Level 13 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

PokerNews arrived as Karim Maekelberg three-bet to 12,000, prompting Mosjin El Yakoubi to respond with a four-bet to 55,500, leaving himself just 19,000 behind. Maekelberg made the call, seemingly bracing for an all-in shove that didn’t immediately come.

Karim Maekelberg: A♦K♦

With top pair already in the lead, the K♣ on the turn locked it up for Maekelberg, leaving the 9♣ on the river as a mere formality. El Yakoubi hit the rail, while Maekelberg stacked up even more chips.

Sava Krink

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

Alexander Ivarsson opened the action with a raise to 2,400 from early position, only to face a three-bet to 6,500 from Daniel Radakovic. After some thought, Ivarsson made the call, setting up a significant pot.

The flop came A♠8♣3♣, and Ivarsson checked to Radakovic, who continued for 3,500. Ivarsson called without hesitation.

On the 2♥ turn, Ivarsson checked again, and Radakovic ramped up the pressure with a bet of 8,500. Ivarsson took his time before announcing an all-in shove for roughly 30,000. Radakovic snap-called, flipping over A♣K♥ for top pair, while Ivarsson revealed K♣10♣, chasing a flush draw.

The river 2♦ didn’t bring the needed club, sending Ivarsson to the rail while Radakovic stacked a healthy pot to bolster his stack.
