Dan O'Hair

Level 5 : Blinds 200/500, 500 ante

Olga Iermolcheva opened to 1,100 from early position and action folded around to Wagner Ripper, who put a stack of chips into the middle, which was enough to put Iermolcheva all in for 7,600 total. Iermolcheva quickly called.

Olga Iermolcheva: Q♥Q♦
Wagner Ripper: 7♠7♦

Iermolcheva was in great shape with her ladies, and the A♦J♦5♥A♥9♦ runout kept her out in front for the double-up.

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Jakub Michalak raised for Luca Moschitta to call and Razvan Popa then three-bet to 2,400, earning calls from both Michalak and Moschitta. On a flop of 8♥6♥2♥, the action checked to Popa and he bet 3,000. Michalak folded and Moschitta check-raised to 7,100 for Popa to quickly call.

That led them to the 3♥ turn on which Moschitta check-jammed for 11,000 and Popa called, having bet 5,500.

Luca Moschitta: K♥9♥
Razvan Popa: 10♥10♦

The river was an insignificant 8♣ and Moschitta doubled.

One hand later, Popa opened and Francois Vincenti three-bet to 3,500 off a shorter stack. Popa four-bet to 8,000 and called Vincenti's shove.

Francois Vincenti: J♣J♠
Razvan Popa: K♠K♥

The A♦9♥8♣2♣10♠ board brought no help and Vincenti departed right before the break.

Level 4 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

The action was caught as three players were looking at a flop of K♣3♣5♣.

Joao Tomas, in the small blind, checked the action to Ramana Epparla, in early position. Epparla bet out 2,500, Jason Wheeler called from the cutoff, as did Tomas.

The J♥ turn saw Tomas check again. Epparla continued for 5,000 and Wheeler clicked it back to 10,500. Tomas cold called and Epparla also came along.

It was three ways to the A♦ river as all three players checked to a showdown. Tomas tabled 10♣9♣ for a flopped flush, Epparla mucked A♦K♦ face up, while Wheeler frustratedly announced "Pair the board one time!" as he flashed 5♠5♥ for a flopped set. Tomas took down this big pot.
