Sejer Sends Nurmohamed to the Rail

Level 6 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Martin Sejer raised under the gun to 1,300. The hijack called, as did the cutoff. Franklin Nurmohamed moved all in from the small blind for 7,900. Sejer responded with a four-bet to 14,300 and all remaining players folded.

Franklin Nurmohamed: AQ
Martin Sejer: K10

At the sight of both tabled hands, Sejer announced "Royal Flush!"

The board ran out 8K3J3. A flopped king saw Sejer pull out in front and Nurmohamed was sent to the rail.

Sanna Coolers Vakaliuk

Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

Two players remained in the hand as the full board read 310QAA.

Michele Sanna in the hijack checked the action to Andrii Vakaliuk on the button. Andrii bet out for 8,600, leaving himself approximately 1,000 chips behind. Sanna raised enough to put Vakaliuk at risk, to which he made a quick call.

Andrii Vakaliuk: 33
Michele Sanna: A10

Vakaliuk's flopped set had become a full house by the river. However, he was sent to the rail by the better full house of Sanna.

Festal Claims an Early Knockout

Level 1 : Blinds 100/100, 100 ante
Yann Festal
Yann Festal

With the board reading J73 and about 2,100 in the pot, Lucas Orsatelli bet 3,300 from early position and received calls from Yann Festal in the hijack and Juan Reyes Santana in the button.

On the 10 turn Orsatelli fired a second barrel for 8,500 and Festal responded by moving all in, sending Santana into the tank.

After about two minutes Santana made the call to put himself at risk and Orsatelli opted to fold.

Juan Reyes Santana: A8
Yann Festal: 33

Festal was well ahead with a set of threes but Santana still had outs in the form of the nut flush draw. The 6 river was a blank and Santana was eliminated early while Festal scooped in a sizable pot.
