Spades} flop and Lampropulos check-called for 35,000. The duo ended up checking down the {5-Clubs} turn and {3-Spades} river.

Lampropulos flipped over {a-Spades}{10-Clubs}, and Loeliger looked at the cards and the board for some time before eventually sending her hand into the muck to concede the pot.

Peters Dodges Everything to Double

Level 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Emmanuel Lopez raised to 18,000 from early position before David Peters shoved for his last 63,000. The rest of the table folded and Lopez confirmed the amount before throwing in the chips to call.

David Peters: {5-Spades}{5-Clubs}
Emmanuel Lopez: {9-Diamonds}{8-Spades}

The {a-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{a-Clubs} flop gave Lopez some counterfeit outs to go with his two overcards, while the {6-Diamonds} on the turn also gave him a straight draw. The river, though, fell a harmless {a-Diamonds} and Peters made a full house to double up.

Pihela Gets Two Streets of Value

Level 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Igor Pihela opened the action from the hijack to 17,000 and only Hamed Sedini made the call on the button.

Both players checked on a flop of {7-Hearts}{6-Spades}{2-Diamonds}. The {j-Diamonds} hit the turn and Pihela led out for 17,000, which Sedini came along.

The {5-Hearts} completed the board and Pihela elected on a bet of 19,000. Sedini snap-called and was shown the bad news as Pihela rolled over {j-Hearts}{9-Hearts} for turned top pair and the best hand when Sedini quickly mucked.

Shimizu Dominated But Survives

Level 18 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Takao Shimizu moved all in for 116,000 from the hijack, cutoff Alexandre Landron reshoved, and the rest of the table got out of the way.

Takao Shimizu: {a-Clubs}{3-Spades}
Alexandre Landron: {a-Diamonds}{q-Spades}

Shimizu was dominated and needed help to survive, but didn't get any on the {8-Spades}{6-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} flop. The turn, though, provided the {3-Diamonds} and the {6-Spades} on the river was safe for him to double up.

Jack Sinclair
Jack Sinclair

Jack Sinclair raised to 16,000 from the cutoff as action folded to Fabiano Kovalski in the small blind. He shoved all in and Sinclair quickly moved his last 131,000, as well as his tiny pig card protector, into the middle.

Jack Sinclair: {a-Spades}{10-Spades}
Fabiano Kovalski: {8-Spades}{8-Hearts}

Sinclair got no help on the {3-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{6-Clubs} board, but the {10-Diamonds} fell on the river to give him two pair, tens and deuces, and a double up.

Pro Flops Trips to Eliminate Velasevic

Level 18 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Danilo Velasevic opened from middle position and Gonzalo Pro defended in the big blind. Pro checked on the flop of {7-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{7-Diamonds} and Velasevic continued with a bet. Pro check-raised all in and Velasevic called off as the effective stack.

Danilo Velasevic: {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}
Gonzalo Pro: {7-Hearts}{5-Spades}

Velasevic was in trouble as his opponent had flopped trips and the runout of {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades} improved Pro to a boat as he eliminated the Serbian.
