Grieco Rivers Two Pair for the Loss

Level 8 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

An all-in triangle was put in front of Nicola Grieco's stack of 15,500 on a board of 3578. His opponent was Axel Hallay, and went deep into the tank.

After a few minutes and some sighs, Hallay put in the call to try and win Grieco's stack in addition to the 25,000 chips that were already in the middle.

Nicola Grieco: 65
Axel Hallay: J10

Grieco had the best hand with a pair of fives, but the 6 river gave Hallay a flush. Grieco sat in his chair momentarily before getting up while Hallay stacked up his chips.

Action was on the flop on a board of J56. Following a check, Joseph Mouawad bet 5,000, then Audrius Daugvilavicius pushed all in for 14,300. Samuel Luginsland shoved over the top from the button with the biggest stack and Mouawad called for 28,800. The three players flipped their cards.

Audrius Daugvilavicius: KJ
Joseph Mouawad: 66
Samuel Luginsland: AJ

Luginsland had Daugvilavicius beat with his pair and higher kicker. He let out a groan as Mouawad revealed his set of sixes.

Elias Abussamra

Elias Abussamra, Soufiane Sadji, and Pieter De Necker were on a turn on 2345. Abussamra checked from the big blind, after which Sadji shoved all in for 13,900 from under the gun.

De Necker called from middle position before Abussamra came over the top to risk his own stack of 30,600. De Necker sighed as he put in the call and all three players showed their cards.

Soufiane Sadji: AK
