Gin Turn Card for Bartha

Tyler Foran

Level 12 : Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Two players had brewed a pot of about 60,000 as the Q♠J♠3♣ flop lay on the felt. Liviu Bartha was first to act and went into the tank for about two minutes before a fellow tablemate called the clock. As the floor came to the table, Bartha checked, and Raul van Boxtel bet 13,000. Bartha took 30 seconds and made the call.

The 10♥ fell on the turn, and Bartha led out for 20,000. Boxtel jammed for about 41,000 and Bartha snap-called.

Raul van Boxtel: K♠K♣
Liviu Bartha: A♥K♦

It was the perfect turn card for Bartha as he turned Broadway, and Boxtel couldn't find one of the remaining aces to chop as the 2♥ hit the river.

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

On a completed board of K♥J♣5♦3♥8♣, with about 35,000 in the middle, Wouter Beltz was faced with an all-in bet of 33,000 from Gaspare Sposato.

After tanking for a short while, he made the call and saw the good news as Sposato tabled Q♦10♣, missing his open-ended straight draw. Beltz quickly rolled over his K♦9♦ for top pair as he said, "It's never easy."

Ahmad Leila defended the big blind and got his short stack of just 10,500 in after the 10♥6♠5♥ flop. Bo Liu looked him up with the 10♣10♠ in the cutoff and Leila revealed 8♣7♥ for the open-ender.

Leila got there with the 4♠ turn and held for the double on the A♦ river. However, soon after, the seat of Leila was open and he will have to enter one of the three last flights to try again.

Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

A massive pot was brewing over on table 59 right before it broke when Massou Cohen eventually called all-in against the large bet of Michel Molenaar on a board reading K♥Q♣2♦6♠10♥. Molenaar revealed his Q♠Q♦ for a set of queens and Cohen exposed his K♣10♠ for two pair.

One more hand was to be played on the table and the open raise of Albert Gorelik in the cutoff was called by Ioannis Georgopoulos as well as Molenaar in the blinds.

On the 8♠7♣5♠ flop, it checked to Gorelik who bet 4,000. Georgopoulos check-raised to 16,000 and Molenaar reraised to 80,000 which covered both opponents. Gorelik called all-in and so did Georgopoulos.

Albert Gorelik: A♥6♣
Ioannis Georgopoulos: 5♣5♥
Michel Molenaar: 9♦8♣

The 10♠ turn was a sweat for the Dutchman but the K♥ river ensured the double-up of Georgopoulos for 47,700, while Gorelik was eliminated.

As everyone gathered their chips and belongings to find new tables, Molenaar joked "I run so bad ... also cracked Fintan's aces with ace-king suited".

Level 10 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Edward Beaufoy raised 2,500 in early position and received calls from Giovani Torre in the cutoff, Jonathan Therme in the small blind, and Konstantyn Holskyi in the big blind.

When the J♣10♠7♣ flop hit the felt, the action checked to Beaufoy who continued for 8,000. Torre and Therme quickly got out of the way, but Holskyi announced all in. Beaufoy called off his remaining stack of about 30,000, and both players tossed their cards on their backs.

Edward Beaufoy: 6♣3♣
Konstantyn Holskyi: J♦10♦

Beaufoy flopped a flush draw but the J♥ turn improved Holskyi to a full house, leaving him drawing dead as the 8♠ completed the board.
