Beg Outkicks Maugini with Trip Queens, Takes Down 900,000-Chip Pot

Level 23 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Furkan Beg opened to 60,000 from the button and Vittorio Maugini defended his big blind.

The flop came {k-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} and both players were content with a check.

On the {q-Hearts} turn, Maugini put out a bet of 110,000. Beg made the call.

The river brought the {6-Spades} and Maugini bet 275,000. Beg went into the tank and was visibly stuck over his decision and used a couple of time bank cards. Eventually, he made the call with {q-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}.

Maugini turned over {q-Hearts}{8-Spades} for trip queens with a worse kicker and Beg soared to 1,750,000 on the last hand of the level.

Mehdi Chaoui Eliminated in 12th Place ($3,000)

Level 23 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Mehdi Chaoui
Mehdi Chaoui

Vladislav Fedoseev opened to 65,000 from the cutoff and Mehdi Chaoui, who only had a single T-5000 chip remaining after committing 15,000 to the small blind, sent everyone to take a break as he exhausted all but one of his time bank chips hoping to ladder up. After several minutes and without an elimination at the other table, he called without looking at his cards. Arnaud Enselme also called.

Fedoseev and Enselme checked it down as the board ran out {5-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}. Enselme said "six-high" as he showed {6-Hearts}{2-Hearts}. Chaoui showed the {a-Diamonds} and Fedoseev flipped over the {a-Hearts}. Chaoui had kicker trouble as he could only produce the {3-Spades}. Fedoseev had the {5-Clubs} for a pair of fives and Chaoui was eliminated in 12th place.

Chaoui Under One Big Blind After Doubling Up Hasan

Level 23 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Ercan Hasan open-jammed from under the gun for 480,000 and Mehdi Chaoui called from the big blind with a virtually similar stack.

Ercan Hasan: {5-Hearts}{5-Spades}
Mehdi Chaoui: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}

Hasan found himself ahead with a small pocket pair and stayed ahead on the {9-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{9-Hearts} flop, though he now was at risk of being counterfeited.

The turn brought the {7-Clubs} and Chaoui now picked up an additional flush draw.

However, the river brought the {6-Spades}, giving Hasan the pot worth over a million chips.

After the count was complete, the Frenchman had just 20,000 chips, with 15,000 committed to the small blind the very next hand.

Ozcan Barut Eliminated in 13th Place ($3,000)

Level 23 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Ozcan Barut
Ozcan Barut

Arnaud Enselme raised to 60,000 from the cutoff before Ozcan Barut three bet to 100,000. Action folded back to Enselme who moved all in for 250,000 effective. Barut called.

Ozcan Barut: {q-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}
Arnaud Enselme: {q-Spades}{q-Clubs}

Barut was way behind as he was completely dominated by Enselme's pocket queens. The flop came {k-Spades}{j-Spades}{10-Spades} which gave Barut a straight but Enselme had the queen of spades giving him a flush draw. The turn came the {8-Spades} which gave Enselme the flush which sent Barut eliminated in 13th place. The river was the {9-Spades} which was overkill for Enselme who had a straight flush.
