Blouet Flushed Away by Cazacu

Adrian Cazacu
Adrian Cazacu

Raphael Blouet raised to 3,000 from early position and Adrian Cazacu three-bet the button to 8,500. Once the blinds folded, Blouet called.

They went to a flop of A74 where Blouet checked, and Cazacu fired 5,500. Blouet then put in a check-raise to 15,000, which Cazacu called.

An 8 dropped on the turn and Blouet continued to tell the story that he had a strong hand and fired 16,000. Cazacu didn't think for too long before he called.

When the 5 fell on the river, Blouet went into the tank before he decided to shove for around 30,000. Cazacu snap-called.

Blouet then showed KQ for a flush, but Cazacu had a higher flush with AA, which meant Blouet hit the rail.

Retiere's Big Bet Forces Qartomy to Fold

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

After a flurry of raises preflop, the pot had swelled to around 65,000 when the flop came down 538. Romain Retiere was first to act and fired a bet of 15,000, which Ray Qartomy called without hesitation.

Both players checked when the Q hit the turn.

As the river brought the 8, Retiere seized the initiative again, launching a hefty bet of 100,000—essentially putting Qartomy's tournament life on the line. Qartomy took his time to think it over but ultimately decided to fold, allowing Retiere to continue building his stack.
