Level 25 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Bojovic Sent to Rail

Herbie Teope

Level 24 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Luka Bojovic moved all in on the button for his remaining 600,000.

Action folded to Raul Martinez, who asked for a count. The dealer confirmed the amount and Martinez called to put Bojovic at risk.

Luka Bojovic: Q♠10♥ All in
Raul Martinez: 7♥7♦

The dealer fanned K♦A♣K♣ on the board, keeping Martinez in the lead. The K♥ improved Martinez’s hand to a full house, but Bojovic still had outs to the river.

It didn’t happen, though, as 9♥ appeared on the turn to give Martinez the knockout blow.

Bernhauser, Pecheux Tangle in Big Hand

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Herbie Teope

Level 22 : Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Action picked up in a hand between Fabian Bernhauser and Erwann Pecheux, and it had plenty of drama.

Bernhauser just bet 100,000 on a board showing Q♣Q♦10♠, and Pecheux, who was to Bernhauser’s immediate left, called.

The 10♦ showed up on the turn, and Bernhauser downsized his bet to 45,000. Pecheux took a few moments before making the call.

The situation picked up on the river, where the dealer fanned 2♥. Bernhauser led out with an 85,000 bet and it sent Pecheux deep in the tank.

How deep? Almost five minutes deep.

The clock was called on Pecheux and the tournament director instructed Pecheux to decide within the 30-second countdown or the hand would be ruled dead.

With less than five seconds to go, Pecheux made the call, only to see the bad news.

Bernhauser immediately tabled Q♥8♣ for queens full of tens, while Pecheux briefly showed K♥10♥ for tens full of queens, which was the inferior full house, before mucking his cards face down.

Bernhauser scooped a large pot and Pecheux was left on fumes with less than 100,000 in his stack.

Pecheux ultimately exited the tournament within minutes of losing to Bernhauser.
