Ferrer Cracks Kristofor's Kings

Matt Warburton

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Action folded around to Miroslav Kristofor, who open-raised from the small blind. Kevin Ferrer then moved all in from the big blind for 37,100. Kristofor called the shove and players flipped their cards, with Ferrer at risk.

Kevin Ferrer: A♦K♣
Miroslav Kristofor: K♦K♠

The board ran out Q♦8♦7♦5♦Q♠. The fourth diamond on the river brought both players a flush, but Ferrer had the ace-high flush to crack Kristofor's pocket kings. Ferrer doubled his stack and Kristofor was left short.

Level 7 : Blinds 400/800, 800 ante

Nozomu Shimizu raised to 1,600 from under the gun and picked up three callers. David Sacksick was among them and bet 3,000 out of the small blind on the 10♥3♠2♥ flop. Shimizu called, as did Ali Bayrak in the cutoff. On the J♦ turn, Sacksick bet another 6,000 and this time it was only Shimizu who called.

On the 2♣ river, Sacksick bet 9,000 and Shimizu raised to 33,000. After a brief tank, Sacksick called for almost his entire stack. Shimizu rolled over the J♥J♠ for jacks full of deuces and Sacksick was depleted, flashing his cards briefly before tossing them to the muck.

Lexy Gavin-Mather raised to 1,200, Franck Kalfon called, then Christophe Tamin moved all in from the big blind for around 8,000. Gavin-Mather then isolated for 26,500 effective and Tamin, after taking a minute to think, moved his chips into the middle.

Christophe Tamin: 8♥8♦
Franck Kalfon: Q♦J♦
Lexi Gavin-Mather: 8♣8♠

The board ran out 3♥10♦3♠7♥6♠. Tamin and Gavin-Mather held with their eights and split the pot, while Kalfon was eliminated.

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

David Docherty had lost even more chips but then got a shove through versus Jean Paul Zaffran. Shortly after, he was the raiser against Giuseppe Rago from under the gun, who simply limp-jammed for his stack of fifty blinds. Docherty called for the 33,700 he had behind.

David Docherty: Q♥Q♣
Giuseppe Rago: A♣Q♦

Once the cards were turned over, Rago leaped out of his chair and turned around, seemingly not wanting to see the outcome.

The pocket pair remained ahead all the way on the K♦4♦4♣4♠8♦ board for Docherty to double.

Jean Guiderdoni: 5♥5♣
Niculina Grasu: A♣J♠

They were off to the races and the J♥7♠6♥K♠8♦ runout gave Grasu a pair of jacks to earn the victory.

Christian Zetzsche

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

In a battle of the blinds, Lexy Gavin-Mather and Peter Jaksland invested 6,800 preflop to see a flop of 7♣5♣3♥. Gavin-Mather bet 8,500 and earned a call from Jaksland before she jammed the K♠ turn and Jaksland snap-called.

Lexy Gavin-Mather: A♠A♦
Peter Jaksland: 7♥7♦

Gavin-Mather grabbed her phone to record the showdown once more and needed an ace to stay alive on Day 1c. The river was the blank 8♥ and she quickly inquired if Jaksland had her covered before adding "nice hand," then exiting the tournament area.

With a six-figure stack not long ago, a series of setbacks knocked her stack to zero.

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".

Action folded around to Ioannis Oikonomidis, who shoved all in from the small blind against his shorter stacked opponent. Pablo Silva made the call for under 20,000 and players flipped their cards.

Pablo Silva: K♠9♥
Ioannis Oikonomidis: Q♥6♥

Pablo Silva had called ahead, but the board ran out 4♦7♠5♣Q♦3♥ to give Oikonomidis a pair of queens. He won the pot and chipped up to around 200,000, while Pablo Silva was eliminated from the tournament.
