Guichard Shows Aces to Zanette

Gaelle Jaudon

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

In a pot containing around 29,000 with two players involved, the board already showed 5♠Q♥K♦J♥ when Giovanni Zanette bet 9,000 and Paul Guichard tanked a minute before calling.

The 7♣ brought a pair on the river and this time Zanette check-called Guichard for 6,700. The latter tabled A♣A♠ and it was good to take the pot as Zanette mucked his hand.

Level 2 : Blinds 200/300, 300 ante

Three-handed on a flop of Q♦5♣6♦ and around 10,000 in the pot, Adam Grossack bet 5,500 from the hijack and only Yueqi Wang, in middle position called.

The turn came the J♣ and Grossack continued for 11,000. Wang spent several minutes in the tank twirling her chips in her hand before putting them in the middle to see the J♦ river.

Wang instantly announced she was all in for 35,500 as Grossack now went into the tank. "At least I know it's not pocket queens," Wang said before the dealer reminded her not to talk about the hand with action pending.

Grossack eventually open-folded A♠Q♦ and Wang flashed the A♦ as she took the pot.

Ben Keeline, the 2016 Colossus champion, is also at this table by currently sitting on a short stack.

The hijack raised 600 before Eric Fields three-bet to 2,100 in the cutoff. Jake Schwartz was on the button and put in a four-bet to 5,500. The blinds quickly folded as did the hijack, but Fields didn't go anywhere as he made the call.

Both players checked to the river on the Q♣Q♠J♣8♠3♣ board and Fields checked once more to Schwartz who dropped a bet of 4,000 across the line. Fields didn't take too long before surrendering the pot.

Action was picked up on the turn in a hand between four players including Alexandros Kolonias in the hijack, Massoud Eskandari in the cutoff, and Michail Tastanis in the small blind with a significant pot having been built.

The board read J♠7♣A♥K♥ and action checked through to the river 5♦ where action checked to Kolonias who bet 8,800 which saw Eskandari stare down Kolonias before tossing his hand into the muck. Tastanis asked the count and called while the big blind folded.

"You win," Kolonias sighed as he turned over 10♣9♣ for just ten-high while Tastanis turned over K♦J♦ for kings up and he took down the pot from his fellow countryman.
