Bekheira Busts to Beziau's Rockets

Dan O'Hair

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Damien Beziau opened to 65,000 from middle position and was called by Karl Urbin in the cutoff. Mohammed Bekheira then shoved for 230,000 from the big blind and Beziau called. Urbin got out of the way and a showdown was held.

Mohammed Bekheira: J♠8♠
Damien Beziau: A♠A♦

The 6♦9♣7♠ flop gave Bekheira a sweat with his open-ended straight draw, but the K♦ turn and 4♦ river bricked out — eliminating him from contention.

Matt Hansen

Level 24 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Action was heads up and Martynas Brazdzionis was seen gathering his things to leave the tournament area. The cards were still turned up and Lucas Silva Rocha was stacking chips.

Martynas Brazdzionis: A♦7♦
Lucas Silva Rocha: A♠J♠

The board had run out 2♦A♣7♣8♥J♥ to give Bazdzionis two pair on the flop, but a jack on the river gave Silva Rocha the pot with aces and jacks.

Silva Rocha is on a red-hot run on Day 2 and he is sitting well above two million chips.

Georgi Sandev: 8♠8♥

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Andrea Roner raised to 50,000 on the button and was three-bet to 140,000 by Athanasios Fergiatakis in the small blind. It was folded back to Roner, who announced he was all in. Fergiatakis quickly called all in for his last 500,000 and hands were revealed.

Athanasios Fergiatakis: K♦K♣
Andrea Roner: A♣Q♣

The 4♣6♥Q♠ flop kept Fergiatakis in the lead, but the Q♥ turn provided Roner with trips queens and a commanding lead.

The A♠ improved Roner to an unnecessary full house and Fergiatakis was sent to the rail.

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Arthur Thiriart open-jammed a stack of 95,000 from under the gun and Andreia-Elena Coman called in the small blind, while the big blind also called.

Coman led out for 100,000 on the flop of 5♥A♣5♣ and the big blind folded before the cards were flipped.

Arthur Thiriart: A♥3♣
Andreia-Elena Coman: A♦Q♠

Thiriart was dominated and there would be no chop as the board finished out 9♠Q♥ to mark his elimination.

Level 23 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Ferdinando Dalessio was seen winning a big pot that had Alessandro Giordano hitting the rail and Lucas Scafini losing most of his stack.

The board of A♠4♥Q♥Q♦10♣ had run out and Dalessio's A♣K♠ was good against the J♥Jx of Scafini, while Giordano's hand had already been mucked. Dalessio doubled his stack of 3,000,000 and then some as Scafini was left with around 600,000.

The board ran out 3♥9♥10♣6♦3♠, leaving Pearn drawing dead by the turn while Talbot collected a decent pot, putting him over two million chips.

Jack Corrigan: K♣Q♠
Diogo Ferreira: K♠K♦

Corrigan found himself in terrible shape against Ferreira's cowboys and the 6♦2♥5♥7♥3♠ runout offered no help to Corrigan who was eliminated late in the evening.
