Delaplace Loses It All in Four-Bet Pot

Calum Grant

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Sven Stok opened to 800 from early position and was called by Carlos Garcia from the small blind. Nicolas Delaplace three-bet to 2,600 from the big blind. Stok responded by making it 8,500. Garcia folded ahead of Delaplace calling.

Delaplace led into the aggressor on the Q♦J♣8♠ flop, wagering 6,500. Stok thought briefly before moving all in for around 40,000. Delaplace went into the tank but committed the 25,000 more he had behind.

Nicolas Delaplace: A♣Q♥ All in
Sven Stok: A♠A♦

Stok had aces and was ahead of Delaplace's top pair. The J♦ turn and 9♥ river confirmed the latter's exit and Stok took in the sizable pot.

Calum Grant

Level 3 : Blinds 100/300, 300 ante

"Floorman, time on Table 34," exclaimed the dealer as Yanfeng Wang was deep in the tank.

With around 21,000 in the pot on the 10♣7♦Q♣9♣ board, Quentin Weber had moved all in for 19,800 from the big blind, which had sent Wang into the blender.

Wang, who had been thinking for several minutes, had been given an extra 30 seconds to make his decision, and as around seven seconds remained, he called as the slightly bigger stack.

Quentin Weber: 9♥9♦ All in
Yanfeng Wang: K♣K♦

Weber had leapfrogged the kings by improving to a set on the turn. Wang, while behind, still had plenty of outs with his flush and straight draws along with the two kings still in the deck.

The 3♠ however kept Weber in front and he left Wang with just a few thousand.

Wang would only survive for a few more hands before being eliminated.
